| Excerpt from San Antonio Express-News article about how Richard Jefferson sparked a fourth-quarter rally
Richard Jefferson finished with 10 points, six of them during the Spurs’ furious fourth-quarter rally. His final basket came on a reverse dunk that brought the Spurs within 93-89 with 7:24 to go. “Sometimes, you look for anything to get the intensity up,” Spurs guard Roger Mason Jr. said. “That play got everybody riled up.” Early on, it seemed no fourth-quarter comeback would be necessary. The Spurs took a 49-37 second-quarter lead with 3:59 remaining, then finished the half 0 for 7 from the field and 1 for 5 from the foul line. By the end of another third-quarter Spurs meltdown, the Pacers (9-16) led 83-70. |
