00:00:00I'm Kevin Frazier here with the 4-1-1.
00:00:04The Pacers come in looking to get it done.
00:00:08Ron Artest has quick hands and lightning reflexes.
00:00:11Don't be shocked if he racks up a few steals tonight.
00:00:14They'll match up against the Spurs.
00:00:17Manu is going to run the show, and everything's cool as long as he plays within himself.
00:00:30Spurs, Pacers, it's going to be a showdown.
00:00:40Hello, and get ready for some basketball here at the Pacers Arena in Indiana.
00:00:45I'm Bob Fitzgerald with my partner Tom Tolbert.
00:00:47Tom, you have to be impressed when you look at these starting lineups.
00:00:50Which two guys are going to step it up?
00:00:52Fitz, I think we've got to pay attention to this fella.
00:00:55Ron Artest plays great team defense.
00:00:57He's always looking to rotate and bring help defense, and that's essential.
00:01:02On the other side, you've got another good shooter.
00:01:05Emmanuel DiNobili has so-so range that if you give him a clean look, he can be a handful.
00:01:09They're going to need to shut him down.
00:01:11Thanks, Tom. Time to tip it off and get this one going.
00:01:20The Spurs control the tip-off, and we'll get this one started.
00:01:24To Nesterovich.
00:01:27Pump face.
00:01:30Ginobili takes a step back.
00:01:32The step-back J was dropped in by Ginobili.
00:01:35He generally doesn't score in bunches, but he'll take his shots when he can.
00:01:39To O'Neal.
00:01:42They push it inside.
00:01:44Pollard uses the drop step.
00:01:47To Tinsley.
00:01:47Tinsley tries the spin move.
00:01:56Shot clock winding down.
00:01:58The outside fadeaway was no good by Tinsley.
00:02:01Ripped down inside by Nesterovich.
00:02:03You want the ball in the hand of your best players.
00:02:05If they miss, they miss.
00:02:07Skip to Parker.
00:02:08To Ginobili.
00:02:17Ginobili with the shot.
00:02:18Missed off the baseline drive.
00:02:20Those are free throws for most players in practice.
00:02:22It's a much tougher shot when the real game starts.
00:02:25The height advantage really comes into play here.
00:02:27It's just too easy when you have that many inches on your defender.
00:02:30Parker works it up court.
00:02:39To Bowen.
00:02:40Duncan wants it down low.
00:02:42Intercepted.
00:02:43He was a little too anxious to force that one inside.
00:02:45And he got caught.
00:02:47The Pacers are at the controls.
00:02:49The inside leaner was missed by Miller.
00:02:51You want to give yourself the best shot possible.
00:02:53And taking the leaner doesn't qualify.
00:02:57Swant it away.
00:02:58And it's smacked off the court.
00:03:00To Duncan.
00:03:06Duncan shoots from the top of the key.
00:03:08Misses the jumper.
00:03:10Off to the back rim and out by Ginobili.
00:03:12Three shots is tripped down before it's cashed in by Nesterovich.
00:03:15That little close-in hook shot is a lost star of the NBA.
00:03:18Just under 11 minutes here in the first quarter.
00:03:21Oney flies in.
00:03:22Deflected.
00:03:23And that's his first block of the game.
00:03:24He got his hand up there and sent that one right back down.
00:03:28Nice job.
00:03:29Bowen.
00:03:29Goes with the runner.
00:03:30No way.
00:03:31No how.
00:03:32Dipped up and in by Duncan.
00:03:34That's how you fight for an offensive rebound.
00:03:38We've got a four-point ball game.
00:03:40To Pollard.
00:03:43Pollard pulls the trigger from eight.
00:03:45Not there for him.
00:03:46And a second chance bucket was canned by one year.
00:03:49You get inside like that.
00:03:50Those are gimmies.
00:03:52The Spurs bring it up.
00:03:54They're shooting 37% from the floor.
00:03:56And a second chance.
00:03:57To Parker.
00:03:58To Parker.
00:04:04To Ginobili.
00:04:08Six seconds to shoot.
00:04:09Pump fakes.
00:04:11From 15 feet out.
00:04:12It was no good by Ginobili.
00:04:14To Miller.
00:04:15Miller.
00:04:16Miller sails in.
00:04:18Hammered.
00:04:18And he'll go to the line.
00:04:20Hey, if you're going to foul someone, you might as well get your money's worth.
00:04:28He gets the first of two.
00:04:29He gets the ball.
00:04:46Just over nine minutes here in the first quarter.
00:04:49To Nastarevic.
00:04:52Caught by Bowen.
00:04:56To Ginobili.
00:04:59Ginobili pulls the trigger from the high post.
00:05:04Not there for him.
00:05:06Duncan gets it right back after the block.
00:05:09Low post shot was blown by Duncan.
00:05:11Kinsley takes it in.
00:05:14Hits left iron and out.
00:05:16Artes is hacked on the way up.
00:05:18And he'll get two shots at the foul line.
00:05:20My goodness.
00:05:22That guy just mugged him out there.
00:05:24That's a misdemeanor in 30 states.
00:05:26Sinks the first of two.
00:05:29He gets the ball.
00:05:38The Spurs take it up court with a narrow deficit.
00:05:40Eight to six.
00:05:42To Bowen.
00:05:43He's doubled up.
00:05:44Starevic leaves the ground.
00:05:46With the denial.
00:05:46He's swatted away.
00:05:56Terrific block.
00:05:57Watch him elevate with the shooter.
00:05:59And see ya.
00:06:01To our test.
00:06:14Here comes the double team.
00:06:15Splits it with a pass.
00:06:17Off the left rim and out by Tinsley.
00:06:19Killed in the layup misquenaged by O'Neal.
00:06:21That was a nice finish there.
00:06:23Just over eight minutes here in the first quarter.
00:06:31To Duncan.
00:06:32Duncan sails in.
00:06:33Knocked off course.
00:06:34To Miller.
00:06:45Jabs.
00:06:46Miller.
00:06:47Puts it up from the corner.
00:06:48Money on the jump shot.
00:06:49You have to hit a few of those mid-ranchids like that before the D starts taking you seriously.
00:06:54The Spurs with the ball and they trail by six.
00:06:58Ball made from beyond the arc by Parker.
00:07:00He'd better not press his luck.
00:07:02He won't make too many more of those shots, Fitz.
00:07:04The Pacers are on a 10-3 run here.
00:07:07To Miller.
00:07:08He's double teamed.
00:07:09Duncan.
00:07:10Got the block on that one.
00:07:11And stopped the play cold.
00:07:17To Ginobili.
00:07:18Duncan.
00:07:19Wants the ball.
00:07:21Now by Nostarevic.
00:07:23Fades.
00:07:24Rebounded inside by O'Neal.
00:07:28The rejection with perfection.
00:07:30And it's corralled by Tinsley.
00:07:32To O'Neal.
00:07:33O'Neal.
00:07:34Blinds in.
00:07:35Gets it to fall.
