"Manu Ginobili's a bad boy," Cavs coach Mike Brown said.
CLEVELAND (AP) -- Manu Ginobili is planning a trip to Las Vegas during this weekend's NBA All-Star break. Alert the roulette wheels, blackjack tables and pit bosses.
Watch out. This guy's on a serious roll.
Ginobili made a career-high eight 3-pointers and scored a season-high 46 points as the San Antonio Spurs, back on the floor where they won the NBA title last season, beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 112-105 on Wednesday night.
Knocking down shots from every corner of the floor, Ginobili made 4-of-4 3-pointers and scored 18 points in the fourth quarter to rally the Spurs, who began the final period down by four.
"I'm just happy he's on my team," Tim Duncan said. "He's unbelievable when he gets rolling like that. The funny part is, I've seen him do it before."
Following Ginobili's hot hand, the Spurs went 7-of-8 on 3s and shot a blistering 78 percent (14-of-18) in the final 12 minutes.
After James misfired on a 3, Ginobili drained his fourth 3 of the quarter to make it 103-95 with 3:10 left, a shot that drew gasps from the sellout crowd.
"It was unbelievable," James said. "There's nothing you can do when a guy get hot like that. He shot step-back 3s. He shot pull-up 3s. It was a great performance by Manu."
Ginobili is indeed a "bad boy," and should have been selected for the 2008 NBA All-Star game. Straight ballin'.

Anderson Varejao is Sideshow Bob
This is Anderson Varejao. It would be more realistic if he were acting and flopping as if he had gotten fouled. Sorry Sideshow, you are going to lose to the Spurs and come to the realization that you are one of the biggest scrubs in the NBA. Go back to Brazil where supposedly you were a superstar. OWNED!
Thanks to Robert for this pic
TIM DUNCAN IS GOOD AT BASKETBALL
Wow... a Spur is actually on the front of SI... the most underrated superstar in modern NBA history, Tim Duncan. I am sorry, I know Lebron is the man and has given the NBA an extreme boost going into the finals because all of the sheep / tool NBA fans want to see the face of the league do well and win a title, but getting through the Eastern Conference is a cake walk. I know the Pistons are a very good team, but they were just horrible in the series with the Cavs and didn't show any playoff experience.
The story will be different when the Cavs face a real team in Tim Duncan and the San Antonio Spurs, who have beaten the Denver Nuggets, Phoenix Suns, and Utah Jazz to get to the finals. All of these teams would probably be the NBA Finals if they were if the Eastern Conference. There is no way, and I mean no way, that the Cleveland Cavaliers would be the finals if they were in the West. The Spurs experience, talent, and physicality will prevail over the one-man show in the Cavs.
THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL BE OWNED BY THE SAN ANTONIO SPURS.
