Duncan Sparks Spurs in Philidelphia

Tim Duncan played a huge role in the Spurs' win over the 76ers with 34 points and 13 rebounds. This was the first time San Antonio has beat the 76ers in Phili. The Spurs gained an 11 point advantage due to poor shooting from the Sixers; going 0-16 from the field. Kyle Korver, who was the first 76er to score 7.5 minutes in to the quarter commented on how he could feel the crowd getting tense and even angry at how the 76ers were playing. Phili only went 3-25 in the first quarter and were down by 14 at the end of it. But they chipped away at San Antonio's lead one basket at a time ending the half only down 33-40. By the end of the third the 76ers had managed to pull out a four point lead; 59-55. The 76ers came within two points after a jumper hit by Andre Iguodala but never came within 4 points for the rest of the game. Iverson, who scored 24 points but only shot 35% that night was forced to leave the game after running into a courtside cameraman. X-rays showed only a bruise to his right elbow.
