net.SAN ANTONIO -- Having no answer for Kevin Love for three-and-a-half
quarters, the San Antonio Spurs made Minnesota solve their Big 3. The
Timberwolves failed. Tony Parker had 29 points to offset Loves season-high 42
points and San Antonio rallied for a 117-110 victory over Minnesota on Friday
night. Manu Ginobili had 20 points and nine assists, fueling a 37-21 fourth
quarter that helped the Spurs avoid their second home loss this season. Tim
Duncan added 12 points and 14 rebounds. Duncan, Parker and Ginobili have won
three NBA titles together and are the active leaders for wins as a trio. That
experience paid off against the Timberwolves, who have not made the playoffs
since 2005. "Its got to show up somewhere," Duncan said of the trios experience.
"If you want to call it that, it is what it is. We know whats going on out
there, especially when it gets down to crunch time and things really count. Weve
made plays long enough that we know where each other is going to be." Ginobili
and Parker combined to score San Antonios final points in a 26-12 closing run,
and teamed with Duncan to dish out all but one of the teams final five assists
and seven of its last 11 rebounds. "We know what theyre capable of and when you
get them into a two- or three-minute game, theyre incredible," Love said.
"Theyve played together for a very long time, but they just made plays and we
missed shots that we usually make." Kawhi Leonard had 19 points and Boris Diaw
and Marco Belinelli had 12 points apiece for San Antonio. Nikola Pekovic had 18
points, Ricky Rubio added 15 points and Kevin Martin had 14 for Minnesota, which
had won two straight. Ginobili scored 16 points in the final quarter, helping
San Antonio overcome a lethargic start. His reverse layup with 2 minutes
remaining extended San Antonios lead to 111-108. "Manu is playing great," Parker
said. "Hes got his legs. He looks like hes fresh and hes making his shots. In
the fourth quarter, he was very aggressive. That was big for us." Parker was
just as big, making his only 3-point attempt of the quarter while scoring 12
points on 5--for-7 shooting.
Nikola Pekovic Jersey. "Thats why he is one of the best in the league, and thats why he almost won (the NBA title) by
himself last year with the Spurs," Rubio said. "Right now, hes one of the top
two or top three point guards in the league." San Antonio needed the trios
contributions to offset Love. He was 8 for 9 on 3-pointers and had 14 rebounds.
He had 26 points after halftime, nearly besting his previous season-high of 34
in the second half alone. "He shot the ball incredibly," Duncan said. "He made
some tough ones and just kept on going. Boris did a great job in the last six
minutes of really getting onto him and making him do something else. It changed
the game a little bit for us." Loves final points came on a pair of free throw
with 6 minutes remaining and his last basket was on a dunk 41 seconds earlier.
Leonard scored nine straight points midway through the third quarter, keeping
San Antonio in the game while Minnesota got hot behind the 3-point line. The
Timberwolves were 6 for 12 on 3s in the third, making three consecutive attempts
to take a 79-75 lead with 4 minutes left. Love had the opening and closing 3s in
the run, finishing with 19 points in the third quarter. He was 5 for 6 on 3s in
the period, and 7 for 9 overall as Diaw, Jeff Ayres and all the help defence the
Spurs provided failed to slow him. "He is a great player," Spurs coach Gregg
Popovich said. "When you can play inside and outside the way he does, he is a
tough cover. I think we could have done a better job. I thought we made some
really fundamental errors in guarding him, but, be that as it may, he is a
monster." NOTES: Spurs centres Tiago Splitter (tightness left calf) and Aron
Baynes (calf strain) both sat out. ... Minnesota F Chase Budinger (knee surgery)
missed the game, as did C Ronny Turiaf (fractured right elbow). ... Entering
Fridays game, San Antonio leads the league in assists, averaging 25.0 per game.
... Entering Fridays game, a quarter of Corey Brewers 114 baskets for Minnesota
this season had come on dunks. He is shooting 45 per cent from the field.
