Tim Duncan fez 23 pontos, pegou 13 rebotes e ajudou o Spurs a bater o Boston Celtics no TD Banknorth Gardem além das contribuições de Matt Bonner 23 pontos e 8 rebotes e Manu Ginobili 19 pontos. A surpresa foi a fraca atuação de Tony Parker que anotou apenas 7 pontos, 7 assistências e 3 acertos de 12 arremessos tentados.Pelo lado de Boston Kevin Garnett com 26 pontos e 12 rebotes foi o destaque seguido de Rajon Rondo com 6 pontos e 16 assistências.
Fica uma curiosidade o time de Boston tem uma campanha de 24-4 em seu ginásio sendo que até agora só perdeu para times do oeste: Spurs 08/02 , Lakers 05/02, Rockets 07/01 e Nuggets 14/11/08.
Overall, it wasn't a convincing performance by the Spurs especially the way they threw their lead at the start of the 3rd quarter. But they showed their resilience to win games likes this.
ResponderExcluirI would not write off the Celtics but after losing to the Lakers and Spurs at home, you might wonder are they still the best as they were last year.
For me, that steal from Manu was priceless. Terrific defense and pressure that forced Ray Allen to commit the free passage foul.
His health was always questionable this season. Well after this game, people must agree with me that he is back to his best. Considering Parker was off the mark, Manu step up like he was the All-Star.
Check out my re-cap and let me hear your views.
