SAN ANTONIO (Ticker) -- A wild third quarter gave the San Antonio Spurs a 103-91 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night at the AT&T Center. With less than seven seconds left in the third, Brent Barry hit a 3-pointer, stole the inbounds pass and hit another 3-pointer with 1.4 seconds remaining that gave the Spurs a 76-66 lead. He then turned to the crowd, pointed his fingers to the sky and screamed. The Lakers, who were outscored, 31-12, in the period, had no answer. "Just to get the crowd fired up and have that kind of run and get some emotion back in this team and this building, we need those sorts of things. We need to play like that all the time," Barry said. "I was really having some fun." Spurs center Tim Duncan said a lot of players stepped up in the second half. "Brent was great. It's great having him on the floor. He's a leader," said Duncan, who finished with 28 points and 17 rebounds.
