The Spurs again opted to intentionally foul Warriors center Andrew Bogut, a 50 percent free thrower during the regular season, during Game 4, but were only able to do so once. He made one of his two foul shots. When they tried to foul Bogut a second time late in the third period, the Warriors called time out before Parker could grab him. Bogut, who insists he has no problem with Popovich's use of the tactic, just smiled when asked if he enjoyed watching the Spurs miss 11 of their 25 free throws in Game 4, shooting a season-low 56 percent. “I don't think I'll go there,” he said, grinning.

Parker made only 6 of 17 shots and had only three assists in a 97-87 overtime loss that tied the best-of-7 series at two games apiece. Afterwards, he acknowledged that the sore calf affected his play. “I felt like I was limited a little bit, but nobody cares,” he said. “It's the playoffs. You have to keep playing. I just didn't have my normal lift for my jump shots and penetrate. Hopefully I'll keep doing my normal treatments and I'll feel better.” San Antonio Express-News

Parker, whose Spurs seized a 2-1 series lead in Game 3 on Friday night at Oracle Arena, told reporters after practice in San Francisco that he expects to play despite suffering a bruised left calf late in Game 3 when Warriors center Andrew Bogut inadvertently kicked him. He hobbled slowly out of the arena late Friday but on Saturday said he will play. "I just can't see myself not playing," Parker told reporters. "I'll definitely play." USA Today Sports

Parker said his left calf was “pretty bad” after being kicked at some point in the second half. He scored 32 points in the game, nearly outscoring Curry (16) and Klay Thompson (17) by himself as the Spurs won 102-92 to take a 2-1 lead. “I don’t know right now,” he said of his status for Game 3. “We’ll see. I’ll do treatment all night long. Right now it’s a good one. It’s pretty big. “So we’ll see how I feel tomorrow. Have no choice. Got to play on Sunday. It’s a quick turnaround. Try to do my best to do treatment and be ready by (2:30 p.m. Central).” San Antonio Express-News

While Manu Ginobili continued to struggle, Tim Duncan had 23 points and 10 rebounds and Tony Parker had 32 points on 13 of 23 shooting. The Spurs, who had trailed big in the first two games of the series, controlled the game throughout and finally slowed a Warriors offense that had scored 100-plus points in six of its last seven playoff games. Golden State shot just 39.3% from the field, and the dynamic backcourt of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson were held to a combined 12-for-37 from the field. "They outplayed us, they out-worked us and they were the aggressor," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said. USA Today Sports

Curry not only struggled on a 5-for-17 shooting night, but also turned his ailing left ankle in the fourth quarter. Curry, who had become the darling of these playoffs with his dynamic play, sprained the same ankle in the first round. "He missed shots," Jackson said while not giving any clear answers about the ankle. "Give them credit. They did a good job defensively. But he missed shots. It's a make-or-miss league." "I have faith in Steph," Thompson said. "Hopefully he's with us. He's our leader. He's our best player." USA Today Sports

Parker triggered the Spurs' Game 1 comeback, but only after Klay Thompson fouled out late. This time, he attacked from the start, scoring eight points in the first 41/2 minutes. "It wasn't our offense, it was our defense," Warriors guard Klay Thompson said. "Personally, I didn't do my job against Tony Parker." Contra Costa Times

Drew's contract runs out on June 30, and he's been informed the organization will start to talk with other candidates. While it's almost assured that Drew has coached his final game in Atlanta, there's a small possibility the Hawks could miss out on several of their top targets and return to Drew, sources said. The Hawks' shortlist includes San Antonio Spurs assistant Mike Budenholzer and CSKA Moscow assistant Quin Snyder, sources said. Yahoo! Sports
