It was yet another close game that came down to the final seconds for San Antonio, a familiar sight for fans at this point. Unlike Monday’s heatbreaking loss to the Pacers, however, the Spurs prevailed against the Hornets in the second game of a back-to-back and escaped Charlotte with a 104-103 win.
Dejounte Murray led all players with 21 points for the night while Tim Duncan filled the role of acting head coach, as Gregg Popovich was away tending to personal business. Terry Rozier paced the Hornets with 20 points of his own, but botched the last play, which could have given his team the win.
