With triple-double from Gasol, Spurs take down Kings
Led by a triple-double performance from Pau Gasol the Spurs beat the Sacramento Kings to wrap a three-game road trip.
Even with Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green sitting out of the game with nagging injuries the Spurs still pulled off a 108-99 victory.
After exiting a tight first quarter tied at 35, the Spurs started to pull away from the Kings and went into halftime with a 62-49 lead off a 10-2 run.
A big second half gave Manu Ginobili a season-high 15 points and extended the Spurs lead. The team started the final quarter up by 14, aided by the 14 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists from Gasol.
After a brief holiday break, the Spurs are back in action at home on Tuesday against the Nets. Tipoff is at 7:30 p.m.
