San Antonio Beats New Orleans, Forces Game Seven


Tonight, defending World Champion San Antonio beat Chris Paul and visiting New Orleans 99-80. In doing so, San Antonio evened the Western Conference semifinal series 3-3, and forced a deciding game seven (which will be played Monday night in New Orleans).

Once again, San Antonio was led by Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili:

"Manu Ginobili led the Spurs with 25 points. From the 4:32 mark of the first quarter until 10:48 left in the game, he hit six 3-pointers.

Tim Duncan had 20 points and 15 rebounds. He has 7 of 14 from the field and 6 of 8 on free throws. Tony Parker had 15 points."

This is the main reason why they are the defending champion. If not none of this would have been possible.

I have to admit that I had my fair share of doubts before the game. But in the end, this is what Spurs will always do. Raise their bar when everyone least expect them to do so.

I'm extremely happt that the biggest contributor was Manu. He was just sensantional.

If there is one player that the Spurs would need to inspire them in Game 7, in my mind it has to be Obi Wan Ginobili.

But lets forget the Hornets will not give in easily. On their turf they play like they are the Champion. It will be extremely difficult for the Spurs in NO.

Anyway, I've posted my own review of the game. I would love to hear your thoughts/opinions of the game as well.....

And most certainly, a speedy recovery to David West.
