Jack Twyman’s family filed out of his room in hospice care, but he asked Jay Twyman to stay behind.
He wanted to watch the game with his son.
It was Game 2 of the 2012 Western Conference Finals, and the Spurs were playing the Thunder. Jack spent much of the game talking about Tim Duncan. He marveled at the way Duncan moved, and told son how impressed he was by Duncan on and off the court.
“He was in awe of Tim Duncan,” Jay Twyman said. “It was the last game we watched together.”
Twyman passed away the next day at the age of 78.
