END RESULT

Two times, the Pacers got the stop they needed in the closing seconds against the Spurs. Two times, they were foiled by Tim Duncan's offensive rebounding.

Danny Granger's 3-pointer cut the San Antonio lead to 90-87 with 30 seconds left but they never got the ball back as Duncan tapped out two missed shots, the second just before the buzzer expired, to preserve the Spurs' victory before 14,947 Wednesday in Conseco Fieldhouse.

When the teams met in San Antonio on Dec. 19, Roy Hibbert blocked Duncan's shot but the veteran grabbed the rebound and dunked to give the Spurs a 100-99 victory.

IMPACT

The Pacers put forth a noble effort, particularly on defense, but emerged with their third straight loss and sixth in eight games to fall to 18-35 overall, 12-15 at home. It was their sixth straight loss to the Spurs, who improved to 31-21 overall, 12-11 on the road.
