"Even if Danny Green wanted to, he couldn't ignore the scope of his shooting futility over the past week.

The hecklers in his own Spurs locker room wouldn't let him.

"Trust me, I'm fully aware," Green said. "These guys keep me aware of how long it's been since I made a jumper. If I didn't know, they'd make sure I know."

Officially, it had been seven days between successful field goals for Green, the third-year guard who earned his second career start in Saturday's 103-89 victory at New Jersey.

It only seemed longer.

Green was 0 for 16 during that span, a mark that rose to 0 for 17 before he swished a 3-pointer from the right arc with 8:25 left in the second quarter at the Prudential Center."
