NBA News - High-Fi Performance From MANU & DELFINO

Minnesota Timberwolves 91 San Antonio Spurs 106

San Antonio has learned to maximize Manu GINOBILI's impact by making him a substitute after having started for much of his career.


This is the very definition of the Spurs, who have dominated the league with four titles in the last eight years by finding the right role for every player.

GINOBILI scored a season-high 31 points with 7-for-9 shooting from 3-point range, and the Spurs stormed past the fledgling Minnesota Timberwolves for a 106-91 victory on Friday night, closing the game with a staggering 40-11 run. GINOBILI was also 11-for-16 from the field. Apart from that he also posted 3 rebounds, 4 assists & 3 steals.
"Today, I was really good with that shot,'' said GINOBILI, who is the only player in the NBA averaging more than 18 points and less than 30 minutes per game. "They made a decision to double Tim, and so that's where I had open shots. I've always been working on my 3-point shot, especially to make them come hard and then use my penetration.''

Fabricio OBERTO also had a good game as he posted 8 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists & 1 steal.


Cleveland Cavaliers 82 Toronto Raptors 91

The ever improving Carlos DELFINO set a career high 24 points plus 8 rebounds & 1 assist, as the Toronto Raptors won their third straight with a 91-82 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
DELFINO and the Raptors manage to fill in star void that left by Le Bron JAMES and Daniel GIBSON, both were out because of injury. He made his first six field goals and didn't miss until he was blocked by Drew GOODEN at 1:04 of the second quarter.

Another night that Carlitos has proven that he is made for the NBA.
