Their performance in these two games cannot be said to be anything less than outstanding.
Because even the Spurs players admit... the frenzy at Oracle Arena far exceeded their expectations.
However, the fact that the Warriors lost two consecutive games upon returning home is indisputable.
After the adjustments in the first two games, the Spurs seem to have truly found a way to beat the Warriors.
In the third battle, the Spurs maintained the starting lineup consisting of Duncan, Horry, Bowen, Finley, and Parker.
At the start, through tactics designed for Bowen, Horry, and Finley, the Spurs first opened the game with three-pointers.
At this point, Parker, who was gradually entering his peak, smoothly took over the remainder of the first quarter.
Davis has a model advantage over Parker, but facing Parker's elusive breakthroughs, he can only stop him through tactical fouls.
