Game Story

SAN ANTONIO (Ticker) -- Tim Duncan scored 29 points and 
matched a career high with 23 rebounds and Bruce Bowen added a
career-best 21 points as the San Antonio Spurs posted a 99-94
overtime win over the New Orleans Hornets.

Trailing 92-91 a minute into the extra period, the Spurs took
the lead on a short jumper by David Robinson.  After Duncan and
Hornets' forward Jamal Mashburn traded baskets, Duncan fired a
cross-court pass to Bowen, who sank a 3-pointer from the right
baseline for a 98-94 cushion.

"I know my role," Bowen said.  "I know what I'm supposed to do.
I'm a defensive guy.  I had some wide-open shots and they fell.
Once I had the confidence, they just fell."

"It was a fantastic game for us," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich
added.  "You had two fantastic basketball teams who went after
each other.  I'm just happy to be on the good end tonight.  It
was a heck of a game."

Malik Rose collected 19 points and seven rebounds and Robinson
contributed 10 and eight for the Spurs, who equaled a season
high with their fourth straight win.

David Wesley scored 20 points and Baron Davis added 18 on
5-of-18 shooting for the Hornets, who wrapped up a 3-4 road
trip.

San Antonio shot 47.5 percent (38-of-80) from the field and
outrebounded the Hornets, 49-43, in posting its sixth win in
seven games and moving a season-high eight games over .500.

"This is a great win," Duncan said.  "In the second and third
quarter, we kind of let them back into it a little, but we kept
our composure.  We knew they were a tough team headed into this
one and we were surprised that we were able to get up 10 early
on them."

The Spurs led by as many as 16 points but found themselves tied
at 86-86 after Davis made two free throws with 3:23 remaining.
Neither team managed to score until Robinson sank a pair from
the line with 46 seconds left, but Mashburn answered with a
15-footer from the right wing.

After Duncan went around Robert Traylor for an emphatic baseline
dunk with 17 seconds left in regulation, Mashburn answered four
seconds later with a difficult 16-foot turnaround.

Mashburn netted 16 points and P.J. Brown, who fouled out in the
final minute of regulation, added 14, but the Hornets shot a
woeful 37 percent (35-of-94) from the floor.

The Spurs turned a five-point advantage into a double-digit lead
with a 16-5 run that spanned the first two quarters. Rose had
six points in the spurt, including a basket with 9:21 left for a
39-23 advantage.

The Hornets closed within 53-45 at halftime and took a slim lead
late in the third quarter.  Two free throws by Mashburn with
9:29 to go in the fourth gave Charlotte its last lead at 78-77.

"I think that we did a really great job of just keeping in the
game, and the character of my team is incredible," Hornets coach
Paul Silas said.  "The character of the group, especially to
hang in this ballgame with the type of road trip we had, says a
lot."

"If we got into a better rhythm in the first half, we might have
come out of here with a win," Mashburn added.  "But I think the
toughness we showed in the second half got us back in the game,
and I am proud of the way that our guys played."
