Spurs Come Back to Swat Hornets

Elizabeth White writes for the Associated Press:

Down nine points going into the period, Duncan had already done plenty, scoring 12 points in the third and hitting his first 3-pointer of the season.

So the Spurs turned up the defensive effort, holding the New Orleans Hornets to just 13 fourth-quarter points to win 92-88 Wednesday.

“We gave up a lot in the previous quarters. It was a great way to turn it up,” said Duncan, who led the Spurs with 31 points.

The look on Tim’s face says it all.
