One night after his step-back jumper beat Milwaukee, Manu Ginobili's defense handed the San Antonio Spurs a 113-112 win over the Denver Nuggets. Ginobili sparked the Spurs to a nine-point lead in the fourth quarter and drew the foul that negated Carmelo Anthony's winning basket in San Antonio's escape Thursday night. "I knew Carmelo was going to attack the rim," Ginobili said. "We were not going to let him take that open shot. Antonio [McDyess] made him a driver, and I was in the right position. It's my job to be there and try to draw a charge. When he jumped, I knew I was going to get it because I was right outside the circle. "I definitely didn't want to make any doubts for the refs. A guy that explosive, it's hard to stop and pull up. I knew I was right out of the circle and he got me right in the chest." Read more: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=301216007
It's been great to see Manu healthy and doing his thing again. I always thought his style was a joy to watch.
