Near end of season RECAP: Spurs build mini-streak again.

Recuperating well after the 34-Game win streak was ended, the Spurs have won 11 straight games boasting a 64-5 record on the verge of tying their W/L record of two seasons ago (77-5). Andre Drummond had himself another triple-double performance, his second of the season, not to mention a 29-Rebound effort in a win over the Brooklyn Nets, a game that saw VanVleet drop 34 against Kevin Durant's 29. The Big Penguin has gotten cozy in the MVP race, a feat he accomplished two seasons ago.

Next up, Austin Rivers dropped 37 points on the Cavaliers, gelling with his new team nicely as is Jabari Parker. The former #2 pick has scored 20+ more than once already, grabbing double-digit rebounds to help take the load off Drummond, showing his value as a scorer.

Even Coach Pop had a smile on his face when he reactivated both Brandon Ingram & Dejounte Murray, who've both sat out several games during the win streak for load management purposes, as the Memphis Grizzlies came to visit for the final time this season. The Spurs soundly defeated them, 111-125, with 27 points by Ingram & 26 by Murray.

The Spurs are firing on all cylinders with its star trio rested and ready for the championship defense, as 13 games remain on the schedule and Rivers & Parker continue to mesh with Popovich's system.
