(Manu) Ginobili continues to serve as undisputed maestro of a Spurs bench that remains among the league’s best, ranking third in scoring (41.6 points per game) and first in assists (11.6).

“I think my role has changed the last couple years,” said Ginobili, who averaged 19.7 points during his Sixth Man of the Year campaign of five seasons ago. “I started taking way less shots, and playing less minutes, since we are so deep. I don’t mind it.”
