Tim Duncan got hot early and finished with 19 points, 11 rebounds and zero blocks in 24 minutes on Saturday.
Manu Ginobili had seven points in 21 minutes, and Tony Parker added 14 points, four rebounds and five assists in 21 minutes for the Spurs. They were up 35-13 after the first quarter, so Gregg Popovich was comfortable limiting their minutes, yet again. The Spurs have five games next week and are only a game back of OKC for the No. 1 seed in the West, but that's still not a guarantee that he'll give the Big 3 heavy minutes. Start them at your own risk, and beware that they go back-to-back on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Sunday and Monday, and then again on Wednesday and Thursday to finish up the season. What a mess.
