The San Antonio Spurs stretched their unbeaten run to 11 games, recording an emphatic 126-110 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Friday (PH time) at Barclays Center. Julian Champagnie scored a team-high 26 points for the Spurs, who are on their longest winning streak since NBA legend Tim Duncan concluded his illustrious 19-year career a decade ago.

Champagnie was efficient on the offensive end, shooting 10-for-14 from the field, including 6-for-9 from beyond the arc. Stephon Castle dropped 18 markers, while De’Aaron Fox and Devin Vassell each scored 14 points.

The Spurs got off to a strong start, building a 36-22 lead at the end of the first quarter. They never looked back after that as they cruised to their 43rd win of the season. They are now just 1.5 games behind of the Oklahoma City Thunder for the best record in the Western Conference.

The Spurs have won 11 straight games for the first time since a 13-game winning run from December 26, 2015, to January 22, 2016. San Antonio won the first 10 contests by an average of 14.3 points and kept the streak going by crushing the Nets by 16 points.
