The Spurs beat the Bucks in San Antonio last night, 95-92, and the box score brings two things to mind:
- When Michael Finley scores big, the Spurs are hard to beat. He scored 21 in just 27 minutes tonight. Parker and Ginobili played more minutes. but scored fewer points — 18 and 16, respectively. Only Duncan had more, but he played 39 minutes to get his 27 points.
The Spurs have won 15 out of 17 games when Finley has scored in double digits.
- Nazr Mohammed is getting more playing time, and more rebounds, and that’s good news.
Nazr had five rebounds tonight, and when he has pulled down five or more boards, the Spurs have won 15 out of 17 games.
