Spurs drop Pivotal game 4

The Los Angeles Clippers rebounded from the drubbing they took at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs in Game 3 with a 114-105 win in the Alamo City.  The Clippers shot 53% from the field for the game.

The Spurs are looking to rebound tomorrow night and get another win in LA before heading back here for game 6.  Winning on the road is something Popovich led Spurs teams are used to doing.

“We have won there before,” said Spurs forward Tim Duncan.  “We know how to win on the road. We have some stuff we can clean up easily, so we have to do that and by ready for their best shot.”

And their best shot is what the Spurs expect the Clippers to deliver early in Game 6.

“Game 5 is big, obviously,” Duncan said, “but it’s not over until you get the fourth game.”

Spurs ready to close out Round Two on the Road

After a 118-103 victory Saturday night, a heart shot to the Portland Trailblazers, the San Antonio Spurs are preparing to sweep and move back home to wait for the winners of the Oklahoma Thunder/LA Clippers match up.  That series is currently tied at two games apiece and Spurs fans hope that it goes all seven games.  The closeout game is the hardest in the NBA Playoffs and  Tony Parker, who is averaging 26.3 per game this series, knows it will take all the Spurs effort to put the Blazers away.

“The close-out is always the hardest game,” Parker said.  “We know Portland is going to come out and play with a lot of motivation. They (the Blazers) have nothing to lose. I’m sure they want to win a game in front of their hometown. We’re going to have to match their energy, but it would be great to get it and get a rest.”

The Blazers know that they will have to perform at a higher level if they want to stretch this series out any but fighting from behind is something they cannot do if they expect to win.

“It’s the same story, We kept digging ourselves a hole,” Portland point guard Wesley Matthews said.

“You dig a hole and then fight back and give yourself a chance, and they have an answer,” Portland guard Damian Lillard said.

If the Blazers pull off a victory tonight, Game Five is scheduled for Wednesday May 14th.  Great seats and cheap tickets will be available here so get yours soon!
