NBA - Tim Duncan Alley-Oop Dunk

Tim Duncan hardly looked like a 37-year old last night recording 26 points and 9 rebounds. Two of those points came on an alley-oop dunk in the 1st quarter. He became the 8th 37-year old with an alley-oop dunk in the last 15 postseasons.

Spurs Blow Out Lakers

From Elias: The Spurs won Game 3 of their series with the Lakers by 31 points at the Staples Center, 120-89. That was the largest margin of defeat for the Lakers in any postseason home game in team history, including their years in Minneapolis. And since 1970, they've had only one regular-season home loss by 30 or more points, a 108-72 defeat at the hands of the Mavericks in 2007. San Antonio won Game 1 by 12 points and Game 2 by 11 points. The Lakers have lost three straight games by a double-digit margin in only one other postseason. The Lakers lost games 2-4 by 10 or more points against Phoenix in a first-round series in 1970, but they came back to win the series in seven games and advance all the way to the NBA Finals, where they lost to the Knicks. Tim Duncan made 12 of 16 field goals in the Spurs win on Friday (75%), his highest shooting percentage in any of the 35 postseason games in which he's made at least 12 field goals.
