Barry scored 13 of his 15 points in the second quarter to lift the San Antonio Spurs to a 103-93 preseason victory over the Miami Heat. Tony Parker scored 17 points and Michael Finley added 15 for the Spurs, who shot 48 percent (35-of-73) from the field and held a 47-39 rebounding advantage. Barry, 34, has seen his role reduced with the Spurs and nearly was dealt at the trading deadline last season. But the former Slam Dunk champion made three 3-pointers in the second period, when the Spurs built a four-point lead to 55-39 at halftime. Bruce Bowen scored 12 points and Jackie Butler added 11 for San Antonio, which won despite just three points on 1-of-3 shooting by superstar Tim Duncan. Shaquille O'Neal scored 24 points and fellow superstar Dwyane Wade added 23 for the Heat, who shot under 37 percent (30-of-82), including 2-of-19 from the arc. </div> <a href="http://www.nba.com/games/20061021/MIASAS/recap.html" target="_blank"> Source</a>

Who knows, might be a shot thrown up from 3/4 court with a second left, have to check the game play by play log for that. Or maybe it's Shaq wanting to show the fans something else.
what happenned to shaq hating the new ball and saying how fiel goal % will go down dramaticly? i guess that theory has vanished..

EDIT: sorry, my bad. he was the league leader in fg% last season, but that was only at .600. i assumed that it would be higher, so being just above .500 isnt too bad for him. sorry.
