Tim Duncan continued to do his part to help the Spurs Friday, totaling 26 points, 13 rebounds and a career-best nine blocks as San Antonio beat Memphis 112-96 in their final game at the AT&T Center before leaving for their annual rodeo trip.
"Tim's not going to get too vocal," Brent Barry said. "So to see these kind of games and effort from him should be a silent message to everybody that it's time to put some things together."

If the Spurs are going to emerge from their current funk in time to make a serious run at another title, they're going to do so with their current roster.
That, according to players, is what coach Gregg Popovich told the team after Wednesday's loss to Houston. The question now is whether that holds true.
"He made a statement last night that he wasn't trading anybody, that we were going to do it together, that this group of guys is going to do it as a team," Robert Horry said. "But you know how that is. I'm not saying he won't do that, but it's the nature of the business.
"If somebody came up and said, 'We'll give you Tracy McGrady,' he would be foolish not to do that."
