11-point lead for MN! Best game of the year so far. Hopefully none of those late-game problems tonight.

75-62, Jefferson baby hook. He's been a beast. But Duncan answers, 75-64. Bassy hits another J, 15 for him.

luther

No turnovers since 2:13 of 2nd Q. It's very late 3rd now. 7 TO for the game by MN.

Ginobilli's flopping is really getting out of hand. And now he hits a 3 on the other end, 80-72, MN lead.

luther

These refs are really getting out of hand, too.

luther

Shoot, this isn't going well. Tied at 80 with 9:50 to go.

luther

100-89. Spurs. 2:27 left. This has gone badly.

Thank you for your game reporting. Sorta of. It was nice to have them lead the reigning Champion but everything went badly in the last quarter. Kind of expected this collapse, though.

"Sorta thank you," or thank you for the "sorta game reporting"? Wondering whether, or how, to take offense!

JuX

The 2nd one.

That'd be thanks for the "sorta game reporting".

(btw, in case the sarcasm didn't translate, I wasn't really going to be offended regardless. Just kidding around.)

I must say, the team looked so good for most of the game, it's a shame how it collapsed. And while I don't like to do it, I really blame the refs for some of it. They absolutely stole some momentum late in the third and early in the fourth with some very inconsistent calls.

With so many negatives last night, though (McCants out, Jaric getting hurt), one real positive was the play of Corey Brewer. His stats may not reflect it because he shot, I think, 2-8. But he played very well, extremely assertive and successful on defense, and working on offense. His ball-handling is still almost comical and he can't shoot worth beans (relative to an NBA swingman). But his defense, length, hustle and athleticism were priceless last night. And when he was out there with Green, Smith and Telfair (along with Jefferson, Walker or Buckner, depending on the exact time), you could see what the team is building toward.

I turned this game on just as we were going up by 14 points near the end of the 3rd. We looked pretty crappy and the Spurs looked like the Spurs. I wish I would've seen how we were actually playing so good before that.
