Spurs record when leading going into the 4th Qtr

[Old School 44]

2. Also, gotta admit Parker's been beasting in the 4th quarters. That helps too.

5. Just random dumb luck that doesn't mean anything. (Answer Pop would most likely give.)

Agree, but it's probably Parker beasting in the 4th is number 1 and the Spurs overall depth number 2.

About 5. It's probably more like "Those 27 games we scored more points than them." - Pop

It's quite a wrong stat. Spurs are actually only 31-0 when leading after the 4th.

Actually, if the Spurs are leading at the end of the 4th, they have won the game...there is no overtime.

Some excellent points so far! Totally true about TP's performance this year. I'm sure it's a combination of factors.

I will also add that I believe the Spurs move the ball and the defense so well with their passing that with the crowded game schedule this year, teams get more tired in the 4th quarter. A deep Spurs team that shares the ball so well and makes the extra pass can beat tired legs. The old basketball physics principle that a pass beats feet every time is in play here.
