Game Story
LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- Tim Duncan scored 22 points and he and
Terry Porter each had six straight points during the fourth
quarter for the San Antonio Spurs as they notched their seventh
straight victory over the Los Angeles Clippers, 99-94.
Duncan hit three field goals in the paint as the Spurs gained a
90-85 lead with 3:27 remaining. Porter made a layup with 2:23
left and buried a jumper 58 seconds later to close a 13-7 run
and give San Antonio a 94-87 lead, its biggest cushion in the
fourth quarter.
Derek Anderson hit a layup and rookie Lamar Odom made a pair of
free throws to pull the Clippers within 94-91 with 59 seconds
left. The Spurs increased their lead to four when Porter made
1-of-2 free throws 15 seconds later.
The Clippers fell apart late in the game. Tyrone Nesby, who had
been 0-for-8 from the floor, missed a layup and David Robinson
grabbed the rebound. Jaren Jackson was fouled and he made two
foul shots with 34 seconds left for a 97-91 cushion.
Avery Johnson scored 14 points while Mario Elie added 12 for San
Antonio, which has not lost to Los Angeles since December 4,
1997 and completed a 3-1 road trip.
Duncan, who also grabbed 17 rebounds, was happy with his overall
play, but not the fact that he shot just 8-of-24 from the field.
"They were playing tough defense and I was missing a lot of
shots I usually make," Duncan said. "They are a young team that
is very athletic. They just have to put some things together
and they'll make a run at anybody."
"The funny thing about Tim is that even though he didn't have a
good shotting night, he competes on every play," Spurs coach
Gregg Popovich said. "He had 17 rebounds and made his shots
down the stretch. That's what makes him great."
Anderson made 10-of-17 shots and scored 28 points, two shy of
his career high which he set April 3, 1998 against the Los
Angeles Lakers. Taylor scored 18 points and Odom added 16 for
Los Angeles (1-4).
"I felt we could have won this game. I think we should have won
this game," Taylor said. "We just haven't shot the ball as well
as we're capapble. I thinks that's the difference between
winning and losing."
"The first day of training camp and every day since, I learn
something new," Odom added. "I have confidence, lots of
confidence and I haven't played in this league very long."
Duncan scored 11 points in the first half and Samaki Walker came
off the bench to add nine as the Spurs opened a 51-46 lead. Odom
and Anderson paced the Clippers in the first half with 10 points
apiece.
Anderson scored 12 points in the third quarter, including five
during a 16-8 run that moved Los Angeles within 63-62 with 4:19
left.
