VIDEO: Popovich, Sager heart warming reunion

Gregg Popovich

San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich is known for having a disliked attitude toward most of the media, using blunt, sarcastic remarks during sideline and end-of-game interviews.

It's different with TNT reporter Craig Sager, though, who returned to work this season after fighting acute myeloid leukemia. Popovich and Sager have an Abbott and Costello-like bond, with several of their back-and-forths being comedy gold.

Prior to Thursday's game between the Spurs and Memphis Grizzlies, Sager headed to the locker room to have his first meeting with Popovich in quite some time:

Their first in-game interview was just as memorable. They haven't missed a beat:

Spurs Oust Hawks

Tim Duncan - Kawhi Leonard - Tony Parker - Manu Ginobili

The San Antonio Spurs won their fifth straight game, while not allowing much offensively for the Atlanta Hawks in a 108-88 victory Saturday night.

Spurs' rising offensive force Kawhi Leonard scored 22 points, shooting 6-11 from the field, adding 3-3 from behind the arc, while having 7 rebounds and 2 assists. Leonard also shot 7-7 from the charity stripe.
San Antonio matched a season high with nine 3-pointers in winning its 18th consecutive home game against Atlanta and 10th straight overall against the Hawks.

Atlanta had season lows for points in any quarter (12 in the second), first-half points (37) and matched a season low for total points.

LaMarcus Aldridge added 13 points and Tim Duncan had 10 points and 18 rebounds for San Antonio, which has won 11 of 12.

The Spurs had many highlight plays on the night as they were clicking on all cylinders. Along with Parker and Duncan 700th win together.

Spurs - LaMarcus Aldridge Return vs Mavs

LaMarcus Aldridge

LaMarcus Aldridge will return back to the Spurs starting lineup Wednesday night as they host the Dallas Mavericks.

With Aldridge missing from the lineup for two games with an ankle sprain, the Spurs still managed to win both games by double-digits.

The power forward is shooting under 43 percent from the field and averaging 15.3 points per game, which is his lowest average since his rookie year (2006-07).
