Wow, GSW rallied pa pala to beat SAS. Grabe, I've always looked up to SAS as a team very good at protecting leads. Anyare? What's with the melt down? Gotta watch this game again. Looks like GSW has indeed arrived.
Simply put, GSW's great shooting trumped SAS's great defense ....... the last 3-4 minutes, GSW hardly missed ..... that Klay jumper to beat the shotclock was killer.
The SPURS has been a long-standing dynasty, but the years that they didn't make it to the Finals, it's almost always they had been matched-up with a faster team.
Teams that keep's the SPURS on their heels defensively, usually give them the most problems during playoffs ....... grind-em out half-court teams, the SPURS can usually handle.
Credit to Popovich for recognizing this, by stacking up with athletic-tweeners the past few years e.g. Leonard, Green, Blair, etc.

I'd still favor the SPURS in this series though ...... GSW's youth still cracks with TO's when the games get tight.
