SAN ANTONIO -- Even after going 1-for-11 from the line, Tim Duncan resisted the urge to try a new approach to his shot.

Duncan made two free throws with 12 seconds left to send the game to overtime and the San Antonio Spurs dominated from there, defeating the Clippers 95-87 Tuesday night.

"I don't ever do anything different. I just put them up there and hope they go in," said Duncan who had 27 points, 22 rebounds and five assists. "Sometimes it goes good, and sometimes it goes bad, but I just want to give myself a chance."

Tim's free throw form is drasticly different from pre-season and early season when he was making them all. He has now reverted to last years form without realizing it. I was shocked during pre-season at how much better his form was....good release timing with his legs and a nice arc. This also seemed to translate to his outside shot which also looked great.

Now, though, he's back to poor release timing which leads to the flat arc we've seen for the past few games. I wish he'd watch some tape from when he was shooting well. I'm sure he'd realize what he's doing.

Clippers were Short-handed & shot a season-low 33.3%... And scored three points in OT...Impressive victory SA... :smokin

Well, we didn't have Ginobili, and Duncan and Parker have nagging little injuries, and our defense was PHENOMINAL in the fourth quarter and overtime. It was an impressive win, wasn't it?

first half sucked, outscoured both 1st and 2nd qtrs, badly outrebounded and out hustled.

Spurs appeared to show some interest in the game in the 3rd qtr, but couldn't sustain it in the 4th qtr. Looked like another Atlanta game.

Spurs played well in overtime. escaping with an ugly W. It's December.

I saw this game differently. I thought it was a hard-fought game, once the Spurs upped their rebounding and defensive intensity in the 2nd half. The Clips were beating the Spurs to reb. and loose balls in the 1st half.

Their 3rd quarter effort was outstanding. The Spurs took care of the ball particularly well considering the Clippers doubled Tim hard almost every touch. It was a matchup of two of the best defensive teams in the league and the Spurs held true on that by holding the Clippers to 33% FG shooting.

It was a very entertaining game, highly competitive and indicative of a battle between 2 of the top 4 teams in the league.

I agree. Never thought I'd see a top-tier important NBA game against the Clips.

I agree it was a great game WHEN THE SPURS DECIDED TO PLAY, which excludes at least all of the first 24 minutes.
I recorded the game on my DVR. I see no reason to keep the first 24 minutes.
