With 7 seconds remaining in the first overtime period, San Antonio’s Mike Gale hit the go ahead shot and the Spurs held on to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers 143 to 142 on Monday night. George “Iceman” Gervin lead all scorers with 37 points while Larry Kenon contributed 32.
Oh sorry, it’s those pesky flashbacks again.
But I have an excellent excuse. You see, Monday’s game was played exactly 42 years after the Spurs officially shelved the red, white and blue ball with a 121 to 118 upset of Dr. J and the Philadelphia 76ers in Philly.
