Dragic Comes Off Bench to Break Spurs

Filed under: Spurs, Suns, NBA Playoffs

SAN ANTONIO -- It's happened plenty of times before in NBA locker rooms. A player engages in a mock interview with a teammate who just had a big game.



There was one big difference Friday night at the AT&T Center. Phoenix reserve guard Goran Dragic (right) actually answered the questions from Jared Dudley as if it had been a regular interview.



Hey, when you have a game like Dragic did, you might as well milk it for everything it's worth.



After Dragic stunningly scored all 26 of his points in the final 13 minutes of Phoenix's 110-96 win over San Antonio, Dudley held his camera phone up before Dragic and said, "We are live with the star of the game, Goran Jordan. What's going on, baby? Hey, Goran, take us through that fourth quarter. How big did the basket look out there?''



Dragic, a second-year man from Slovenia, did take Dudley through it. Why not? It's a game he'll be talking about for years anyway, one that enabled the Suns to take a 3-0 lead in a West semifinal.



In fact, they figure to be talking about this game for years to come in NBA history.
