<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><strong class="Dateline">Oakland, CA -- [/b](Sports Network) - Stephen Jackson and Baron Davis scored 20 and 18 points respectively despite subpar shooting efforts, and Golden State snapped San Antonio's five-game winning streak with a 96-84 victory at ORACLE Arena.The Spurs, minus Tim Duncan for the third consecutive game with a sprained right ankle, committed 21 turnovers, shot just 38.5 percent from the floor and saw their two other stars -- Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili -- combined to make just 9-of-28 shots from the floor. "We'd rather have him than not have him," said San Antonio head coach Gregg Popovich. "He makes me a hell of a lot better coach when he's healthy, that's for sure."</p> Davis and Jackson also struggled, combining to shoot just 13-of-37, but Matt Barnes and Kelenna Azubuike each scored 16 points and Andris Biedrins added 14 points and seven boards for the Warriors, winners in 12 of 15 overall.</p> "We had active hands and were able to move the ball offensively and a couple of our threes fell and we got in transition and got some layups," surmised Davis about Golden State's success. Duncan's output was picked up by Matt Bonner, who compiled a career-best 25 points with 17 rebounds. Parker added 11 and Ginobili scored 13. San Antonio led 25-23 after one stanza before it all came crashing down offensively, leading to just 12 points over the next 12 minutes. The Warriors used a 16-0 stretch in the second quarter to take control. Monta Ellis started the burst with a jumper and Al Harrington converted two jumpers sandwiched around a Jackson three for a 40-27 lead with 5:20 left in the half. Davis' driving layup opened a 51-32 advantage and Golden State took a 53-37 lead into the half. A Biedrins hook and a Barnes lay-in upped the advantage to 71-49 with 3:46 on the clock in the third, but San Antonio tallied the five final points of the period to close within 79-64. Bonner's trey with 6:39 remaining cut the deficit to single digits at 83-74, but after Ginobili's two free throws again made it a nine-point margin at 87-78, Golden State scored nine straight points capped by Jackson's finger roll to put the game away.

Warriors played some pretty nice D in this game. I think the main key was that they move the ball around, which they did. I think when the Warriors are tired, that's when they stop bothering to make the extra move to cause a defender to go after them. They start standing around, going one-on-one, and they end up telegraphing the play.</p>
I can't even remember exactly. I thought Baron Davis got the assignment on Parker. He just bothered him and got him to turnover the ball a lot. The help defense must have been there if Baron ever got beat. It also helped that Parker wasn't shooting or taking care of the ball very well.</p> What I do remember is that the Warriors seemed to be picking the Spurs the minute they put the ball on the floor. Lots of quick hands out there. It's probably why they went small the entire game using less Biedrins and more guys that average a steal or more per game.</p>
