SPURS 102 HAWKS 100...DUNC's "J" beats the HIGHLIGHT Factory 404 as HAWKS Starters TEAGUE, SAP, and Big AL led the charge...S.A.S. gets Vintage "DUNC"...LOGO WATCH ALAMO City w/SPURS Community riding Shotgun #SPURSnation #VintageDUNC1997

A tough night at the office for the Spurs and Spurs Community but in the end it's Ole Reliable Timmy Duncan of Wake Demon Deacons Hoops Lore that brings S.A.S. home with a "W". The Spurs eke out a 102-100 win vs the Atlanta Hawks as Tim Duncan goes O-Zone Layer and hit the game-winning "J" as only the Legend and soon to be Springfield, Mass Alum can.

A game that was nip and tuck the whole way and looking even deeper longtime Spurs Assistant now Hawks Lead Man Mike Budenholzer had some kind of game plan versus his ex-boss and team. Then Spurs led 50-49 as Spurs Community hit Concessions and 73-71 after three as the Hawks just didn't go away. Down the stretch it was Hawks Point God Jeff Teague (19 pts 7 assts) of Wake Demon Deacons and Nap Town Pike High School, Paul Milsap (15 pts 14 rebs) of Rustin Louisiana U...LA Tech, and Big Al Horford (18 pts 7 rebs)  of "Billy Ball" in the Swamp that carried the Hawks. It was a Tim Duncan Jumper that put the Spurs in the Winner's Circle.

Dunc went Classic Dunc and circa 2001-02 with a 23 points 21 rebound effort. There is a reason the Spurs have been great for all these years and it's Dunc and his leadership, professionalism, and him being a "We Guy" instead of a "Me Guy". Boris Diaw added 16 pts and Point God "TP9" added 15 points and waited seven tables. Super-Sub Marco Belinelli added a cool and efficient 13 as only Marco can.

The Spurs move to 15-3 and the Hawks fall to 9-10....
