Parker continued his outstanding play in the fourth, scoring eight of his team's first nine points to keep the Spurs ahead by double-digits as they ran away with the victory. "We got to find a way to win on the road. That's the bottom line," Tim Duncan said about his team's upcoming nine-game road trip. "We're going to have enough opportunities coming up soon." Game Notes San Antonio will get its first opportunity when it opens its nine- game road trip against Memphis on Monday while the Thunder will head to Portland on Monday for their second of five straight on the road....The Spurs shot 84 percent from the line while the Thunder managed just 60.7 percent.

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though. Arizona 20-1 To visit this online sportsbook got to MySportsbook.com for all your Sportsbook betting needs. |
