With a free throw with 4:54 remaining in the fourth quarter of Wednesday’s 101-95 overtime victory over the Rockets, Spurs captain Tim Duncan passed former Boston Celtics great Larry Bird and moved into 27th place on the NBA’s all-time scoring list with 21,792 points.

Duncan finished the game with 17 points and now has 21,798 points.

Typically, he was utterly unaware he had even been approaching Bird’s mark.

“Really?” he said. “Wow. How’d I do that?”
