05/19/2012 17:51 Duncan, Spurs stay calm in comeback for 3-0 lead over Clippers
LOS ANGELES -- Not even a 24-point lead is safe against the dominant San Antonio Spurs, especially when the feast-or-famine Clippers are on the other end of it. The Spurs remained undefeated in the playoffs -- and since April 11 -- by storming back from two-dozen points down in the second quarter and beating the Clippers 96-86 to take a 3-0 series lead.
Gary Neal showed some promise as a rookie, averaging nearly 10 points per game despite averaging less than 22 minutes per contest. A solid shooter with good range, Neal could become a mid-teens scorer under the right circumstances. However, playing time will be limited behind Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker. However, in deeper leagues he does make for a good handcuff option for either player. In category leagues, owners can count on Neal to be helpful across the shooting categories. (Updated 8/28/11)
