Spurs Save 0-4 Start with Double Overtime Victory

November 6, 2008

Going into last nights game, the Spurs we very bothered by the fact they hadnt gone 0-3 since 1973 when the franchise was still in the ABA League. Tony Parker was very bothered by the situation as you could tell when he was playing. He had 55 points last night including a last second shot from 20 ft to send it into a second overtime. Al Jefferson made Tim Duncan look stupid with 2.5 seconds left in the game but after a timeout called by the Spurs, they were able to advance the ball past halfcourt. They inbounded the ball to Tony Parker running to his right, he caught the ball, took one dribble left, puts the ball up with 1.2 seconds left…swish. The 2nd overtime was the Tony Parker show and the Spurs were able to pull off the victory 129-125 after two overtime periods. Tony Parker ended the game with 55 points (second highest in career) and 10 assists. Duncan had 30 points and 16 rebounds. Jefferson and Miller were the leading scorers for the Timberwolves. Jefferson had 30 points and 14 rebounds while Miller had 25 points and 7 rebounds.
