Spurs overtake Warriors for No. 1 seed in West

Don't look now, but the San Antonio Spurs officially own the top record in the NBA.

With their victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night, the Spurs overtook the Warriors for first-place in the West by virtue of a head-to-head tiebreaker with Golden State.

Just like he has all season, Kawhi Leonard led the way for San Antonio, collecting 31 points, five rebounds, and four assists in the 107-99 win.

With Kevin Durant out indefinitely with a left knee injury, the Spurs have quickly erased what was once a four-game lead for Golden State by winning 11 of their last 12 contests. The Warriors, meanwhile, have looked as vulnerable as they've been in years, going just 2-5 since losing Durant.

Tim Duncan may be retired and Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili's best years are well behind them, but the Spurs are still the Spurs, and they're once again showing why they should never be discounted.
