Shaq’s Power Moves
O’Neal’s two blocked shots made him the third player in NBA history to have 26,000 points, 11,500 rebounds and 2,500 blocks. The others are Kareem-Abdul Jabaar and Hakeem Olajuwon.The intense victory stemmed Phoenix’s slide in the standings, pulling them a game ahead of Dallas for the No. 6 spot in the West. Former Sun Kurt Thomas made an 18-footer to put the Spurs ahead 85-80 with 5:12 to play. A frustrated Suns coach Mike D’Antoni drew a technical moments later, but Ginobili missed the free throw in a sign of things too come. Nash’s 3-pointer cut it to 85-83 with 3:40 to play. A 24-second clock violation by San Antonio led to Stoudemire’s driving shot over Duncan that tied it at 85 with 2:58 left.
