Parker scored 28 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, and 1 steal, along with enduring 27 of Popovich’s roars.
Ginobili also found his form, contributing 21 points, 3 rebounds, and 5 assists throughout the ga.

After being tied with the Spurs at two wins each, the Warriors won two consecutive gas, eliminating the reigning champions with a series score of 4-2, incredibly advancing to the Western Conference Finals.
This year’s Western Conference Finals is undoubtedly the matchup that David Stern has been most looking forward to.
Because after the Suns eliminated the Jazz 4-1 to advance to the Western Conference Finals, this year’s finals will be between two teams known for their offensive prowess.
Also, the Warriors fans, who previously accused the league of favoritism, will face the "trophy thief" Steve Nash in this series.
Since the Western Conference Finals have been dominated by defensive teams in the NBA, this upcoming matchup promises to be highly entertaining.
Yes, after the Warriors eliminated the Spurs, people anticipated that this Western Conference Finals would be a thrilling and entertaining dialogue.
The Phoenix Suns, who’ve swept the league with their fast-paced style for two seasons.
And the surprising Golden State Warriors, who’ve successively crushed the Mavericks and the Spurs.
After the sixth ga against the Warriors, Popovich, still striving to maintain Duncan’s top power forward status, said in an interview, "Although we lost in this Western Conference Semifinals, I don’t think it ans the end of Tim’s era.
He simply made sacrifices for the team due to our tactical needs."
However, at this mont, no one cares about Popovich’s post-ga defense.
Because now, everyone’s only concerned about the upcoming Western Conference Finals and whether Qin Yue can lead the Warriors further.
Tim Duncan’s era had already ended after the fifth ga.
Compared to the regular season’s accolades, which are far from collectible.
No matter the truth, Qin Yue’s trophy room now includes a piece titled "Duncan’s Enigmatic Smile."
This is a playoff trophy!
It is very precious and highly collectible!
Plus, combined with the earlier victory over the Dallas Mavericks, earning the trophy nad "King Nowitzki’s chanical Heart."
This legendary rookie, Qin Yue, has already beco the de facto top power forward in the NBA with his extraordinary playoff performance this year!
