• It was the tip-in heard all around Spurs fandom, but how did Antonio McDyess’ game winning tip-in against the Los Angeles Lakers fare on NBA.com’s Horry Scale?
3.5 Horrys. The shot itself was easy, but the game situation, conference implications and the fact that this is the Horry Scale, after all, and Big Shot Rob did in fact once play for the Spurs, earns this play 3.5 Horrys.
• Lakers’ Lamar Odom takes full blame for the Lakers’ loss to the Spurs last night:
