Robinson comes up big for Spurs on night that Duncan fails to fire

David Robinson is rarely the key figure for the San Antonio Spurs these days, but he certainly filled that role against the Sacramento Kings.

Robinson scored six of his 26 points in overtime and also grabbed 15 rebounds as the Spurs defeated the Kings, 98-92 in Sacramento.

On a night when Tim Duncan missed 16-of-22 shots in a physical game, Robinson delivered the big points for the defending NBA champions.

Despite playing with five fouls, Robinson sent the game into overtime with a free throw, then scored six straight points in the extra session as the Spurs held off the Kings, who had won their three previous meetings.

'It's fun being in this situation as the go-to guy, but it's a little tougher when you're not used to it,' said Robinson, who also had three blocks and two steals.

'Tim was a little hurt tonight, so the rest of us had to step it up. This was a big win for us.' Bothered after aggravating a slight knee injury early in the game, Duncan still had 18 points and 13 rebounds for the Spurs, who outscored Sacramento 14-8 in overtime to win their third straight.
