The key to the Spurs win: Energy and Effort

Tony Parker: "Our energy was good. We got the 50-50 ball [and] that was huge for us tonight. It was a tough turnaround for us in game 4. We missed an opportunity at the end and we realize that. Tonight we played for 48 minutes."


David Lee played 12 minutes for the Warriors, but was not able to the spark to get the offense going. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson were a combined 6-22 from the floor, for only 13 points. Andrew Bogut, who has had a standout series before game 5, took only 2 shots the entire game.

The Warriors and head coach Mark Jackson are not worried about facing elimination at home. "It got to a point where they had made plays and I had to look towards game 6," said Jackson.
