Hawks-Spurs Preview

While the slumping San Antonio Spurs are tied for the Western Conference lead, they may have to continue their quest for the No. 1 seed without their All-Star point guard.

Tony Parker is unlikely to be available Saturday night as the Spurs go for a 15th consecutive home win over the Atlanta Hawks.

After sitting out Wednesday's 98-84 win over Orlando due to a sore left ankle, Parker returned the following night in a crucial matchup at Oklahoma City. Parker, though, finished with two points on 1-of-6 shooting before leaving with a shin injury in a 100-88 loss.

"It looked like he had no energy to start the game and then as he went, he looked to me like he was limping," coach Gregg Popovich said. "We saw him coming across halfcourt actually limping one time, and that's when we pulled him and I said to him, 'Tony, you got to stop.'"

Losers in three of four, the Spurs, who also continue to play without the injured Manu Ginobili (strained hamstring), are tied with the Thunder for first place in the West. Oklahoma City holds the tiebreaker.

"Obviously, Tony's down, Manu's down, so it's a concern, especially in this part of the season," said Tim Duncan, averaging 22.2 points and 11.9 rebounds over his last 10 games. "But it's part of the game, so we've got to play through it."

While Parker's absence could prove costly, the team wants to make sure he's back to full strength come playoff time. Parker, averaging team highs of 20.6 points and 7.5 assists, is one of just three players averaging at least 20.0 and 7.0 per game.

"I'm not going to talk about all my stuff. I've got a lot of stuff going on, but I just have to get healthy," said Parker, who also missed eight games in early March with left ankle troubles.

"I'll just talk with the medical staff and talk with Pop and try to make the best decision and make sure I'm 100 percent and healthy for the playoffs, because that's the most important thing."

The Spurs now turn their attention to Atlanta (42-35), which has been outscored by an average of 18.6 points during its skid in San Antonio. The Hawks have also dropped 11 of 12 in the series overall, including four straight.

Parker had 23 points and 12 assists in the Spurs' 98-93 win at Atlanta on Jan. 19.

The Hawks are coming off Friday's 101-90 loss to Philadelphia. Josh Smith had 19 points and Al Horford added 18 and 10 rebounds, but Atlanta was never really in it after getting outscored 40-26 in the first quarter.

"How you can come out and play like that when the game has that type of meaning is beyond me," coach Larry Drew said.

While they have already clinched a playoff berth, the Hawks dropped one game behind Chicago for fifth place in the East.

"Going back to training camp ... we've had to be a team that is gritty, a blue-collar team, particularly on the defensive end," Drew told the league's official website. "Somewhere along the line, we have forgotten who we are. ... I'm very concerned about the mentality of our team."

The Hawks, who have lost three straight road games against West opponents, have also dropped four of their last five road games when playing the second of back-to-backs.

Duncan leads short-handed Spurs over Hawks, 99-97

Posted Apr 07 2013 12:52AM

SAN ANTONIO (AP) Tim Duncan is enjoying a renaissance in his 16th NBA season. The San Antonio Spurs All-Star just calls it a case of experience trumping youth.

"I'm old, but I'm slow," he said. "So I think I trick people into kind of coming into a certain territory and I've gotten a couple (of blocked shots)."

Whatever Duncan is doing, San Antonio is immensely grateful because once again he saved them.

Duncan had 31 points, 14 rebounds and four blocks to help the short-handed San Antonio Spurs escape with a 99-97 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night.

Kawhi Leonard added 23 points and DeJuan Blair had 11 for San Antonio, which clinched the Southwest Division title for the third straight year and 19th time in franchise history.

The Spurs were without Tony Parker (neck) and Manu Ginobili (hamstring strain), who sat out the game with injuries. They also lost Boris Diaw, who left midway through the second quarter with back spasms.

Still, San Antonio struggled against an Atlanta team that opted to sit four of its top-five scorers in the second game of a back-to-back.

"Well, Tim Duncan saved us," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "He's such a professional. We're so lucky to have him here for as long as we have. He's an ultimate professional and he rose above a lot to do it.

Rookies John Jenkins (23 points) and Mike Scott (22) had career highs to lead Atlanta, which has lost three straight. Ivan Johnson added 14 points, Shelvin Mack had 12, and Johan Petro had 11 points and 15 rebounds.

San Antonio was 3 for 15 on 3 pointers, but still managed to win its 15th straight at home against Atlanta.

The Spurs needed a late rebound to seal the victory.

Dahntay Jones was awarded three free throws after Cory Joseph stepped in front of him as he attempted to heave a 3-pointer with 1 second left. Jones purposely missed the third after making the first two free throws to pull Atlanta within 99-97, but Leonard grabbed the rebound to prevent a game-tying tip-in.

"We're not in a great rhythm right now," Duncan said. "Honestly, the injuries are hurting us right now. We lost some close ones for a little while and that can push you over the top or that can set you back a little bit. We've been set back a little bit, but we won the game, that's the good part."

