For a game that was supposed to be more prelude than main event, the matchup between the Spurs and the Cavaliers sure was plenty dramatic. The Silver and Black managed to come back to get a 116-110 win on Manu Ginobili’s big night, but they had to fight for it down to the last seconds.
From the start it was clear that something was off about the Spurs. Maybe the players were still feeling the effects of the long minutes they logged in the painful loss to the Hornets on Tuesday or maybe they too were convinced that the event that mattered was coming after the actual game, but the energy was lacking.
