The San Antonio Spurs make a visit Friday to the that city famous for brotherly love, cheese steaks, and restrained, respectful sports fans.

They do have awesome cheese steaks, anyway.

Tim Duncan and the Spurs will look to continue on the winning track after winning in their first outing after the all star break by a razor thin margin against Indiana. The Spurs, victorious in three of their last four, look to turn the history books on their proverbial heads on Friday, and defeat the 76ers at home. No easy task, as San Antonio have won just twice since 1999 – losing the other seven times in nine contests.

Philadelphia, on the other hand, look to turn things back around, after dropping two following a season high five game win streak. A big win at home over a tough team like San Antonio could just give the 76ers the spark they need to get things back on track. Also, look for Allen Iverson to make an impression as he returns to the starting lineup after being out to look after his ill daughter. Iverson has proven particularly effective against the Spurs historically, averaging 28.8 points per game over 25 games.

Despite Philly’s X-factor (and their often extremely intimidating fanbase), look for San Antonio to grab just their third win since 1999 in Philadelphia. Tim Duncan will be looking to prove a point after his disastrous scoring performance on Wednesday, and, even if his scoring is still off, will be effective in other facets, holding the game 76ers at bay. Expect a relatively even contest, with the sportsbook favorite San Antonio Spurs pulling away and sealing the deal in the second half.