Hawks coach Larry Drew elected not to play Al Horford, Kyle Korver, Josh Smith and Devin Harris in the second game of a back-to-back.

Not that they would receive any sympathy from the Spurs.

Parker left two minutes into the fourth quarter of San Antonio's 100-88 loss at the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night after experiencing pain in his left shin. Popovich was "very concerned" about Parker's injury, saying he believed it could be tendinitis, but team officials said his absence Saturday was due to his neck.

Ginobili missed his fifth straight game after straining his right hamstring in the first quarter of San Antonio's 104-102 home victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on March 29.

Nando De Colo, a 25-year-old rookie from France, had six points, seven rebounds and three assists while playing 22 minutes in his fifth career start.

Duncan played limited minutes early, but finished with 32 as the Spurs needed him down the stretch.

"In general, other than Timmy, in a lot of ways it was a pathetic performance," Popovich said. "That kind of play isn't going to get us very far at the end of the season. It's not the first time we've played like that in the last few weeks. This team needs to get its head around itself and understand what it takes to be there, because as a group, they don't have it right now."

Duncan was limited to eight minutes in the first quarter, grabbing five rebounds and scoring four points on 3-for-5 shooting. He did not re-enter until 7 minutes remained in the half, but had an immediate impact. Duncan had 12 points, three rebounds, three blocks and two assists as the Spurs closed the half on a 22-12 run.

With Horford sitting, 6-foot-8 forward Ivan Johnson primarily guarded Duncan.

"He was up pressuring, but Tim is still Tim," Drew said. "Tim's still good. He's as good as they are in the low post. He takes his time and he is very, very patient with what he wants to do down in the post. He's still a terrific player."

Leonard drove the length of the court in 3.3 seconds for a layup to give San Antonio a 51-40 lead at the break.

NOTES: Horford did not play due to a coach's decision. He had 18 points and 10 rebounds in 39 minutes during the Hawks' 101-90 loss to Philadelphia on Friday. ... San Antonio C Aron Baynes was assigned to the team's developmental league team, the Austin Toros, on Friday. ... Harris (sore left foot), C Zaza Pachulia (sore right Achilles) and G Lou Williams (torn ACL, right knee) missed the game with injuries.

Notebook: Spurs 99, Hawks 97

Andrew McNeill, for NBA.com
Posted Sun Apr 07, 2013 12:24 AM - Updated Sun Apr 07, 2013 12:24 AM

THE FACTS: Tim Duncan scored 31 points on 12-for-21 shooting, grabbed 14 rebounds and blocked four shots as the Spurs nearly saw a very late four-point lead evaporate after Atlanta's Dahntay Jones drew a shooting foul from around halfcourt with one second left in the game after a Tiago Splitter turnover. After Jones hit the first two free throws, Kawhi Leonard grabbed the rebound on the third to secure the 99-97 win.

John Jenkins came off the bench to lead Atlanta with 23 points on 7-for-9 shooting and Mike Scott added 22 points and six rebounds.

QUOTABLE: "Tim Duncan saved us. He's such a professional. We're so lucky to have him here for as long as we have. He's an ultimate professional and he rose above a lot to do it. We had some guys that haven't played much that busted their butts. In general, other than Timmy, in a lot of ways it was a pathetic performance."
-- Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich

THE STAT: Duncan and Leonard combined for 54 of San Antonio's 99 points, but DeJuan Blair (11 points) was the only other Spur to crack double figures.

TURNING POINT: When the Atlanta Hawks went into the game without Josh Smith, Al Horford, Devin Harris and Kyle Korver, it was a safe bet they'd have some trouble with the Spurs. Atlanta's limited roster made a game of it, but the lack of firepower hurt them against San Antonio.

QUOTABLE II: "I wasn't expecting to have many minutes, but I knew we were kind of depleted, so I was ready for the challenge. I started hitting a couple of shots and guys found me for open buckets. I was kind of feeling it throughout the night."
-- John Jenkins

HOT: San Antonio outrebounded Atlanta 49-38 and limited the Hawks to just seven second chance points.

NOT: The Spurs hit just 3-for-15 3-pointers (20 percent) against the Hawks.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: Duncan had 31 points, 14 rebounds, four blocked shots and three assists. Leonard had 23 points, six rebounds, four assists, two steals, two blocks and a made 3-pointer. For the Hawks, Jenkins contributed 23 points, four rebounds and four assists. Scott had 22 points and six rebounds.

ROOKIE WATCH: Jenkins had 23 points, four rebounds and four assists against San Antonio. Nando De Colo started for the Spurs and scored six points, grabbed seven rebounds and handed out three assists.

NOTABLE: Matt Bonner had a career-high four blocks for the Spurs.

UP NEXT: For the Hawks, Wednesday @ Philadelphia, Friday vs. Milwaukee, Tuesday vs. Toronto. For the Spurs, Wednesday @ Denver, Thursday vs. Sacramento, Sunday @ L.A. Lakers.
