San Antonio (34-47), missing arguably five of its top six rotation pieces was able to hang with Golden State for a massive portion of the opening and closing periods before succumbing to the more veteran squad and two-way masterclass in sublime brilliance taught by Draymond Green throughout the middle periods. The Spurs appeared to be done in by poor outside shooting and lack of familiarity with each other until, beginning with the end of the third and for much of the final quarter, the remnant Spurs made several runs at the more experienced Warriors - rousing the AT&T Center faithful to a frenzied crescendo in the process.
