Hooped Up

Tim Duncan scored 27 points, 19 in the first half, to lead San Antonio to a 90-72 victory over the slumping Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night.

“I thought Timmy was very focused tonight,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “He was very aggressive with the ball. He wasn’t looking for other people and worrying about getting other people involved. He just was demonstrative offensively.”

The Spurs, who have clinched a playoff spot, snapped a two-game losing streak that came after they had won a season-high 13 in a row.
