#2 The Spurs' role players came to play
Gone AWOL nearly all season long, Danny Green, a reigning All-Defensive 2nd team selection came to play on the night. He stoutly contested Klay Thompson, who he was reassigned to from Kevin Durant and did a much better defensive job on. Thompson, an All-Star, ended up with only 12 points on 4-of-16 shooting.
Dejounte Murray played with heart and aggression and knocked down open 3-pointers when he had the chance. He finished with 12 points on 8 shots, scoring on three out of his four 3-point attempts.

Tony Parker, who was mostly relegated to first-half minutes, had an impact as well. He scored 9 points in 16 minutes or so off the bench, while Kyle Anderson shot 4-of-4 from the field and finished with 10.
