"Fabs" Oberto snapped down a team high 8 rebounds to go with 8 points in 21 minutes to help the Spurs and especially Tim Dunkar get back on track against the hapless Hawks. Just as importantly Oberto manned the Center position for a spell in giving the Spurs frontline including Dunkar and Nazr Mohammed some needed rest.
"He was Chamberlin-like" said GM Jerry West after watching tape of the game, "Fabs Haters are clueless."
Al Harrington returned from a 1st qrt coma (9-12, made 1st 5 shots including back to back Threebies) to go 1-10 in the second half.
Tim Dunkan recovered from his one game ballhogfest vs Washington to go 11-14.
