However, despite being hammered for half a quarter, the Spurs did not collapse. By the final quarter, Ginobili, alongside Conley, Richard Jefferson, Matt Bonner, and Duncan, led a strong counterattack!
Guy was the Spurs' scoring king, with an explosively high efficiency, mainly using long-range shots and fast-break attacks, yet still maintaining over a 50% shooting rate.
But the true backbone of the Spurs remains the Magic Knife and the Stone Buddha.
Under Ginobili's lead, in the final quarter of regular time, the Spurs scored 34 to 26 in a single quarter, bringing the score to 115 to 116, narrowing the gap to 1 point!
At the crucial moment, Zhang Yang stepped up, posted up high against Guy, turned around for a fadeaway jumper, and scored, also drawing a foul!