00:07:36Good defense on the earlier block, but it didn't pay off.
00:07:39You can't shy away from the spotlight when you're a star, Fitz.
00:07:41And this guy certainly doesn't.
00:07:43Just under seven minutes here in the first quarter.
00:07:45To Nostarevic.
00:07:48Back to Nostarevic.
00:07:49Pass caught by Ginobili.
00:07:51Pump fakes.
00:07:51Seven on the shot clock.
00:07:58Ginobili takes the shot from the elbow.
00:08:01It's ripped down by O'Neal.
00:08:03The Spurs aren't shooting well here in the first quarter.
00:08:07Miller crosses over.
00:08:10Stolen.
00:08:11And that's his first takeaway of the game.
00:08:13To Bowen.
00:08:16Caught by Nostarevic.
00:08:17That's a play that deserves a second look.
00:08:25The Pacers have it and are up three.
00:08:29To Miller.
00:08:32The Pacers turn it over.
00:08:42To Ginobili.
00:08:44Out on the right wing.
00:08:52Ducan's lead.
00:08:53Gets whistled for blocking.
00:08:54And that is his first foul of the game.
00:08:55First team foul.
00:08:59To Parker.
00:09:08The two-pointer off the inbound was dropped in by Parker.
00:09:11Those little guys can drive you nuts.
00:09:12If you let up for just one second, they'll be right by you.
00:09:16Kinsley has it.
00:09:19To Miller.
00:09:23Harrington.
00:09:24Goes for the drop step.
00:09:26Harrington.
00:09:26Is hacked and will go to the line for a couple.
00:09:29Duncan.
00:09:30Will come out of the game because of foul trouble.
00:09:38He can't get the first.
00:09:42Good on number two.
00:09:53The Spurs have it.
00:09:55To Bowen.
00:09:58Outside pass.
00:10:01To Rose.
00:10:05Rose shoots from the post.
00:10:07I dug this play in real time.
00:10:09I'm digging it even more in the replay.
00:10:17And the Pacers bring it up.
00:10:19They're shooting 31% from the floor.
00:10:21Grabbed by Harrington.
00:10:23Too long and it was missed by Harrington.
00:10:26The D did a real nice job of reading the shot and getting there in time to make a difference.
00:10:30Off the front rim and missed by Bowen.
00:10:32The D was fairly mediocre that time.
00:10:34But it was enough to send that three point off the market.
00:10:37Nice shot.
00:10:38But what an assist by Tinsley.
00:10:39That little six to nine footer should be automatic for NBA players.
00:10:43Two point differential between the teams.
00:10:46Received by Rose.
00:10:48Rose shoots.
00:10:50Bounces short off the rim.
00:10:51The steal.
00:10:52To Ginobili.
00:10:54Ginobili takes a turnaround.
00:10:56Jay.
00:10:56Count it.
00:10:57That's a nice job of being patient right there.
00:10:59He knew which way he wanted to go.
00:11:01Went to the turnaround.
00:11:03And calmly dropped it in.
00:11:10To Miller.
00:11:14Pass left side.
00:11:17Five in the shot clock.
00:11:19O'Neill lets it go from 17 feet out.
00:11:22Easily rebounded by Rose.
00:11:27A rare rebound by Tinsley.
00:11:29Ginobili keeps missing and missing here in the first quarter.
00:11:32To Harrington.
00:11:33Harrington is pummeled and will have an opportunity to get two from the line.
00:11:37Miller will come off the floor.
00:11:41Testituion for the slur.
00:11:43He gives them the lead.
00:11:54He gives them the lead.
00:12:04He gets them back.
00:12:05Just under four minutes here in the first quarter.
00:12:12To Turkoglu.
00:12:17Now by Rose.
00:12:18Nice looking pass here, Fitz.
00:12:20A player should always be looking for a teammate who has a better shot than he does.
00:12:24Jones brings it up.
00:12:32To Bender.
00:12:36Bender shoots it.
00:12:37Tickles the twine.
00:12:38The moment you start forgetting about his mid-range jumper is right when he's going to start dropping him on you.
00:12:44The Spurs are just behind here.
00:12:4621 to 19.
00:12:47Swat in.
00:12:48He gets the first of two.
00:13:12And he ties it up.
00:13:13And the Pacers head into the front court.
00:13:19To Bender.
00:13:24Bartes takes it in.
00:13:26And we have a foul.
00:13:34He gives them the lead.
00:13:35He gets them both.
00:13:52Just over three minutes here in the first quarter.
00:13:55Skip to Mercer.
00:13:58To Turkoglu.
00:14:01Pump fakes.
00:14:03Turkoglu goes with the crossover.
00:14:04Turkoglu is called for charging.
00:14:06And that is his first foul of the game.
00:14:08Bartes will head to the bench.
00:14:24Johnson shoots from 12.
00:14:25He's going to send them that side.
00:14:27And it might have crashed.
00:14:29Looked like thundering home a putback like this one.
00:14:34The Spurs with the ball and a four-point deficit.
00:14:39So Turkoglu throws.
00:14:40It has position down low.
00:14:42Mercer lets it go from the wing.
00:14:45Nice rebound by the eight-year man out of Eau Claire High School in South Carolina.
00:14:53Skip to Harrington.
00:14:54Caught by Jones.
00:14:55To Bender.
00:14:57Here comes the double-team.
00:15:00Harrington goes to the hook.
00:15:02Hits it.
00:15:03You know what the eight-year school hook on that one.
00:15:05It seems like every player used to have that shot.
00:15:07Now only a couple guys in the league possess the ability to shoot a hook.
00:15:10Just over two minutes here in the first quarter.
00:15:12To Ori.
00:15:13Deflected.
00:15:14And it's pulled in by Johnson.
00:15:16This guy's going block crazy out there today.
00:15:20To Bender.
00:15:20He's double-teamed.
00:15:25Harrington.
00:15:25Fired from the post.
00:15:26Wasn't there.
00:15:28Rose.
00:15:29Swatted that one away.
00:15:30It's his first block of the game.
00:15:32To stop the drought.
00:15:33Gets the bucket.
00:15:34Wrong.
00:15:35Nice basket to keep this one close early on.
00:15:37You don't want to let this game get away from you.
00:15:39The Pacers have the ball in a small lead.
00:15:4127 to 23.
00:15:45Johnson.
00:15:45Off the glass.
00:15:46Boxes the lay-in.
00:15:47To Mercer.
00:15:51Mercer takes a quick shot.
00:15:53Misses the jumper.
00:15:55The Spurs are connected now trail only by a basket.
00:15:58He's just too quick for his man.
00:16:00That's why he got the inside shot he wanted.
00:16:02Just over a minute here in the first quarter.
00:16:06Skip to Bender.
00:16:07To Johnson.
00:16:13O'Neal uses the drop step.
00:16:15That's old school basketball right there.
00:16:20The pump fake.
00:16:21You know why it's old school?
00:16:22Because it works.
00:16:25And the Spurs take it out.
00:16:27They're shooting 35% from the floor.
