Game 1: DET 69 @ SAS 84

_ Manu Ginobli's 26 Points Leads Spurs to Game 1 Win

Ginobli drew a technical foul out of big Ben Wallace that sparked a 19-4 run in the fourth quarter. Manu Manu the Slender's 9-10 performance in the second half was a shining point in one of the lowest scoring finals games in NBA history. I know I wasn't alone (because I was in the office with my coworkers watching) in thinking "35-37, that's a big score for the first quarter."
