Spurs lose 121-124 in Overtime at homeRecap: A nice game to end this series...and season. 25 lead changes.....14 times tied...overtime needed!! Unfortunately we didn't have enough to get to a game 7. We were up 22 at one point, but a terrible 3rdQ made this a barn burner down the stretch. Hornets has 41asts..they are a great passing team. Kemp should be series MVP.....the rookie Camby couldn't guard him...and veteran PJBrown didn't fair much better. Kemp elevated as well in the biggest game....scoring 33pts and 17rebs. Hornets front court wasn't contained by anyone this post-season. The Spurs starters had to go long minutes, and BJ seemed to be out of gas the last two games....which is understandable. Given just a 3pt loss...maybe we coulda gotten a win here if we had Gary Trent available...but injuries are a part of this post-season. We were on the lucky side of each series and opponent injuries. Also, imo the Sacramento Kings would've rolled through the West if healthy.....so we were lucky to be here. Petrovic 28pts 3rebs 3asts BJArmstrong 22pts 6rebs 8asts 1blk 1stl Mills 21pts 6rebs 1ast 1stl Bowen 13pts 6rebs 8asts 4blks 1stl Camby 12pts 12rebs 3blks 2asts 1stl PJBrown 8pts 11rebs 2blks 3asts Congrats to the Hornets!! They lost Terrell Brandon to FA...but did not sit on their heels...and brought in Strickland in a trade, which I feel they can hang their trophy on the GM making that trade! Well Done! (Dikembe in my top five favorites all time, so happy to see him get a title)
Shawn Kemp should be one of the hottest FAs next season...plus Charles Shackleford proved in post-season he is worthy of more than a min-sal deal...he was key contributor.**Not so fun fact: BJArmstrong has played in 5 GAH finals......and is 0-5!
As for the Spurs....next year improvements all hinge on whether Ralph Sampson comes back for another year....and brings his $15m contract. If so, we have no cap space to try and improve. Thanks Manu for running the season! ljw SAS

Wow, what a series! And similar to the Hawks series, I felt like these games could have easily gone either way.
Shawn Kemp saved his best for last as he has been amazing for us all year, but my hat goes off to the Spurs who put together the type of team that I didn’t really know how to game plan against due to their dynamic backcourt duo.
Our reserves played some key roles this offseason with Shack leading the way all season and Elliot Perry and Jerome Lane playing heavy minutes as well. Mutombo’s defense was great all series but we wouldn’t have been able to hold our own without Strickland providing a steady hand both offensively and defensively this year.
Great series yet again San Antonio!
We have a big offseason ahead of us and hopefully don’t lose another big name like we did last year since I’m not sure how many more tricks I have up my sleeve.
