The San Antonio Spurs beat the New Orleans Hornets, 81-72, to win on the road in Game 7 of their NBA playoff series. It was only the third win by a road win in 25 conference semifinal games. The star of the game was the uber-hot Manu Ginobli (right), who had 26 points for the Spurs.
San Antonio now heads to Los Angeles to meet the Lakers in the conference finals. The Lakers will be favored, but the Spurs are the defending champs and they won’t go down easily. My pick: Lakers in 7, with Laker center Pau Gasol being the difference. In the Eastern finals, I will take Detroit over Boston in 6. The Celtics have looked rather average in beating woeful Atlanta in seven games in Round 1 and hanging on over Cleveland in seven in Round 2. –Jim Buzinski

It’s what they do best at the end of the day. That’s what made them champions for four times over the last 10 years.
No can argue on that. The team is attached together through good, bad or even worse. They play the game like it is. Many would have thought, they might crumble under pressure in NO (like the previous 3 games) but look how did they turned otherwise.
I would also like to take my hats off to the Hornets. I do believe they’re time is just around corner and they will be the next dynasty in the NBA.
I would love to hear your thoughts about the game. Certainly any comments will be highly appreciated….
