The Spurs and Mavericks series has got fiery. Coming on a monster game from Tim Duncan (36 points on over 50% shooting, 12 rebounds)San Antonio tries to climb back into the series as they face elimination down 3-2. The intensity escalated between the two Western conference contenders Thursday night as Jason Terry and Michael Finley were involved in an altercation.
Going for a loose ball on the floor, Finley reaches down in attempt to gain possession while Terry, sprawled on the court after being knocked down by another player throws a punch to Finley. During the live televised game this footage was not seen. Afterwards through an extended slow replay the NBA saw what actually occurred during the scuffle. The Spurs' Finley was obviously mad about the incident, but officials didn't know about what until later. As a result, Jason Terry got suspended for Game 6 in Dallas.
The two key players for San Antonio in the series are Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili. Without strong performances from them the
Spurs chances of surviving to force a Game 7 are slim. I think the Mavs have a little more firepower from the offensive end, but like most tight playoff series it will all come down to defense.
