    As Tim Duncan strode forcefully into the lane for a running hook in the final seconds, Tony Parker could not help but be reminded of a couple of the greatest players the NBA has ever known.

    "It was a mix of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson, a kind of sky-hook, and we'll take it," Parker said of Duncan's 13-foot game winner over Hornets center Emeka Okafor with 1.4 seconds left.

    The shot capped a season-high 28-point performance by the Spurs' 15-year veteran star forward and sent New Orleans to an eighth straight loss, 104-102 on Monday night.