00:16:32To Mercer.
00:16:35Received by Turkoglu.
00:16:39Turkoglu shoots from the post.
00:16:4010 rebounds by the 8-year-old man out of Eau Claire High School in South Carolina.
00:16:48Controlled by Mercer.
00:16:49Most players have the advantage when they go inside.
00:16:52He's one of those guys who just always seems to have trouble in there.
00:16:56Skip to Parker.
00:16:58Back to Mercer.
00:16:59Rose wants it down low.
00:17:00To Ori.
00:17:05Six seconds to shoot.
00:17:07Short shot and miss by Ori.
00:17:09He doesn't like it when the D gets up in his ground, those mid-range jumpers.
00:17:12Because this is what happens.
00:17:14A difficult shot and miss by Johnson.
00:17:18Got it off in time.
00:17:19But the buzzer beater was missed by Parker.
00:17:21There's the horn.
00:17:21And at the end of one, it's 29-25.
00:17:30O'Neal.
00:17:30Inbounds to start the second quarter.
00:17:38To Jones.
00:17:42Long to Harrington.
00:17:45To Jones.
00:17:46Jones.
00:17:47Jones.
00:17:47Jones.
00:17:52Jones.
00:17:53Shoots with the clock winding down.
00:17:55Great shot by the eager man of Eau Claire High School in South Carolina.
00:17:59Nice job fighting on the offensive boards.
00:18:07The Spurs work it up.
00:18:08They're shooting 33% from beyond the arc.
00:18:11To Duncan.
00:18:12And that's his first takeaway of the game.
00:18:14I think he used a little bit of his psychic powers on that one.
00:18:17Kind of like the Wonder Twins.
00:18:18He seemed to know where it was going before the passer did.
00:18:20A rare rebound by Parker.
00:18:23That's a shot NBA players don't miss in practice.
00:18:26Once the game starts, it's a whole different story.
00:18:32To Parker.
00:18:35Pass right side.
00:18:37Duncan.
00:18:37That has position down low.
00:18:39Picked off.
00:18:42To Jones.
00:18:44They're inside.
00:18:45Now by Harrington.
00:18:47Great anticipation in the steal.
00:18:49That leads to a bucket.
00:18:50It's not about the turnovers.
00:18:51It's about capitalizing on them on the other end.
00:18:58The Spurs can cut into the lead with a basket here.
00:19:01To Duncan.
00:19:02Here comes the double team.
00:19:03Duncan gets it right back after the block.
00:19:06An extra effort rebound by Jones.
00:19:08To Jones.
00:19:18Skip to Bender.
00:19:20Roane gets called for the reach.
00:19:21And that is his first foul of the game.
00:19:23First team foul.
00:19:23First team foul.
00:19:25To Jones.
00:19:34Clock down to six.
00:19:36O'Neal uses the drop step.
00:19:39Clocked out of the sky by Duncan.
00:19:41That's just right around the spot where they stop being gimme's.
00:19:44And we've got to concentrate to knock him down.
00:19:46Six the first of two.
00:20:09He gets them both.
00:20:10The Pacers have the ball in the lead.
00:20:1633 to 27.
00:20:21Skip to Jones.
00:20:23To Harrington.
00:20:27The ball's loose.
00:20:28The Pacers recover it.
00:20:30Duncan made the nab back there.
00:20:32Records his first steal.
00:20:34To Duncan.
00:20:36Dumps it off.
00:20:38Duncan launches from beyond the arc.
00:20:40Forget about it.
00:20:42Roane is hacked and will go to the line for a couple.
00:20:53Can't sink the first.
00:21:03Good on number two.
00:21:04And the Pacers could add to their lead with a bucket this trip down.
00:21:14Skip to Jones.
00:21:16Lobbed to Bender.
00:21:17Bender pulls the trigger from the high post.
00:21:23Plucked out of the sky by Duncan.
00:21:30To Mercer.
00:21:33Grabbed by Parker.
00:21:35He's double-teamed.
00:21:35This guy is just too big for his defender.
00:21:38If they get that matchup again, don't be surprised to see him go right back at it.
00:21:46Just under nine minutes here in the second quarter.
00:21:48Bender.
00:21:53To Jones.
00:21:55Jones releases from 15.
00:21:57Ripped down inside by Rose.
00:22:02Rejected hard.
00:22:03Sinks the first of two.
00:22:20He gets them both.
00:22:27The Pacers have the ball and a one-point lead.
00:22:29To Bender.
00:22:31Out of the way.
00:22:33Into the low post.
00:22:36To end the drought.
00:22:37Harrington.
00:22:37A ton of points by the six-year man out of St. Patrick's High School, New Jersey.
00:22:41They took the first shot they had, and I don't think it was a good one.
00:22:45But what do I know?
00:22:46They made it.
00:22:47Parker is credited with the assist.
00:22:49That's his fifth.
00:22:52Johnson works it up court.
00:23:00Johnson takes a wide open shot.
00:23:02No good.
00:23:04Bender puts it up inside.
00:23:06Rani on the jump shot.
00:23:07No one's going to confuse this guy with an offensive juggernaut, but that doesn't mean you can just take him for granted.
00:23:12To Turkoglu.
00:23:17Pass caught by Rose.
00:23:18He was wide open.
00:23:23There's not much positive you can say about the defense after that play.
00:23:27The Pacers are at the controls.
00:23:30To O'Neal.
00:23:31O'Neal sails in.
00:23:32Parker brings it up, and he's got five assists.
00:23:45Now by Duncan.
00:23:47Gets the offensive board.
00:23:49Mercer takes it in.
00:23:51Now he's in double figures.
00:23:52The pace from the first quarter is carrying right on over into the second quarter.
00:23:56Neither team is letting out.
00:23:57Just over seven minutes here in the second quarter.
00:24:01To Harrington.
00:24:03Harrington puts it up.
00:24:04Knocked off course.
00:24:05They now have the lead after that shot by Parker.
00:24:17Not quite inside.
00:24:18Not quite outside.
00:24:19That little shot can cause hesitation with some players.
00:24:22One point separating the teams.
00:24:24To Bender.
00:24:26Harrington is asking for it in the post.
00:24:28And that's his first takeaway of the game.
00:24:30When you're down low like this, Fitz, it's very easy to get the ball stolen.
00:24:34That's why you have to keep the ball up high.
00:24:36Puts up the tray.
00:24:38Hits the long ball.
00:24:39He needed that one.
00:24:40What a nice job of not hanging your heads.
00:24:43Keep grinding and get right back into the game.
00:24:45The Pacers work it up.
00:24:47They're shooting 35% from the floor.
00:24:52To stop the drought.
00:24:54The defensive rebound by Duncan.
00:25:01Caught by Parker.
00:25:02The J was off the mark by Parker.
00:25:06The low-low shot was dropped in by Duncan.
00:25:08That basket is good, but it certainly doesn't erase some of the questionable shots he's been taking.
00:25:13Just under six minutes here in the second quarter.
