SAN ANTONIO (AP) Playing basketball seemed trivial to the Spurs following the death of Erin Popovich.
They competed as best they could Thursday night. It just wasn’t enough against Golden State, again.
Kevin Durant had 26 points, nine rebounds and six assists, and the Warriors beat San Antonio 110-97 for a 3-0 series lead over the Spurs, who were still reeling from the death of Gregg Popovich’s wife.
»It was a perfect setup for a letdown,» Golden State forward Draymond Green said. »I don’t say that to be insensitive at all to the situation. We all take this basketball stuff serious and we want to win, but when you start talking life and death, a game doesn’t matter. But yet we still wanted to come out and try to win the game.»
The Warriors can close the first-round series with a win Sunday afternoon in San Antonio in Game 4.
