There was a definite extra bounce in the steps of the Spurs.
Manu was defenitely his usual getting 4 treys in the 1st half.
I'd say that the Spurs still have their backs against the wall in game 4.
If they don't come up with a win, the Lakers can close it out at home (where are the Spurs have been atrocious).
Yeah, they played like a defending champ should. Getting those early blows, but getting back up to punch some of its own. They may be called floppers, but Pop has taught them how not to make excuses. Ginobili never made an excuse for his game 1 and 2 blunders.
Its a refreshing trend, unlike the Big Cactus from Arizona, who always find an excuse for every loss his team takes.
Classic Line: "we just need more time to blend together". He said that from the time he got traded from up to they were ousted by the Spurs.
