News & Notes Spurs Back on Track
- Dirk Nowitzki‘s 26 points and J.J. Barea‘s 22 points aren’t enough to fend off Carmelo Anthony’s season-high 43 points and the Denver Nuggets.
- San Antonio 111-98 L.A. Clippers: In his 2nd game back, Manu Ginobili hits for 14 points, 7 assists, and 3 steals in just 17 minutes. The Clips are good medicine for the ego. Tony Parker scores ONLY 18 points in the game; it’s the first game that Parker hasn’t reached 20 points in the last 11 games.

- Terrence William’s Around the Back Rebound: WHOA. Sweet around the back rebound by Louisville’s Terrence Williams; he grabbed it, began to turn around midair, took the ball around the back before landing and going upcourt to start the fastbreak… Earl Clark finished the play with a three-pointer. Check out the 1:02 mark of the Louisville-Arizona video highlights.
- BACK/FORTH: Utah Jazz send rookie Kostas Koufos to Utah Flash/NBDL and recall Ukrainian center Kyrylo Fesenko for the umpteenth time.
