By ARNIE STAPLETON, AP DENVER - Robert Horry did it again. “Big Shot Rob” hit a 3-pointer from the right corner with 30 seconds left to seal SanAntonio‘s 96-89 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Monday night that gave the Spurs a 3-1 lead in the first-round series.
The Nuggets, who blew a 10-point second-half lead, had pulled to 90-89 on Steve Blake‘s jumper which looked like a 3 but his toe was on the line. Tony Parker of the Spurs took the inbounds pass following a timeout, penetrated the lane and kicked out to Horry all alone in the right corner.
It was just the second basket of the night for Horry, who makes the most of his minutes. He also hit a big shot in the Spurs‘ win in Game 3 at the Pepsi Center.
Carmelo Anthony led the Nuggets with 29 points and Allen Iverson had 22, although he had another poor shooting performance — 9-for-25. Camby had 10 points and 17 rebounds and Nene had 18 points.
