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

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
