The absence of Little Deng Liwei did not affect the Warriors' offensive firepower on this night.
Richardson made 5 out of 9 attempts in the first half, 4 out of 7 from the three-point line.
Artest hit 3 out of 7 in the first half, all from beyond the arc.
Also notable were Murphy, with 2 out of 4 from the three-point arc, and Davis, with 2 out of 3.
The Warriors hit a total of 11 three-pointers in the first half, almost piercing through the Spurs' defense.

As they entered the second half, Parker and Ginobili made successive attempts to assert themselves.
