    Manu Ginobili snapped to life Monday night, just in time to all
    but kill the Utah Jazz's chances in the Western Conference finals.
    Ginobili scored 16 of his 22 points in the decisive fourth quarter,
    when the Spurs outplayed and outexecuted the Jazz en route to a 91-79
    victory that gives them a 3-1 stranglehold on the best-of-seven series.

    After scoring 12 points in 4-for-12 shooting during the Jazz's 109-83
    win in Game 3, Ginobili was on his way to another subpar performance.
    He had only six points through three quarters, when he admittedly did
    little to "get into their skin."

    But that all changed with the game on the line, in the fourth quarter,
    which began with the Spurs clinging to a 63-62 lead.

    "At that point, it was getting really tough for us," said Ginobili,
    who made 11 of his 13 free throws in the final 11:15. "They had a nice
    streak. Fans were going nuts and they looked inspired.

    "I don't remember what happened exactly that kept us going, but I am
    very proud of what we did in the fourth quarter because it was looking
    ugly for us and we really stepped up."

    Ginobili scored six points in the first 2:45 of the final quarter,
    including a three-pointer that pushed San Antonio's lead to 70-66.

    Utah never got closer.

    "Manu was very aggressive in the fourth quarter and got himself a couple
    of open shots and free throws," said coach Gregg Popovich. "His
    aggressiveness always helps us at the offense end."

    Ginobili won his game-within-a-game against Jazz veteran Derek Fisher,
    who ended up fouling out trying to keep him away from the basket. Fisher
    was also called for his second technical after his sixth foul.

    "I don't know why he got upset," Ginobili said. "I don't recall doing
    anything for that to happen. But, you know, if it helps the team win
    and gets a couple of easy free throws, I'm going to do it."

    San Antonio scored only 13 points in the third quarter, including four
    in the final seven minutes. The Spurs watched an 11-point lead shrink
    to just one, thanks mostly to 6-for-20 shooting.

    "We didn't score much in the third quarter," Popovich said. "I don't
    remember exactly what it was . . . [but] we needed to score in the
    fourth and [Ginobili] helped us do that."

    San Antonio can close out Utah in Game 5 on Wednesday night.
    "The mentality has got to be the same - exactly the same as the one
    today," Ginobili said. "It was not - what we did in Game 3 was not
    right. It was not the appropriate fear that we should have had. But
    today we did."
