The 2017 NBA Playoffs continues Tuesday with Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
For Spurs fans, there will be three main storylines coming out of this series.
“Experience helps for sure”, Curry said.
“Everybody had to step up their game tonight especially with one of our brothers down”, Smart said. “You can contribute in any way you can, and we’ll worry about the future in the future'”.
He boasted that the Warriors are playing in a far more sophisticated fashion than the rest of the league.
Mills’ stock may have dropped after the Warriors’ defensively targeted him in the series.
Not just on the gas pedal. Ceaselessly interesting as a player in ways many of his cookie-cutter competitors weren’t, the left-hander became an early summer entertainment fixture in his 213 playoff games that saw him average 14.4 points. They also paid tribute to Warriors Stephen Curry when he left the game with 2:25 remaining.
San Antonio’s only lead came on the opening possession when Manu Ginobili tossed in a left-handed scoop shot. I ended feeling better than the way I started.
Durant went for 29 points on just 13 shots, hitting every mid-range he took.
Ginobili responded with 15 points, seven assists and some vintage moments as the crowd chanted “Manu, Manu” throughout the night. You were better than us.’ The easiest thing to do. It is hard, in other words, to make the case that San Antonio would have won the series even with Kawhi Leonard and Tony Parker. We’re not done. We got to go back and get some of what kind of feels taken from us previous year. You can swing, sing, swing.
How much redemption you feel is on the mind? We did our best. The contest took place at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas. The Warriors will meet the victor of the Eastern Conference finals matchup between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics. It is the third year in a row that the Golden State Warriors are Western Conference Champions.
The Warriors jumped up early on the wounded Spurs, squashed every mini rally and ran away with an unthreatened 129-115 win to vanquish another overwhelmed opponent, completing a third straight sweep to become the first team in National Basketball Association history to start the postseason 12-0. The Warriors eased out to a 31-19 first quarter lead, bumping them up to a plus-57 in Game 4 first quarters this postseason. We just kept grinding.
They did so without giving in to their occasional predilection for easing up on the throttle.
“We all know, obviously, who we’re going to play”, Curry said.
There is no question the two teams have bad blood towards one another, and quotes like this add fire to the already fierce modern-day rivalry. In this league, this stuff is hard to come by, so we definitely want to enjoy it.
Get ready, yes. Lock in, no.
