Sprewell, Warriors slay Spurs, 106-101
The Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — Latrell
Sprewell scored 26 points and had
two key steals in the final two
minutes Tuesday night, carrying
the Golden State Warriors to a
106-101 victory that snapped the
San Antonio Spurs’ six-game win
ning streak.
Sprewell tied the game at 100
after a steal with 1:53 left and later
scored again to give the Warriors
the lead for good.
After Willie Anderson’s foul
shot with 1:3 2 left made it 102-
101, Sprewell’s steal set up a layup
by Avery Johnson that iced the vic
tory.
The Spurs committed five
turnovers in their final seven pos
sessions.
Golden State hit 75 percent of
its fourth-quarter shots and hit 56
percent from the field for the
game.
David Robinson scored 20 of
his 29 points in the second half for
the Spurs. Anderson added 1 6
points for San Antonio.

The Aggies ended the pitcher’s
duel in the bottom of the seventh.
John Curl started the inning off
with a single off Bearkat pitcher,
Jamey DeBruin. Chad Alexander,
who came in to pinch run for
Curl was moved to second on a
Billy Harlan sacrifice.
After a Shawn Alvarez walk,
Chad Allen grounded a hit and
run ball to short moving the run
ners to second and third. Petru
followed with the game-winning
hit off DeBruin, whose record
dropped to 3-3.
‘T knew we were going to have
to get a hit there,” Petru said. “I
was hoping I could put the ball in
play and make something happen.
I was lucky enough to get it to go
through.”
Allen came in to earn the save
striking two out and using an out
standing play by reserve outfield
er, David Minor. With one on and
two outs in the ninth inning, the
Bearkats’ Derrick Almada hit a ball
into the right-center gap. Minor
cut off the line drive and threw
out Almada who was trying take
second base on the play.
The Aggies, who raised their
record to 22-16, will continue

girls,” Joel said. "I used to say,
Hey Corey, is that the girl you said
you liked?’ Before I knew it, he
started answering, 'No, that’s the
girl you said you liked.’”
Joel and Toby said they want
Corey to learn from their mistakes
and take advantage of his talent.
Scott was not available for an inter
view because he is moving, but his
brothers said he probably agrees.
Corey said he was not as talent
ed as his siblings, whom Corey
said had bad luck. Toby had an ac
cident that ended his baseball ca
reer, and Scott’s college football ca
reer ended when he blew out his
knee. Joel quit sports to dedicate
his life to his child.
As a matter of fact, Corey thinks
there are a lot of athletes with
more talent.
“God is going to give you the
talent,” he said. ‘There are a lot of
people with more talent, but I had
the guidance and support of my
family.
“It is not the talent that God
gives you, it’s what you do with
that talent that makes you better
than everyone.”
Toby laughed at Corey’s assess
ment of the Pullig talent pool.
“I find that kind of funny,”
Toby said. “He is the hardest
worker in the family. And if it
came down to it, we probably had
more talent, but he had the level
head in the family.
“He has been able to learn from
seeing his brothers waste their tal
ent. Fie has been good about
learning from his brothers’ mis
takes.”
If Corey forgets about his sib
lings’ lost opportunities, Toby and
Joel said they will make sure to re
mind him.
“I always try to tell him to work
hard and realize that he is not go
ing to get a second chance,” Toby
said. “If I look back at my career, I
would have worked harder.
“And I want him to learn from
what I didn’t do. I want him to
know that there is always going to
be somebody out there working,
so he might as well be working
harder.”
No matter what the Pullig men
do, mother Lynda will be there to
chronicle and lead her sons’ ca
reers in a “God fearing way.”
“She is always at the games,”
Corey said. “And she knows all of
our stats. We call her the ‘Guru’
because she can tell you all the
stats.”
Corey, who goes home every
weekend during the off season,
says he goes home because of the
girlfriend he has there and the
strong ties his family has with
their church.
Toby said his mom’s dedication
to her sons and church has helped
their family remain a tight knit
group.,
“It’s funny,” he said. “She
keeps the scrapbook and can recite
every one of our stats. Ask the
‘Guru’ anything about us, and she
will he able to answer your ques
tion.
“But she always made sure we
were a God fearing family. She al
ways took all of us to church,
whether we wanted to go or not.
That is the biggest effect of my
life, and I am sure it is the biggest
effect on Corey’s.”