00:25:15To Bender.
00:25:18Now left side.
00:25:22Lobbed to Harrington.
00:25:24Harrington.
00:25:25Pays away inside.
00:25:26Misses the jumper.
00:25:28It's hard to bleed, but this one gets even better the second time.
00:25:30Parker takes it up, and he's got nine points.
00:25:41To Turkoglu.
00:25:44Now right wing.
00:25:48Pump fakes.
00:25:51Parker glides in.
00:25:52Gently drops it in.
00:25:53Parker.
00:25:54This guy is so quick.
00:25:55He's the only person I know that could break his shadow's ankles.
00:25:59The Pacers have the ball that are trailing.
00:26:0147 to 41.
00:26:03To Jones.
00:26:08Grabbed by Bender.
00:26:09It's blocked.
00:26:14Substitution for the Pacers.
00:26:15Substitution for the Golden 4-1.
00:26:19Substitution for the Golden 4-2.
00:26:20Substitution for the Golden 4-1.
00:26:20Goes back in after sitting on the bench for a while.
00:26:31He gets the first of two.
00:26:33Substitution for the Golden 5-1.
00:26:34Dunkin's will come out of the game because of foul trouble.
00:26:38Nice.
00:26:39Nice.
00:26:39Nice ball.
00:26:40Funny.
00:26:41Nice.
00:26:41Seriously.
00:26:42ensen for the Golden 4-1.
00:26:44Substitution for the Golden 4-1.
00:26:44第.
00:26:44He's off on the second. Rebounded inside by Nesterovich.
00:26:53Lobbed to Bowen. Skip to Carter. To Bowen.
00:26:57Kinsley is tagged with a reach, and that'll be his second foul of the game.
00:27:01Where the bonus will go to the line to shoot two.
00:27:07He can't get the first.
00:27:09And Ender will come off the floor.
00:27:20He misses a ball.
00:27:22It's ripped down by Harrington. To Miller.
00:27:25Miller is hacked on the way up, and he'll get two shots at the foul line.
00:27:29I like the aggressive D, but that was way too much contact not to draw a foul that time.
00:27:36Sinks the first of two.
00:27:39He gets a ball.
00:27:54And the Spurs have the ball, and the run is 11-5.
00:27:57Received by Ori. The J was missed by Ori.
00:28:00Look up ugly in the dictionary, and there'll be a freeze frame of that shot.
00:28:04And the Pacers are back a bit here. 47-44.
00:28:08Check out this unreal assist. Now that's what made the play work.
00:28:13The Spurs bring it up. They're shooting 40% from beyond the arc.
00:28:23Skip to Nesterovich. To Ginobili. Ginobili crosses it over. It's stolen.
00:28:29You've got to keep a vice grip on the ball down low.
00:28:31Everyone's raking at it, and if you don't hold on to it, you're going to lose it.
00:28:35To Artest. With a jab step. To Miller.
00:28:45The shot clock shows five. Miller lets it go from the wing.
00:28:50Nice rebound by the six-year man out of Slovenia.
00:28:54To Bowen.
00:28:59Bowen goes with the crossover. Bowen takes it in. And the ref calls a foul.
00:29:09Good for the three-point play.
00:29:23And the Pacers with the ball and a four-point deficit.
00:29:26Skip to Miller. Bounce to Tinsley. To Artest. Six seconds to shoot.
00:29:44Artest tries the spin move. Count that last lay-in by Artest.
00:29:49This guy will surprise you every now and then with that crossover dribble.
00:29:52And that's exactly what happened on this play.
00:29:54To Ginobili. Pass low post. Knocked off course.
00:30:01Ken Glee made the nab back there. He cores his first steal.
00:30:04He likes a great job he does positioning himself for this guy.
00:30:09Once he was up there. He just went up and boom! Flushed it.
00:30:16Carter heads up court.
00:30:21To Ginobili.
00:30:26Ory goes with the drop step. The shot from the post. Missed by Ory.
00:30:34Those are free throws for most players in practice. It's a much tougher shot when the real game starts.
00:30:42Harrington is looking for the ball. And that's his first takeaway of the game. To Bowen.
00:30:47That's why you double-team on the inside. It gives you a great chance to come away with a plot. Or in that case, a steal.
00:30:54Looked at post-shot by Ginobili. Coaches are always happy when players establish the inside game.
00:30:59Just over two minutes here in the second quarter. To Miller.
00:31:04Two minutes.
00:31:06Miller commits the charge-in. That is his first foul of the game.
00:31:10Fits at a feather head position all the way on that one. He just can't bowl over people like that.
00:31:17O'Neal will come back onto the floor.
00:31:24To Ginobili. Rejected hard. And that's his sixth block of the game.
00:31:30Ginobili. And he comes away with his third pickpocket tonight. To Ory.
00:31:37Ory takes a turnaround J.
00:31:39Topps right in.
00:31:41Good rebound on the inside.
00:31:44Tinsley brings it up. He's shooting 20% from the floor.
00:31:57Tinsley slides in. Deflected.
00:31:59He gets a ball.
00:32:14He gets a ball.
00:32:18The Spurs have the lead here. 54-52. To Ginobili.
00:32:23Pass caught by Cardin.
00:32:24Now by Cardin.
00:32:25Hits the back iron but missed by Cardin.
00:32:26Most players have the advantage when they go inside.
00:32:27He's one of those guys who just always can get from you.
00:32:28Nice tip right there.
00:32:29It's better just to tip it in and then grab it and bring it down.
00:32:33If some little guy can run around in there and strip it from you.
00:32:35The Spurs bring it up.
00:32:36The Spurs bring it up.
00:32:37To Ginobili.
00:32:38Right side pass.
00:32:40To Ginobili.
00:32:41To Ginobili.
00:32:42Jabs.
00:32:43Ginobili.
00:32:44Jabs.
00:32:45Ginobili.
00:32:46Spurs.
00:32:47Ginobili.
00:32:48Spurs.
00:32:49Spurs looks good.
00:32:50To Doon.
00:32:51To Peter.
00:32:52He's the big boy.
00:32:54That krypton ball11 in.
00:32:55Onesk, come on and grab it.
00:32:57This spurs bring it up.
00:32:58To Ginobili.
00:32:59Right side pass.
00:33:00To Ginobili.
00:33:01Don Kimberly.
00:33:02Shabs.
00:33:03Ginobili.
00:33:04Spin.
00:33:05Ginobili pulls the trigger from the high post.
00:33:08A rare rebound by Miller.
00:33:11Pump face.
00:33:13You're scotting off.
00:33:14Oh, okay.
00:33:16To O'Neal. O'Neal is hacked on the way up and he'll get two shots at the foul line for the Spurs.
00:33:26We'll sit down to avoid further foul trouble.
00:33:33He gives them the lead.
00:33:43He gets them both.
00:33:4623 seconds here in the second quarter. Skip to Turkoglu.
00:33:52Artes made the nab back there. Records his first steal.
00:33:55To O'Neal. O'Neal shoots from the post.
