With their 38th straight home victory to open the NBA season, the San Antonio Spurs set a new NBA record and matched the highest win total in franchise history.
On Wednesday night, the Spurs won over the injury-depleted New Orleans Pelicans 100-92 and Manu Ginobili scored 20 points. With the latest victory, the San Antonio Spurs win their 47th straight home game overall dating to last season, according to Fox Sports.
But it seems that no one of them cares. San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said that "it doesn't mean anything." He added, "Maybe a cup of coffee, maybe." According to ESPN, Gregg Popovich's blank stare on Wednesday night NBA game previewed what he would say.
San Antonio point guard Tony Parker also said, "It doesn't matter to me." He added that for him, the championship is all that matters.
The Spurs consider the regular season details as meaningless, while observers might view what's happening in San Antonio as special. However, for the San Antonio Spurs, the final goal is to walk away in June with a championship trophy in hand.
As point guard Tony Parker said, the only thing that really matters is to "try and win a championship." He added that it is less important how many games they won or having a good regular season.
San Antonio Spurs' 100-92 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans is business-as-usual. The only thing fans will remember is how many championships you won rather than how many games you won, according to Parker.
Since the last season, the recent victory over New Orleans Pelicans marked the San Antonio Spurs' 47th regular-season home triumph in a row. The Spurs also matched a franchise record for 63 regular season wins.
San Antonio Spurs also topped the 37-0 start by the Chicago Bulls. The Spurs and the Warriors will face off on each other's home court, playing twice in the next two weeks.
The home streaks of the two teams are possible on the line, while the Warriors got their chance to end up with a new record or match Spurs' record. Currently, the Golden State has an existing 36-game home winning streak.
