Duncan forced his way under the basket. Trapped between Chandler and Nowitzki, he was completely unfazed. He faked with a jab step, then used a drop step to slip through the gap and sink a layup.
On the sideline, Skiles had lost the composure he'd shown in the second quarter. He paced back and forth anxiously, arms crossed.

The Spurs had resorted to their last trick.

This was actually a very powerful strategy!
Two years ago, back when they were the Five-star Phoenix Suns, this very strategy from the Spurs had given them a tough time.
When he was unleashed like this, he'd score 30 points at a minimum, and 40 wasn't out of the question.
It was just that the Suns' lineup back then was too stacked. No matter how strong Duncan was, the Suns could handle it.
