Leonard Sits, Ginobili Gets Hurt, Spurs Lose

Season 51, Game 45
San Antonio 99, Atlanta Hawks 102
29-16, 4th in the West

In what has become a disturbing trend, I am here to recap another Spurs loss against one of the worst teams in the NBA.

San Antonio followed up on its ugly, ugly loss to the Lakers with a resounding win against the Denver Nuggets. And in this road matchup with the Hawks, the Spurs came out firing. You never want to call a game in the first quarter (Even against a team tied for the worst record in the NBA), but the beginning of this game had all the makings of a blowout.

It was the block heard around the world.

With seconds to play in overtime Tuesday night, 39-year-old future Hall-of-Famer Manu Ginobili blocked 27-year-old James Harden and the San Antonio Spurs held on to beat the Houston Rockets 110-107.

Let that sink in for a second.

And then think about this: James Harden “was 9-years-old when the Spurs drafted Ginobili with the second-to-last pick of the 1999 NBA draft – or 34 picks after Devean George.”

You’ll find 5 great photos of the block and the moments that followed on USA Today Sports.
