SAN ANTONIO -- Manu Ginobili flipped his palms up towards the ceiling and shrugged at the suggestion the San Antonio Spurs might feel sympathy for the banged up Golden State Warriors.
"Nobody does when we have injuries," he said.
Taking advantage of a depleted squad missing its three biggest stars in Stephen Curry (right ankle), Kevin Durant (ribs), and Klay Thompson (fractured thumb), San Antonio (41-30) fought off a late Warriors rally with a 20-4 fourth-quarter run to capture a needed 89-75 win to move into fifth in the Western Conference standings, while Golden State (53-18) lost yet another stalwart in Draymond Green, who suffered a pelvic contusion in the second quarter and didn't return.
