229. The Battle of Tianwangshan Part 1

The Bobcats won again!

Seeing the report, many fans who thought the finals were already a foregone conclusion were truly annoyed that they hadn't witnessed the Spurs losing!

Opening the report and seeing Duncan's 30 attempts for 16 field goals plus 18 free throws for 10 points and a playoff career-high of 42 points, fans knew without reading the details how the Spurs probably lost.

If his teammates couldn't score, Duncan had no choice but to hammer away to tally high points, resulting in a team loss... This had been one of the common ways the Spurs lost over the past decade, and in the playoffs, whenever Duncan faced such a predicament, they pretty much always lost.

Before this game, Duncan had scored over 40 points three times.

The first time was during the '01 Western Conference Finals, when the OK duo was too powerful and Duncan's 41 points still led to a Spurs loss.
