Golden State Warriors, San Antonio Spurs, Tony Parker 

Like Duncan on Monday, Parker toed the company line on a late possession where Golden State kept the ball even after it deflected off Golden State center Andrew Bogut. (For those of you who don’t read Mike Monroe’s dispatch on our new pay site, Express-News.com, an NBA spokesman acknowledged the missed call yesterday but said the play was not reviewable by rule.) Said Parker: “It’s OK. Stuff’s going to happen. I know the referees try to do the best job they can to make the right call. We didn’t lose the game right there.” San Antonio Express-News

“We’ll see how I feel tonight,” Parker said. “I was doing treatment. I came early and did some treatment. That’s all I can do, is do treatment. Especially in the fourth quarter, I missed some easy (shots). It was short a little bit. Didn’t have the same lift. But nobody cares. We lost the game, and now we have to focus on Game 5. That’s all we have to care about.” San Antonio Express-News

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

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

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

“I have to make jump shots,” Parker said. “They’re going to leave me open. I’m going to get 20 shots, Timmy (Duncan) is going to get 20 shots. That’s what they’re giving us, a little like the Lakers." San Antonio Express-News

“Pop told me if I have to shoot 25 times, I have to shoot 25 times,” Parker said. “Same things for Timmy.” San Antonio Express-News
