Tim Duncan played 29 minutes, hit 9-of-17 shots and finished with 22 points and 12 rebounds in Saturday's win over the Jazz.
Gregg Popovich did it again, as all signs were pointing to him giving his old guys a rest tonight. The Spurs were playing their fourth game in five nights and were on the second of a back-to-back, not to mention they were playing a Jazz team that isn't that good. But in typical Pop fashion, he decided to roll out his studs and rack up his fourth straight win, while the Spurs have now scored at least 100 points in eight straight games. The old guys are due for a random DNP, but because it didn't happen tonight, there's no way to predict when they might be coming. And Duncan quietly had his third straight double-double in the process.
