A series that had been under-billed as an old-school slugfest took its true form midway through the fourth quarter of Game 4: that of a full-blown Dragonball-Z battle — fireballs, drama, sad ending and all.
Now with things moving back to San Antonio, a Game 5 that many thought would be the nail in the coffin might just be a must-win for the Good Guys.
The Spurs won the first two in more or less convincing fashion, but adjustments would seem necessary after Games 3 and 4. We saw Pop tease a bit of this on Saturday (Jonathon Simmons and Davis Bertans playing big minutes down the stretch of the fourth quarter), but his reliance on David Lee in overtime appeared to reverse that trend.
