Spurs vs. Panathinaikos
FOURTH QUARTER: YOUTH SERVED
Duncan hit 6 of 9 from the field and 8 of 10 free throws.
Early in the fourth quarter the Spurs went with a lineup of Anthony Lever-Pedroza, Keith Langford, Marcus Williams, Kris Lang and Ian Mahinmi. Williams was drafted by the Spurs this summer and Mahinmi was drafted in 2005.
Mahinmi, a 6-foot-11 center, made his first basket with 7:52 left in the game. He had a strong defensive stop moments later that had Duncan clapping on the sidelines.
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, long known for his intensity on the sidelines, was in his calm teacher mode throughout the game.
THIRD QUARTER: UDOKA STEPS UP
Ime Udoka, who has been called the next Bruce Bowen, scored his first points of the game when he hit a jumper with 6:36 left in the third quarter. That finished a 14-2 Spurs run that made it 76-48.
Udoka had another basket as the Spurs took a 92-64 lead at the end of the third quarter.
At one point the game was held up while an official made one of the Panathinaikos players tuck in his shirt. We were trying to figure out what they can do to a player from Greece who doesn't tuck in his shirt. It's not like the NBA can fine or suspend him.
SECOND QUARTER: DUNCAN AND BOWEN
Tim Duncan and Bruce Bowen got in an offensive groove in the second quarter to carry the Spurs to a 60-44 halftime lead over Panathinaikos on Saturday at the AT&T Center.
Duncan had eight points in the second quarter with two baskets and 4-of-4 free-throw shooting.
Bowen was looking youthful on offense. He followed his first-quarter dunk with a driving finger roll with the shot clock running down with 9:33 left in the second quarter. Bowen added an assist to Tim with 8:24 left and a jumper with 6:56 left in the half.
Barry drilled two more 3-pointers with 3:57 and 3:20 left in the half to put the Spurs up 56-37.
FIRST QUARTER: ROOKIES' GRAND ENTRANCE
The Spurs' rookies led the team out onto the floor before the game. The catch - the veterans stood and waited under the stands for about a minute - leaving the youngsters standing on the floor by themselves wondering what to do.
Manu Ginobili started again as the point guard. Ginobili as a starting point guard looks a lot like Ginobili as an off guard. He had eight points in the first six minutes of the game, hitting two 3-pointers and a driving basket. He also had one assist. The Spurs finished the first quarter with a 32-25 lead.
Barry showed his experience when he drilled his first shot, a 3-pointer. That made him 5 of 7 from 3-point range in the preseason.
The Spurs' young guards got involved early. Anthony Lever-Pedroza entered the game and almost immediately hit a jumper. He scored four points in less than a minute. Marcus Washington hit the floor later in the first quarter and drew a foul, made a free throw, and had an assist to Francisco Elson on a break.
PREGAME: GREEK FANS
A small but lively and loud group of five Panathinaikos fans was having fun in upper seats a little while before the game. They were all wearing green - their team's colors - and had a drum to help them make their presence known.
Kris Lang, Keith Langford, Anthony Lever-Pedroza and Darius Washington are all likely to see playing time at guard for the Spurs tonight. It is also possible that not one of them will wear a Spurs uniform in a regular-season game this year.
But odds are a few of them will eventually follow the trail of players like Devin Brown and eventually make their way back to the NBA somewhere down the line. Their few preseason games can be an important learning experience on the way to eventually making a living in the sports - even if they have to play in the Developmental League or overseasons to accomplish their goals.
Lang, Langford, Lever-Pedroza and Washington all played at least 10 minutes in the Spurs' first preseason game. With Tony Parker slowed by an injury and the Spurs' other veterans not in need of much preseason game time, the little-known Spurs players have the chance to gain more experience tonight.

yeah, the turnover rate was a problem for PANA in the Rockets game too. When they come over and play the NBA game the fouls and turnovers go through the roof because they don't get the NBA rules. It was like when team USA went to play the FIBA game and got scorched in 2006 by Greece. They need to practice more with NBA rules or play the FIBA rules. I would actually like to see how the Spurs and Rockets would have done playing by FIBA rules.
Not that I think Pana would win but would have been more entertaining.
