Saying Tim Duncan was impressive against the Atlanta Hawks would be an understatement. The future Hall-of-Famer scored 17 points, grabbed 13 rebounds, and added four assists, three steals, and six blocks. For reference, that’s the first time since 1985-1986 that any player over 35 his finished with that stat line. If you are looking for something to lower the greatness of Duncan’s performance, you can look at his 5-of-12 shooting from the floor. That isn’t enough for us to give Tim Duncan anything less than an A+ though, especially when you throw in the fact Duncan and Popovich won their 900th game together, the most all-time in player-coach combo history.. PF. San Antonio Spurs. TIM DUNCAN. A+
