After last night’s 103-84 victory, in which Kobe Bryant was held to 30 points (you know you’re good when you’re “held” to “just” 30 points), the San Antonio Spurs breathe new life and, given a victory in Game 4, can actually make this thing a series again.

Tim Duncan scored 22 points for the Spurs, but the most important contribution came from Manu Ginobli (30 points), who had been nothing more than a ghost his first two games. In just 31 minutes of play, Manu came off the bench to provide them with a quick spark, going 5-7 from beyond the arch and leading the Spurs to victory. Game 4 is tomorrow night in San Antonio.
