Ginobili led the Spurs with 32 points. He also had nine assists. Parker was far from the speedy dominator he was in the opener, but still produced 22 points and 10 assists.

Barry scored 22 and shot 8-of-12, including 4-of-7 on 3-pointers.

Tim Duncan, playing on his 30th birthday, had 14 points and 13 rebounds. He went about 19 minutes between baskets in the first half and was in foul trouble the rest of the game, although he never fouled out after getting his fifth with 9:38 left.

Wells made nine of 10 shots in the first half, putting in his only miss, and finished with 28 points and 12 rebounds. He fouled out with 17 seconds left in the fourth quarter.

Abdur-Rahim was 12-of-19 for 27 points with nine rebounds. Martin scored a career-high 26.

Sacramento came out intent on taking the ball to the rim and wound up getting 16 of its 22 first-half baskets in the paint and leading 56-51 at the break. San Antonio was only that close because it made eight 3-pointers.

The Spurs opened the third quarter with a 14-2 run and forced Sacramento to miss nine of its first 10 shots. San Antonio went up by 10 when Ginobili leaped to catch a deflected pass and threw a behind-the-back pass _ all in one motion _ to Finley for an open 3-pointer.

But Sacramento rallied again, tying the game at 82 going into the fourth quarter and refusing to collapse. For instance, a crowd-pleasing, go-ahead layup by Parker was immediately answered by a powerful dunk from Abdur-Rahim.

Notes:@ This was Robert Horry's 200th playoff game. ... Despite new rules that allow a 13-man roster with one inactive, Artest had to be among the 12 active players. ... Every game, players get fouled when not yet shooting, then throw the ball at the rim in hopes of getting a continuation call. Van Exel appeared to get away with it at the start of the second quarter, getting rewarded with three free throws because he was behind the 3-point line _ by several steps. He made all three.
