Duncan scored 23 points (10-16 FG, 3-4 FT) and added 14 rebounds, two assists, three steals and four blocks in 36 minutes of action against the Jazz on Tuesday. Duncan had a Duncan game - scoring and playing defense. Owners should be excited to see Duncan play 36 minutes because coach Gregg Popovich has usually opted to play Duncan less in regular season games. Duncan is averaging 30 minutes a game this season. Nonetheless, Duncan continues to be effective with his role for the Spurs. He has played great of late and there is no reason to expect this trend to end - unless he plays two games in two nights, then you may see him play a reduced role in the second game, if he plays at all.
