Ginobili paces Spurs over LakersBasketball Betting Lines04/04/2010 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Manu Ginobili scored 17 of his 32 points in the fourth quarter as the San Antonio Spurs beat the Los Angeles Lakers 100-81, at Staples Center. Tim Duncan added 24 points and 11 rebounds as the Spurs won their third straight contest to move a half-game ahead of idle Portland for the seventh playoff spot in the Western Conference. They are a half-game behind Oklahoma City for sixth with six games left. "It was a good win for us against the best team in the West," said Spurs coach Gregg Popovich. "Manu has been playing All-Star basketball for the last month and a half now. Manu has kept us together." But the Spurs, who have secured a 13th straight playoff berth, were dealt a blow as George Hill left the game in the first half with a sprained right ankle and did not return. Pau Gasol scored a season-high 32 points and had seven rebounds and six assists for the Lakers, who fell for the third time in four games and the first time at home in eight contests. Kobe Bryant chipped in 22, eight boards and six assists in defeat as the Lakers handed over home-court advantage throughout the playoffs to Cleveland with the loss. "We were flat from the middle of the second on," said Lakers coach Phil Jackson. "They took away a lot of passing lanes and we got out of rhythm. It was unfortunate for us that we couldn't get the bench going." Both teams shot at least 50 percent in the opening quarter as the Lakers led 24-22. But the Spurs heated up in the second, outscoring LA 26-16 to take a 48-40 halftime lead. The Spurs re-gained the lead at 29-26 after a Keith Bogans triple and pushed the edge to eight as Ginobili came up with the steal off Bryant and drove for the dunk with under a minute left in the opening half. San Antonio widened the margin to 15 at 59-44 after a Jefferson running dunk, but a pair of Gasol free throws trimmed the edge to 67-59 after three quarters. In the fourth, the Lakers stormed back to get within two on a Gasol putback with 8:39 to go, but the Spurs rallied for a 13-1 run to lead at 87-72 with five minutes left. Ginobili capped off the stretch with one of his two three- pointers. Game Notes Luke Walton played nearly eight minutes in his first game back for the Lakers since February 10 after recovering from a pinched nerve...San Antonio won for the first time in five tries at the Lakers...The season series was tied 2-2...Richard Jefferson added 14 points and six rebounds for the Spurs...Lamar Odom added nine points and 13 boards for the Lakers.

With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship. One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup.
