MIAMI - Tim Duncan offered a rare acknowledgement: Hes thinking about the end of his career. Cheap Jordans For Sale Wholesale . No, the San Antonio star didnt announce retirement plans during an off day at the NBA Finals on Wednesday. But a player who has almost always declined the chance to discuss his own legacy after 17 seasons in the NBA — all with the Spurs — Duncan provided a glimpse of whats going through his mind as his career is clearly much closer to the end than the beginning. "I think in the last couple years Ive really kind of taken a step back and stopped and enjoyed what the journey means," Duncan said on the eve of Game 4 of these NBA Finals against the Miami Heat, a series that the Spurs lead 2-1. "I think, as it comes to a close on my career — and I know it is — I appreciate it more." The 38-year-old Duncan has been superb so far in this series, averaging 17.7 points on nearly 65 per cent shooting from the floor. If the Spurs win the championship, it would be Duncans fifth crown. Only 13 players in NBA history have ever been part of more championship series than that. And if Spurs coach Gregg Popovich knows Duncans exit plans — this year, next year, or otherwise — hes not tipping his hand. "It will probably be the third quarter of some game on the road some year, and hell feel like hes not as significant and hell walk into the locker room," Popovich said earlier in this series. Before the start of this rematch finals against Miami, Duncan — who has an option for next season at just over $10 million, an absolute bargain by NBA standards for someone at his level of production — said hes not thinking about retirement and doesnt even "care about any of that stuff." On Wednesday, he acknowledged that hes savoring these finals, since nothing about the future is ever guaranteed. "I appreciate every game more," Duncan said. "I appreciate every accomplishment, and everything that we get to go through and every experience, knowing that it might be the last time I do it."

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- For the first five innings, the Los Angeles Angels barely had a chance against Detroits Drew Smyly. After that, the Angels put together just enough offence and more than enough quality relief pitching to secure another gritty win. Efren Navarro and Kole Calhoun drove in runs in the sixth, and the Angels overcame Smylys 11-strikeout effort for a 2-1 victory Friday night. Navarro had two hits after replacing Josh Hamilton in the fourth inning as the Angels earned their majors-leading 36th home victory by beating the majors best road team. Yet even Navarro wondered whether the Angels could break through against Smyly, who struck out six straight at one point. "He was making his pitches, working on the outer part of the plate," said Navarro, who drove in Calhoun for the go-ahead run and chased Smyly with a two-out single. "But on that last pitch, he made his pitch, and I was able to do something with it." Miguel Cabrera homered and Smyly (6-9) had his career-high in strikeouts for the Tigers, who have lost seven of eight in Anaheim. After Detroits pitchers combined for 14 strikeouts in Thursdays series opener, Smyly struck out eight of the Angels first 10 hitters. The left-hander overwhelmed Los Angeles until the sixth, retiring his first 13 batters and striking out nine different Angels. "Ten out of the first nine hitters struck out, something like that," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said with a grin. "He had great stuff. For us to match him pitch for pitch, that was something." Everything changed abruptly with consecutive, one-out doubles by Chris Iannetta and Calhoun, followed by Navarros go-ahead RBI after the Tigers intentionally walked Albert Pujols to get to Los Angeles reserve outfielder. "I felt great pretty much the whole game," Smyly said. "I was executing all of my pitches pretty good, and they were the sharpest theyve been in a while, so I felt really confident. ... They have a really good lineup, so I knew I had to stay focused every inning because there wasnt much room for error. For me, its a good start to build off of." Tyler Skaggs yielded five hits in 5 2-3 resourceful innings for the Angels, who have won 14 of 19. Cheap Jordan China Wholesale.

Mike Morin (3-3) struck out Torii Hunter with the bases loaded to end the sixth inning. Huston Street pitched the ninth for his second save in three appearances for the Angels, wrapping up an all-around encouraging effort for Scioscias club. "Those (relievers) had tough hitters in every inning, and they did a terrific job," Scioscia said. Skaggs struggled much more than Smyly, needing 43 pitches to get through the first two innings alone, but still struck out five. "His fastball is his best pitch, and his curveball is really good, too," Hunter said. "That was my first time facing him -- I think everybodys first time facing him -- and he did a great job." Cabrera connected for his 16th homer leading off the fourth inning, putting his second shot in three days into the stands in right field. Los Angeles didnt get a ball out of the infield until Mike Trouts one-out fly ball to right in the fourth. The Tigers chased Skaggs with consecutive, two-out singles in the sixth. Detroit then loaded the bases when David Freese botched Martinezs soft grounder to third, but Morin fanned Hunter to end it. Hamilton left the game with soreness in his left knee and was replaced by Navarro in left field. The former AL MVP grounded out weakly in his only at-bat, and he failed to make a play on J.D.
