What a win. I'm glad Mason saved our asses at the end. Tim was absolutely beastly and Fin had another great scoring night. He is on a tear right now and it could not have come at a better time.
The team played well, everyone got in on the scoring (minus Oberto) and they are really gelling at times now. The defense is there finally, and I think the Spurs are gonna be just fine.
oh yeah, TIM IS AN ABSOLUTE BEAST!!!!

Manu was the first one off the bench when Mason hit that three...
love this team
Great game by Duncan and Mason.
He's young, and he has stud written all over him. I'm excited with the way he plays, but it'll get worse before it gets better. That's what happens with young players. Pop will continue to give him burn and this experience is going to be great for him, particularly when he's needed, starting about March.
Spurs pull another one out!
KT + Mahinmi hopefully. Won't see minutes around 30 until Parker and Manu return.
Kobe would have elbowed MasonManu was the first one off the bench when Mason hit that three...
love this team
That's his name, please wear it out.
Actually, I'm less likely to erase it now that I know the outcome. I watched the first half and the Browns' defense is so disgusting I didn't know if I could watch anymore. I came in here to get away from it. My wife asked me why they're just standing around.Oopsy!
We held the Clippers at 19% three-point shooting.
Spurs D is back baby!
Thank you Mason for bailing out what would have been an epic choke job.
.500!!!! never thought id be so happy to be .500 hahaha
Spurs 8-20 from three. Solid 40%.
A little worried that we only shot 6 free throws. Refs only called 9 fouls on the Clippers. WTF?
With some of those plays and those inbounds passes, it looked like the TMac game, didn't it?
The refs weren't calling anything this entire game.
Judging from listening to the Clip announcers you'd wonder the opposite.
The refs let them play tonight.
I'm not gonna lie, I screamed after Mason hit his 3, that was tight!!!
Why does pop always have FInley inbound the ball????
That's what it looked likeTell me you saw Ricky Davis mouth "Come on, " right before Mason drove right and sunk the three. Watch it again anyone with DVR.
Hey Ric, Skinner's goatee is just a little more goofy looking than your hair!
One and a half games out of the division lead.
