The San Antonio Spurs’ Tony Parker, generally viewed as the league’s current teardrop master, insisted that he came up with the shot as a child. “I got copyrights on that,” he said. “I did that because I was small and it was the only way I could get a shot off on the bigs. I grew a little bit later.” The Warriors, making a surprising run in the playoffs, may have the strongest link to the teardrop. The team is coached by Mark Jackson, a former point guard who popularized the shot in the 1990s. He recently called it a “tremendous weapon,” and he has watched his star player, Curry, use it effectively. New York Times

They’re here. They’re not going away, even if it very much seemed like it just one game ago. That’s when they kicked away a 16-point lead in the final minutes of regulation in a Game 1 loss. And then in Game 2, the Warriors held strong, held on and maybe showed that they’re a little bit better than the San Antonio Spurs. “I think for seven-and-a-half quarters, we’ve played better basketball than (the Spurs) have,” Stephen Curry said as he accepted congratulations walking to the team bus. “So you want more to show for it. But I think the fact that we came back from that collapse and got this win, it makes up for that feeling.” San Jose Mercury-News

Never mind that the Spurs’ 129-127, double-overtime victory over Golden State on Monday made NBA history. Grabbing almost as much attention was a female fan who punctuated every big play — and there were a lot of them — with an ear-splitting shriek that came through ever so loud and painfully clear on the TNT broadcast. That led to a movement that was one half witch hunt, one half short-attention span theater: Who is Screaming Spurs Fan? We can all relax. A tireless effort by the fourth estate has identified the culprit…as one of at least three separate women. They are: * Val Garcia, who spoke yesterday with KENS 5. * Vicki Villarreal, who spoke yesterday with WOAI. * Lori Aguilar, who spoke yesterday with 1300 AM The Zone in Austin. Which begs the question: Why on Earth would somebody want to take credit for being a national pariah? San Antonio Express-News

Indeed, Tim Duncan was on the court for a grand total of six seconds as the Spurs fought back in Monday’s Game 1 from a 16-point deficit in the final four minutes of regulation before stunning Golden State in double overtime. Not because he didn’t want to play. But because he simply had nothing left after the intestinal bug that forced him to skip practice last Saturday reared its head as the game wore on. “Rough night last night, getting over this sickness,” Duncan said. “It kind of caught up to me later in the game. But probably the best thing for the team was me was going out." San Antonio Express-News

The Spurs did something no team has ever done by rallying from 16 points down with four minutes or fewer remaining in regulation to win an NBA playoff game. Indeed, according to Las Vegas insider RJ Bell via the Elias Sports Bureau, teams had been 0-392 under those circumstances heading into last night’s game. San Antonio Express-News

Or remain on the canvas, woozy and confused. Because the Warriors’ 129-27 double-overtime loss to the Spurs felt like an entire series, an entire season–maybe an entire multitude of lifetimes. “It’s not easy,” rookie forward Draymond Green said. “But we’ve got to refocus. “It’s going to be tough, but we’re going to try not to let this one carry over to Game 2 (on Wednesday). “Try to do the things we did well tonight and correct our mistakes.” San Jose Mercury-News
