Upset Specials: Lakers, Spurs Lose

The Spurs were in a dogfight from the word go. It seemed at times that the Spurs were going to take over, Zach Randolph & Marc Gasol wouldn't let them. Tim Duncan looked like he was 10 years younger in the first half but seemed much older in the second half. With about a minute left, the Spurs had a chance for the lead but Tony Parker took a bad shot instead of getting it to Duncan for a sure 2 and lost 101-98. The Hornets went into the Staples Center today with no one giving them any chance at all. That has now changed. Chris Paul would hear none of it. The Hornets led from start to finish with Paul scoring 33 points and dishing out 14 assists upsetting the Lakers 109-100.
