In typical Ginobili fashion, he described the winning 17-foot jumper as "lucky." "I always try to get to the rim, but Foye took over my left pretty good, and my counter move is always step-back right," Ginobili said. "I got lucky there, took a good shot and it went in.

The Timberwolves were unable to make a basket in the remaining 6.2 seconds, and the Spurs gained a 100-99 road victory.