00:33:59Big bucket by the new man out of Oakland, high school in South Carolina.
00:34:04To Ginobili to stop the drought. Ripped down inside by Pauli.
00:34:12Can't capitalize.
00:34:15We've reached halftime with the score 58-54.
00:34:18Now that we have a little breather, Tom is going to give us the stat breakdown with GameTrack.
00:34:22Take it, Tommy.
00:34:24Thanks, Fitz.
00:34:25The Pacers took advantage of the charity stripe in the first half.
00:34:28And those freebies are big. If you can keep hitting the line and knocking down the free throws, you've got to like their chances.
00:34:35That'll do it for GameTrack for now. We'll check in to see how it all played out in the storyline at the end of the game.
00:34:40O'Neal.
00:34:46Inbounds to start the second half.
00:34:48To Artest.
00:34:50Lobbed to Pollard.
00:34:52Pollard goes to the drop step.
00:34:56Easily rebounded by Duncan.
00:34:59Nothing good usually comes out of him taking that shot. That's out of his range, Fitz.
00:35:03To Nesterovich.
00:35:06Jab steps.
00:35:08Skip to Duncan.
00:35:12Pollard made the pickpocket and that's his second so far.
00:35:16Scott Pollard continues to be a nuisance out there. And I mean that in a good way.
00:35:22And Hensley puts it up from 11.
00:35:25Roll that replay, please. I gotta see this one again.
00:35:34Here in the third quarter.
00:35:38To Bowen.
00:35:40Tim Duncan is calling for it.
00:35:42And that's takeaway number two for him.
00:35:44You're definitely risking deflections and turnovers when you throw a pass like that in a carted lane.
00:35:49Received by Artest.
00:35:52Lobbed to O'Neal.
00:35:56O'Neal fires.
00:35:58Sinks his 20th point of the game.
00:36:00He's making his living down there on the inside.
00:36:03Parker works it up and he's got five assists.
00:36:07To Bowen.
00:36:12Skip to Ginobili.
00:36:13To Duncan.
00:36:15He's double-teamed.
00:36:16About nine feet out.
00:36:17Nailed by Duncan.
00:36:18He can score inside even under the most difficult circumstances.
00:36:21You gotta respect that.
00:36:23The Pacers take it up court and they're leading.
00:36:2562 to 56.
00:36:27To O'Neal.
00:36:29Pump face.
00:36:30Miller launches from beyond the arc.
00:36:33No serve.
00:36:34Unless the clock's running down on you.
00:36:36There's just no reason to take him that deep.
00:36:40To Parker.
00:36:41Parker fires from the right block.
00:36:43Parker.
00:36:4411 points by the third year man out of France.
00:36:47Just over ten minutes here in the third quarter.
00:36:50To Miller.
00:36:51O'Neal.
00:36:52Takes the quick shot.
00:36:53Not there for him.
00:36:54Another block.
00:36:55Good point.
00:36:56Good point.
00:36:57He can't get the first.
00:37:03He sinks the second.
00:37:17It's a five point game.
00:37:26To Duncan.
00:37:27Duncan takes it in.
00:37:28That's nice.
00:37:29Let's see that one again from another angle.
00:37:32He can't complete the three point play.
00:37:45The next draft for rebound by Pauler.
00:37:47To O'Neal.
00:37:49Dubs it off.
00:37:52Hingley uses the glass.
00:37:54Gets the land.
00:37:55The Spurs take it up.
00:37:59They're shooting 39% from the floor.
00:38:02To Duncan.
00:38:03Duncan shoots from 13 feet out.
00:38:06Nice defensive rebound by Pauler.
00:38:13To Miller.
00:38:14Pass left side.
00:38:18They work it in.
00:38:19Missed shot in the paint by Pauler.
00:38:21Got his own rebound.
00:38:23And then drained by Pauler.
00:38:24He's not generally going to throw a million moves that he'd down low.
00:38:27But I like the poise he had on that last play.
00:38:29Just under nine minutes here in the third quarter.
00:38:31To Ginobili.
00:38:32Ginobili.
00:38:33Releases from the stripes.
00:38:34Hits it.
00:38:35He generally doesn't score in bunches.
00:38:36But he'll take his shots when he can.
00:38:37Kinsley.
00:38:38With a bucket here he can get his tenth point of the game.
00:38:40Martes sails in.
00:38:41That's blocked.
00:38:42Shoes a three.
00:38:43Can't connect from long range.
00:38:44He's been all over the place this quarter with his shot selection.
00:38:45Nothing's been easy for him.
00:38:46Miller has now hit double figures.
00:38:47Miller!
00:38:48Miller!
00:38:49Miller!
00:38:50Miller!
00:38:51Miller!
00:38:52The Spurs bring it up and they've hit their last two shots.
00:38:54We're going to almost 2 points for the score.
00:38:561, 2, 3...
00:38:582, 3, 4...
00:39:002, 4, 3, 4!
00:39:023, 4, 3, 2, 3, 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 9, 9, 9, 10, 10, 10, and 10, 10.
00:39:13The Spurs ring it up, and they've hit their last two shots from beyond the arc.
00:39:22To Ginobili. Ginobili shoots.
00:39:26He's a second master.
00:39:27By trash-talking, but by thundering home a put-back like this one.
00:39:36And the Pacers would love to extend their lead this trip down.
00:39:41To our test.
00:39:43Our test unloads from deep, deep three-point range.
00:39:46Nails the trade.
00:39:48He had very little pressure on him that time, and that made all the difference in the world.
00:39:52And the Spurs can trim this lead down and bring it close with a bucket here.
00:39:58To Duncan. Duncan takes a shot from the elbow.
00:40:02A rare rebound by Pollard.
00:40:06Nails it.
00:40:07With that shot, they've got a nice cushion for themselves on the scoreboard.
00:40:10Parker brings it up, and he's got 13 points.
00:40:16Pass caught by Ginobili.
00:40:19Ginobili, with the finger roll, swatted away.
00:40:21And the Pacers with an eight-point lead in the ball.
00:40:46Here comes the double-team.
00:40:49Pollard takes up his fifth point of the quarter.
00:40:51He has a total seven.
00:40:52And the Spurs work it up.
00:40:53They're shooting 28% from beyond the arc.
00:40:56Caught by Bowen.
00:40:57Bowen glides in.
00:40:59Cuts the score to single digits.
00:41:00This is one of those guys they don't run a lot of plays for, but I'll tell you how he gets his points.
00:41:04By getting out there, constant movement, and always hustling.
00:41:08Just under seven minutes here in the third quarter.
00:41:11To O'Neal.
00:41:12Pump fakes.
00:41:13For a double-digit lead.
00:41:15And it's worthy of a second look.
00:41:16Ready!
00:41:18Go!
00:41:18Go!
00:41:18Go!
00:41:18Parker has the rock.
00:41:29To Ginobili.
00:41:32Now right side.
00:41:36Skip to Ginobili.
00:41:37To cut it to single digits.
