In Game 3, I noticed the Hornets, primarily Chris Paul, took an early demanding lead over the defending champs on their home court ina pivotal Game 3. Yet the Spurs went on to score 56 in the second half to put the Hornets away for good and make it a series. That is a championship team. Tim Duncan looked like the leader he is, 20 boards. Ginobli made his first start of the postseason, and ended up with 31. These Spurs are still very dangerous. They beat up the Suns, making that 3 vs 6 series look like a 1 vs 8. Now, still in San Antonio, the Spurs have a shot at tieing the series. At home, with three days rest, they can and will do it. Duncan had a fever on Thursday and Ginobili had and has had an ankle problem. Hopefully their good by now.

I don't predict a blowout by any means. But in the end, Game 4 will be HORNETS 91, SPURS, 96
