OAKLAND, Calif. – Just like it was against the Rockets in the second round, the pace battle will be at the forefront of the Spurs’ West finals showdown with the Warriors.
“Make or miss, we want to get out there and go,” acting Golden State coach Mike Brown said. “We played a lot of guys during the whole season, so none of our guys should be tired. Our guys should be excited about pushing the ball on every possession, and they should be more than capable of doing it because we play a lot of bodies. San Antonio is a formidable opponent and their defensive transition is really good, but it doesn’t matter, we still want to push the tempo.