00:41:39Money on the jump shot.
00:41:41His shooting has been streaky tonight, so hopefully this is a good sign.
00:41:45Kinsley works it up.
00:41:46He's shooting 33% from the floor.
00:41:49To Artest.
00:41:51Artest puts it up inside.
00:41:54Misfired!
00:41:56Knocked off course.
00:41:57Pump the ball.
00:41:59Pump the ball.
00:42:01Substitution for the Spurs.
00:42:15He gets the first of two.
00:42:18He gets the ball.
00:42:33Just over six minutes here in the third quarter.
00:42:35To Ginobili.
00:42:38Up down low.
00:42:41To Ginobili.
00:42:43He's double-teamed.
00:42:44Nistarovic fires from the right block.
00:42:47Nice rebound by the seven-year man out of Kansas.
00:42:54Miller sails in.
00:42:56Bounces off the left rim and out.
00:42:57He needs more moves once he gets inside, Fitz.
00:43:00He just doesn't have a clue what to do once he commits.
00:43:06To Ginobili.
00:43:07Ginobili launches from beyond the arc.
00:43:09Ten rebounds by the seven-year man out of Kansas.
00:43:12To Artest.
00:43:19Jabs.
00:43:21Artest releases from 15.
00:43:23I dug this play in real time.
00:43:25I'm digging it even more in the replay.
00:43:31The Spurs have the ball.
00:43:34Dumps it off.
00:43:36To Ori.
00:43:37Ori takes it in.
00:43:39Count the basket and the foul.
00:43:41They came at a halftime with the lead.
00:43:43Right now, they're adding to it.
00:43:45Parker will come off the floor.
00:43:47No good, and they don't get the three-point run.
00:43:58Three-knotted inside by O'Neal.
00:44:00Jermaine O'Neal is really pulling down the boards this time.
00:44:03The basketball isn't a one-man game.
00:44:05The rest of the team better start helping out on the boards.
00:44:14To Bowen.
00:44:15Ori wants the ball.
00:44:18He gets it inside.
00:44:21To end the drought.
00:44:22Misses the jumper.
00:44:23If it were hard to catch it before,
00:44:25it's going to be next to impossible now.
00:44:27This drought is absolutely killing them.
00:44:31To Harrington.
00:44:34Grabbed by Miller.
00:44:39O'Neal pulls the trigger from the high post.
00:44:42Rebounded inside by Bowen.
00:44:45To Bowen.
00:44:51To cut it to single digits.
00:44:53Controlled by O'Neal.
00:44:59Received by Harrington.
00:45:02Grabbed by Miller.
00:45:03Miller goes with the fadeaway.
00:45:05You don't get a lot of clean looks like this.
00:45:08So when you do, you have to take advantage.
00:45:11Just under four minutes here in the third quarter.
00:45:13To Nesterovich.
00:45:14To Bowen.
00:45:20Denies it.
00:45:22And it's right back to the shooter.
00:45:25The long ball was off the mark by Bowen.
00:45:28Nesterovich made the nab back there.
00:45:30He courts his first steal.
00:45:31This guy is just too big for his defenders.
00:45:34If they get that matchup again,
00:45:35don't be surprised to see him go right back at him.
00:45:38To O'Neal.
00:45:49Hensley puts it up.
00:45:50No good from Eleven.
00:45:51That's just right around the spot where they stop being gimme's.
00:45:54And you've got to concentrate to knock him down.
00:45:59To Bowen.
00:46:02Bowen with the crossover.
00:46:04Bowen shoots from the post.
00:46:06Miss fired.
00:46:07I like how he went with the crossover there.
00:46:09Of course, I would have liked it a lot more
00:46:11if he would have actually made a bucket.
00:46:13Miller has ten points this period.
00:46:15He's got 18 total.
00:46:16Reggie Miller is in control this quarter.
00:46:19The buckets are coming quick and easy for him.
00:46:21And the Spurs with the ball,
00:46:22but they're down double digits.
00:46:24The fadeaway was hit by Carter.
00:46:26The Spurs' bench is doing its part fits,
00:46:28but they need their starters to step up
00:46:30and help make a game out of this.
00:46:32Hensley takes it up, and he's got eight assists.
00:46:35To O'Neal.
00:46:36O'Neal from inside.
00:46:38A rare rebound by Ori.
00:46:40Hard serve for the charge,
00:46:41and that is his first foul of the game.
00:46:48Looks fresh coming back on the floor.
00:46:52Substitution for the Spurs.
00:46:54Hensley takes a quick shot.
00:47:04Hits it.
00:47:05The Pacers are just like sharks on the inside today,
00:47:08and they smell blood.
00:47:09The Spurs bring it up.
00:47:11They're shooting 40% from the floor.
00:47:13To Ginobili.
00:47:16Caught by Ori.
00:47:17Two minutes.
00:47:19Pass caught by Bowen.
00:47:21Bowen is off for the charge,
00:47:23and that will get him his first foul of the game.
00:47:26That personal foul puts him on very shaky ground, Fitz.
00:47:30Harrington takes it up court,
00:47:32and he's three out of his last six shots from the floor.
00:47:35To Foster.
00:47:38Skip to Tinsley.
00:47:40Tinsley crosses it over.
00:47:43The step-back J was off the mark by Tinsley.
00:47:45A great crossover can just lose a defender and get you an easy bucket.
00:47:49An average one will get you results like that.
00:47:52Pump fakes.
00:47:52Genobili fires from 14.
00:47:59That's what the replay is here for.
00:48:01Checking out plays like this.
00:48:08Kinsley works it up court,
00:48:10and he's only hit two out of his last six shots from the floor.
00:48:13Now by Foster.
00:48:15Dumps it off.
00:48:18To Foster.
00:48:20Pass caught by Jones.
00:48:22Jones fires.
00:48:24Untied it from 15.
00:48:26With Pacers,
00:48:27you're shooting lights out.
00:48:28It's bad enough when one player gets it going.
00:48:30When the whole team shoots as well,
00:48:32you might as well forget about it.
00:48:34To Bowen.
00:48:38Lob to Ori.
00:48:40Ori uses the drop step.
00:48:42He's doubled up.
00:48:43Swatted.
00:48:44And gathered by Harrington.
00:48:47That's a face job right there, Fitz.
00:48:52To Foster.
00:48:57Left wing pass.
00:49:00Artes uses the glass.
00:49:01Knocked off course.
00:49:04Substitution for the Spurs.
00:49:05Sinkes the first of two.
00:49:22Defensive rebound by Ori.
00:49:27To Rose.
00:49:28Carter flies in.
00:49:30Gets the far iron, but it goes in.
00:49:32He generally doesn't score in bunches,
00:49:34but he'll take his shots when he can.
00:49:36Kinsley.
00:49:36With an assist here,
00:49:37he'll have ten assists on the night.
00:49:39Grabbed by Artest.
00:49:41That hit every part of the rim,
00:49:42but it was made by Artest.
00:49:44In the right situation,
00:49:45he can get the inside shot he wants, Fitz.
