Stephen Curry's ankle rolled and the San Antonio Spurs walked away with an enormous win over the Golden State Warriors on the road Friday night, giving them the 2-1 series edge.
It was a combination of Tony Parker coming out of his shell and dominating for the first time in this series, Tiago Splitter's return to the starting lineup and San Antonio's ability to contest three-pointers while simultaneously keeping a firm hold on the paint.
Basically, the Spurs took a look at everything they did poorly in the first two games and instead decided to do those things well.
Game 4 will be the best possible opportunity for the Warriors to hang in the series, as a loss would put them into a two-game hole with a trip back to San Antonio on the docket.
It's not necessarily a must-win scenario, but losing would surely leave them in dire straits.
