    Tim Duncan had just made two free throws when he heard the word "congratulations" from a San Antonio teammate.

    "It took me a second to catch on," Duncan admitted Friday night after the Spurs' 94-82 win over the Utah Jazz.

    After scoring point No. 20,791 to set the Spurs' career record, the star forward can be forgiven for the momentary mental lapse.

    "I'm just happy for him," Spurs coach George Popovich said of Duncan, who now has 20,797, seven more than David Robinson scored in 14 NBA seasons. "You know he is the driving force behind our championships and for him to have the record now with games played and points is appropriate."

    Duncan, who eclipsed the scoring mark with 5:28 left in the third quarter, also became the Spurs' career leader in games played with 988 -- one more than Robinson.