00:49:47And that was the right situation.
00:49:53Carter puts it up from 11.
00:49:55Not there for him.
00:49:57Kinsley hurls it from about three-quarter court.
00:50:00No one's home.
00:50:01We're at the end of the third,
00:50:02and it's a double-digit game.
00:50:04The score, 95-82.
00:50:06Duncan throws it in to start the fourth quarter.
00:50:14To Turkoglu.
00:50:17Wing pass.
00:50:22Ginobili with a charge,
00:50:24and that will be his second foul of the game.
00:50:26You can't plow over people like that
00:50:28and expect to get away with it.
00:50:29He's got an uphill battle.
00:50:54They should be able to keep this guy in check
00:50:57without worrying much.
00:50:58To Crozier.
00:51:00Crozier shoots from the post.
00:51:01The height of management really comes in the field.
00:51:04It's just too easy
00:51:05when you have that many inches on your defender.
00:51:11And the Spurs with the scary deficit here.
00:51:1397-82.
00:51:15To Rose.
00:51:16Rose fires from the post.
00:51:18Not this time.
00:51:19The rebound pays dividends canned by Duncan.
00:51:21The more touches your star players get,
00:51:24the better your offense flows.
00:51:25Artes can pick up his 20th point this trip down.
00:51:32Artes sails in.
00:51:34Bounces long in a mode fall.
00:51:36Went with the lay-in, but it was missed by Foster.
00:51:43To Duncan.
00:51:44Fades.
00:51:45Ripped down inside by Foster.
00:51:47To Foster.
00:51:58Pump fakes.
00:52:01To Harrington.
00:52:02The steal.
00:52:03When you're down low like this, Fitz,
00:52:05it's very easy to get the ball stolen.
00:52:07That's why you have to keep the ball up high.
00:52:09Duncan gets it right back after the block.
00:52:12The shot from the line cashed in by Duncan.
00:52:14That 10-14 footer can be more difficult than it looks sometimes.
00:52:18Nice follow-through.
00:52:19Just under 11 minutes here in the fourth quarter.
00:52:25To Harrington.
00:52:27Foster goes with a fadeaway.
00:52:30Ripped down by Turkoglu.
00:52:31To Duncan.
00:52:39To cut it to single digits.
00:52:41Misses the jumper.
00:52:43That's the kind of shot you want, Fitz.
00:52:45You can't ask for better execution on offense.
00:52:47Sometimes they just don't go.
00:52:4910-footer was off the mark by Foster.
00:52:51Those are free throws for most players in practice.
00:52:54It's a much tougher shot when the real game starts.
00:52:56Ginobili puts it up from 11.
00:53:02Not there for him.
00:53:03But watch how a real man does his thing here.
00:53:14The Pacers have the lead here.
00:53:1697-88.
00:53:19D'Artest.
00:53:22Right wing pass.
00:53:23Five in the shot clock.
00:53:32To end the drought.
00:53:33No doubt about it.
00:53:34This is one of those guys they don't want a lot of plays for.
00:53:37But I'll tell you how he gets his points.
00:53:38By getting out there.
00:53:39Constant movement.
00:53:40And always hustling.
00:53:42The Spurs take it out.
00:53:43They're shooting 20% from beyond the arc.
00:53:47To Rose.
00:53:51Now outside.
00:53:52For three.
00:53:54Gets the front rim.
00:53:55Not to be mean Fitz.
00:53:57But you have a lot of guys around the league taking three who shouldn't be.
00:54:01I'd probably have to put him in that category.
00:54:03D'Artest releases with no one near him.
00:54:06Big bucket by the five-year man out of St. John's.
00:54:08Not a bad decision Fitz.
00:54:10He shot a little early.
00:54:11But he knocked it down.
00:54:13Harder brings it up.
00:54:14To Turkoglu.
00:54:16Thrown down by Turkoglu.
00:54:17This guy's normally not a dunker.
00:54:19But he flushed that one just to make sure it was going down.
00:54:22Just over eight minutes here in the fourth quarter.
00:54:28To Crozier.
00:54:32Lobbed to Harrington.
00:54:35Harrington goes to the drop step.
00:54:37Humpfix.
00:54:39Humpfix.
00:54:40Artax with the shot.
00:54:42Couldn't capitalize on the drive.
00:54:43A few more feet in and he would have had a good chance to sink that one.
00:54:47To Turkoglu to cut it to single digits.
00:54:54We certainly can't let this one go by without taking another look.
00:54:57And the Pacers can extend their lead this trip down.
00:55:07They'd love to do that.
00:55:09To Jones.
00:55:10For a double-digit lead.
00:55:12A rare rebound by Ginobili.
00:55:18Rose.
00:55:19A ton of points by the eight-year man out of Drexel.
00:55:21Just over seven minutes here in the fourth quarter.
00:55:27To Foster.
00:55:30Now right side.
00:55:33Harrington.
00:55:34Wants it in the post.
00:55:36Lobbed to Harrington.
00:55:38Harrington.
00:55:39Uses the drop step.
00:55:41Rose.
00:55:41Made the pickpocket and that's his second so far.
00:55:44Carter.
00:55:45Connects on the shot.
00:55:46And he's fouled.
00:55:47He'll get the additional free throw.
00:55:49Harrington.
00:55:50We'll head to the bench.
00:55:52Bowen looks fresh coming back on the floor.
00:56:03He can't complete the three-point play.
00:56:06A rare rebound by Foster.
00:56:09To Foster.
00:56:12Lobbed to O'Neal.
00:56:14It's stolen.
00:56:16And that's takeaway number two for him.
00:56:18To Bowen.
00:56:18Bowen takes the quick shot.
00:56:21Forget about it.
00:56:22That one just looked a little off when he released it.
00:56:29To Artest.
00:56:32Dumps it off.
00:56:33To Miller.
00:56:38The shot clock shows five.
00:56:40Still a scoring drought and a miss by Miller.
00:56:42They still have the lead, but this scoring drought is not what they had planned.
00:56:46They need to calm down, get control, and play like they did earlier on in the game.
00:56:50Tried to connect in the fadeaway, but it was no good by Carter.
00:56:54To Foster.
00:56:55O'Neal is calling for it.
00:56:56O'Neal is calling for it, clock down to six to end the drought.
00:57:09Nice rebound by the eight-year man out of Drexel.
00:57:12The Pacers can't hit their shots in here in the fourth quarter.
00:57:17Skip to Turkoglu.
00:57:19Back to Carter.
00:57:20Received by Carter.
00:57:23Duncan goes to the drop step.
00:57:25Dude.
00:57:26So nice.
00:57:27You've got to look at it twice.
00:57:28Just over five minutes here in the fourth quarter.
00:57:37To Miller.
00:57:38The Pacers control the loose ball.
00:57:41Caught by Foster.
00:57:44To Artest.
00:57:47Now outside.
00:57:50To end the drought.
00:57:52Easily rebounded by Rose.
00:57:58To Carter.
