With the Spurs victory over the Bucks on Saturday night, San Antonio improved their record to 15-3, their best start in franchise history.

"Professionalism," coach Gregg Popovich said to describe his club. "I'm a fortunate guy. I've got a group of guys who are of the age that it's important to them every night. They really do believe it's their job. And I don't have to convince them or fire them up or do anything like that.

"So, it's a compliment to their character more than anything."
