San Antonio, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Manu Ginobili erupted for 31 points -- 25
of which came in the second half -- to carry the San Antonio Spurs past the
Orlando Magic, 98-74, at AT&T Center.
Ginobili was a blistering 6-of-9 from beyond-the-arc and dished out five
assists for the Spurs, who have won seven in a row. Tim Duncan posted a
double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds while Michael Finley dropped in
12 points off the bench.
Hedo Turkoglu was 7-of-8 from the field en route to a 22-point night for
Orlando, which has dropped six of its last seven. Jameer Nelson contributed 18
points, seven rebounds and four assists in a losing effort.
The Spurs finished the first quarter on a 9-2 run to go ahead 22-16, and
pushed the advantage to 43-33 at intermission.
Orlando made a charge in the third quarter, cutting the deficit to six with
4:35 to play after a pair of free throws by Nelson. Ginobili, though, banged
in a pair of threes with time winding down to give him 16 points in the frame
and the Spurs a 65-57 lead.
Ginobili wasn't done. He scored nine points in the opening 2:40 of the fourth
to head a 13-3 run and push the San Antonio advantage to 78-60.
After converting a three-point play, Ginobili followed a pair of Jacque Vaughn
free throws with a long trey to make it 75-59. On the ensuing possession,
Ginobili hit a driving layup, was fouled, and drained the ensuing shot from
the stripe to complete the surge and bring the home crowd to its feet.
The Spurs cruised the rest of the way, and Ginobili earned an early exit.
Game Notes
Orlando's Grant Hill, who left a loss to Denver on Wednesday with a sore left
foot, did not play in this one. Forward Tony Battie, meanwhile, missed his
11th straight game because of a fractured right thumb...The Magic are just
10-20 on the road this season...Orlando has lost 13 of its last 15 at San
Antonio.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