00:58:03Pump fakes.
00:58:07Artest gets called for the block.
00:58:09And that will be his second foul of the game.
00:58:11Second game foul.
00:58:14Foster will leave the floor.
00:58:18Nesterovich comes back in after sitting on the bench for a while.
00:58:28To Parker.
00:58:34Six seconds to shoot.
00:58:37To Nesterovich.
00:58:39Nesterovich.
00:58:39Shoots with the clock winding down.
00:58:42Ripped down inside by Crozier.
00:58:45Batted away.
00:58:47There's the steal.
00:58:48Turkoglu.
00:58:49And he comes away with his third pickpocket tonight.
00:58:51Bowen takes it to the rim.
00:58:58And the ref calls a foul.
00:59:00These teams have been battling all game long, fans.
00:59:03And it may not be decided to the very end of the fourth quarter.
00:59:09Good for the three-point play.
00:59:11Just over four minutes here in the fourth quarter.
00:59:17Skip to Miller.
00:59:20To Pollard.
00:59:23Grabbed by O'Neal.
00:59:25To stop the drought.
00:59:26Talk about earning a replay.
00:59:27This is definitely worth another look-see.
00:59:35This first, with the score of this trip down, can tie it up.
00:59:41Parker uses the glass.
00:59:44Flows the layup.
00:59:45Parker is hacked and will go to the line for a couple.
00:59:54He gets the first of two.
01:00:03And he ties it up.
01:00:04Artes takes it up.
01:00:10He's shooting 58% from the floor.
01:00:15To Crozier.
01:00:16Crozier lets it go from the wing.
01:00:18Ten rebounds by the six-year man out of Slovenia.
01:00:27To Turkoglu.
01:00:28That's a tough shot.
01:00:29He gets hammered.
01:00:31And he'll head to the strike.
01:00:32Can't sink the first.
01:00:48And he gives them the lead.
01:00:54The Pacers make it up for it with a narrow deficit.
01:00:57104-103.
01:00:58To Pollard.
01:01:00Pollard shoots from the post.
01:01:03Scott Pollard finishes off a double-double.
01:01:05But he's still got to worry about the game.
01:01:07Because it's tight.
01:01:10To Turkoglu.
01:01:12Duncan fires from 14.
01:01:15It's ripped down by Pollard.
01:01:19Misses the jumper.
01:01:20That wasn't a block.
01:01:22But it was the next best thing.
01:01:25To Turkoglu.
01:01:29Turkoglu releases from close range.
01:01:31Check out the way he drives to get open here, Fitz.
01:01:34What a sweet move and an even better shot.
01:01:39The Pacers have a chance to take the lead here late in the fourth.
01:01:42To Pollard.
01:01:50Pump fakes.
01:01:52To O'Neal.
01:01:53He's double-teamed.
01:01:55Miller releases.
01:01:56Can't finish it in the post.
01:01:58When you get inside and come away empty, you're always a little angry at yourself.
01:02:03Or a lot angry at yourself.
01:02:05Jan down with one hand by Nasterovic.
01:02:07Two minutes.
01:02:14To Crozier.
01:02:18Now by O'Neal.
01:02:20O'Neal uses the drop step.
01:02:23And last hit was up and in by Pollard.
01:02:26Nice basket.
01:02:27Got to love close games.
01:02:29And this one's going to be close down to the wire.
01:02:31Just under two minutes here in the fourth quarter.
01:02:33Turkoglu takes a quick shot.
01:02:36Not there.
01:02:37It's getting that call over yet, but it's definitely not the way you want to be playing down the stretch.
01:02:43The Pacers work it up court.
01:02:47To Crozier.
01:02:48O'Neal is asking for it in the post.
01:02:50The pass is intercepted.
01:02:52Tim Duncan continues to be a nuisance out there.
01:02:55And I mean that in a good way.
01:02:58Parker fires from 14.
01:03:02Not there for him.
01:03:04Off the front rim and missed by Duncan.
01:03:06The Pacers are all over the boards tonight.
01:03:09And it's a big part of what's keeping him in the game.
01:03:12To Crozier.
01:03:16Received by O'Neal.
01:03:17O'Neal takes the shot.
01:03:22It's blocked.
01:03:23It's blocked.
01:03:23Pass caught by Parker.
01:03:33That's a play that he deserves a second.
01:03:35O'Neal.
01:03:35O'Neal.
01:03:35It's going to be hard to catch up now.
01:03:46They're going to have to score quickly and then foul immediately.
01:03:49The Pacers will take a timeout here.
01:03:55To O'Neal.
01:03:58Crozier.
01:03:58To the left block.
01:03:59Cooper Money on the jump shot.
01:04:01The Spurs will take a timeout here.
01:04:03Timeout Spurs.
01:04:10To Parker.
01:04:12He's doubled up.
01:04:13Pacers.
01:04:13Parker had his pass go out of bounds and they'll give the ball up.
01:04:17The Pacers take their last timeout.
01:04:19To O'Neal.
01:04:26Pump fakes.
01:04:27He's doubled up.
01:04:29Off target from the right block by Pollard.
01:04:32To Bowen.
01:04:33Bowen takes a quick shot.
01:04:35A rare rebound by Miller.
01:04:42To Miller.
01:04:43And that's his first takeaway of the game.
01:04:45Miller with the personal.
01:04:47That will get him his fourth foul of the game.
01:04:49And because we're in the bonus, we'll head to the line for two.
01:04:53He gets it to fall.
01:05:00Crozier.
01:05:00With the personal.
01:05:01That will be his second foul of the game.
01:05:03We're in the bonus.
01:05:04We'll go to the line to shoot two.
01:05:07He gets the first of two.
01:05:09He's off on the second.
01:05:20Rebounded inside by O'Neal.
01:05:22That's a way to get in there and battle.
01:05:24Battle, battle, battle, battle.
01:05:27Miller launches from beyond the other end.
01:05:29That's nice.
01:05:31Let's see that one again from another angle.
01:05:32Timeout, Spurs.
01:05:35O'Neal with the personal.
01:05:37That will get him his fourth foul of the game.
01:05:39And because we're in the bonus, we'll head to the line for two.
01:05:46He gets the first of two.
01:05:48He gets them both.
01:06:02No dice from long range.
01:06:13There's the horn, and this game is in the books.
01:06:15The final score, 116 to 112.
01:06:18That was some game.
01:06:19We can't leave without getting the storyline from our own Tom Tolbert.
01:06:22Tommy, it's all yours.
01:06:24Thanks, Fitz.
01:06:25The Spurs showed how important a team's bench is.
01:06:28Sometimes we always talk about the superstars and what they're doing.
01:06:31But if you can have a team that goes 9, 10, 11 deep, boy,
01:06:35you're going to have a great chance to win that game.
01:06:37Thanks for the storyline, Tom.
01:06:38We also don't want to forget the MVP.
01:06:41Duncan is our ESPN player of the game,
01:06:43and he finishes with a total of 20 points and 17 rebounds.
