OAKLAND, Calif. -- Down and dominated during most of the first two games at home, the San Antonio Spurs once again showed why nobody should ever count them out. Tony Parker scored 25 of his 32 points in a sizzling first half, Tim Duncan added 23 points and 10 rebounds, and the Spurs quieted the Golden State Warriors and their rowdy sellout crowd in a 102-92 victory Friday night to take a 2-1 lead in the Western Conference semifinals. San Antonio outshot Golden State 50.6 to 39.3 per cent and curbed streaky shooters Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson for the first time in the series. "They had Curry in the first game. They had Klay in the second one," said Spurs guard Manu Ginobili, who had 12 points, five rebounds and four assists. "It was time for one of us to get hot." Thompson scored 17 points on 7-of-20 shooting, while Curry had 16 points on 5 of 17 from the floor and sprained his left ankle again in the final minutes. Curry was icing his ankle in the locker room and limped out without speaking to reporters. His status moving forward is unclear. Game 4 in the best-of-seven series is Sunday in Oakland. "Its real frustrating, but its a short turnaround," said Warriors centre Andrew Bogut, who had 11 points and 12 rebounds but was saddled with foul trouble most of the second half. "The series definitely isnt over. The short turnaround suits a younger team like us. Obviously the work we did in San Antonio is kind of down the drain, but we can salvage that next game." Kawhi Leonard finished with 15 points and nine rebounds, and Parker added five assists and five boards to help the Spurs wrestle back home-court advantage from the Warriors after withstanding a brief fourth-quarter rally. After leading for 95 of 106 minutes in the first two games, the Warriors nearly pulled off their own comeback. They scored the first nine of the fourth in fewer than 2 minutes, capping the run by slicing San Antonios lead to 79-78 when Bogut blocked Duncans layup, and Draymond Green made a jumper while drawing a foul on Duncan on the other end. Parker put San Antonio back ahead by seven with a 3-pointer during another brief burst before leaving briefly after getting kicked in the left shin. Trainers wrapped his leg while he was on the bench and he showed no signs of slowing down when he returned, though he limped around the hallways after the game. Parker said he will receive treatment and will play in Game 4. With Parker on the bench, the Spurs never relented. Duncan converted a three-point play and Leonard added a layup to cap an 11-1 run that gave San Antonio a 90-79 lead with 5:39 to play. "I thought our team was very focused," Parker said. "By far our best game in the series. The first two games we didnt play well enough. Got lucky in the first one. The second one they kick our butt." The Warriors only hope they didnt lose more than just a game. Most of Golden States yellow-shirt wearing crowd of 19,596 silenced after Curry came off a curl and his left ankle -- which he sprained in Game 2 in the first round against Denver but seemed to finally be back to full strength -- landed awkwardly when he planted his feet to receive the ball. Curry limped around but stayed in the game, with nervous chants of "Curry! Curry!" breaking out. The Warriors moved within five points on Harrison Barnes pull-up jumper with 2:48 left but never got closer. After starting 3-0 at home in the playoffs, Golden State fell short again in maybe the biggest basketball game in the Bay Area in decades. The Warriors have not held a series lead beyond the first round since the 1975-76 season, when they went up 2-1 and 3-2 against Phoenix in the conference finals and lost. That also was last time the Warriors made the conference finals, though there were only three rounds in the playoffs at that time. "We talked about it, even after winning Game 2, this is going to be a heavyweight championship fight," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said. "This is a different animal that were going against. They have four future Hall of Famers. Theyre not going to lie down." San Antonio had by far its best start behind its All-Star point guard. Parker scored 13 points in the first quarter on 6-of-8 shooting, including a desperation bank shot after getting fouled by Green that gave the Spurs a 32-23 lead. The largest lead for San Antonio, which went ahead by 11 points throughout the second quarter, previously was five -- all the way back in the second overtime of its Game 1 comeback win. All-Star forward David Lee sparked Golden State with his first appearance in the series after tearing his right hip flexor in the first-round opener against Denver and originally deemed out for the season. Lee, held scoreless in a brief appearance in the Game 6 clincher over the Nuggets, instantly put back an offensive rebound while getting fouled by Tiago Splitter to start a three-point play that sent fans into a frenzy. Lee finished with five points and two rebounds in three minutes. The Warriors erased a nine-point halftime deficit a little more than midway through the third quarter when Currys quick 3-pointer evened the score at 65-all. Bogut exited with 6:34 remaining in the period after picking up his fourth foul, and the Spurs surged ahead by 11 behind a brief burst from Ginobili with Golden States big man buried on the bench. "We made shots and they didnt have as good a night shooting the ball," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "Sometimes its as simple as that." ------ NOTES: Duncan received a technical foul for shoving Bogut while running back on defence in the first quarter. The whistle came after Bogut had just dunked and dangled his legs around Duncans shoulders trying to regain his balance. ... San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York, general manager Trent Baalke, QB Colin Kaepernick and running back Frank Gore were sprinkled throughout the crowd along with other team executives. ... Rick Barry, the MVP of the 1975 NBA Finals won by the Warriors, and comedian Dave Chappelle also were shown on the videoboard wearing yellow shirts. Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic .

In the response filed Wednesday to the complaint by 30-year-old Alexander Bradley, attorneys say the former University of Florida player is invoking his Fifth Amendment right that protects people from incriminating themselves. Four years ago, Missy Franklin made a big splash at the London Olympics, winning four gold medals and winning over fans with her infectious smile, bubbly personality and ability to touch the wall before anyone else. Her mom and dad, DA and Dick, were lauded for their low-key approach and for letting Missy remain a normal teen. Rather than turn pro and cash in on her golden moment, she returned to Colorado to swim with her high school team and longtime coach, then went on to win an NCAA title -- and study psychology -- at the University of California, Berkeley.Missy did eventually turn pro after two seasons at Cal, and the 21-year-old brought a bevy of sponsorships and enormous expectations to the Rio Games. I spoke with DA, who has written a book with her daughter that will come out in December, a few weeks before the U.S. trials about the joys and stresses of sports parenting. Watching Missy weather what she called the hardest week of her life -- during which she did not medal in an individual event -- with remarkable grace, I thought back to that conversation. And I wondered: What can the Franklins example teach the rest of us about raising resilient kids who can bounce back from devastating disappointment?Here are a few of DA Franklins hard-won words of wisdom -- as well as some sage sports parenting advice Ive received from the moms of other superstars -- about how to successfully support your daughters and sons from the sidelines.Failure is an optionWhile its heartbreaking to see your child feel like shes failed, its an experience no one can escape, says DA. So you need to prepare your kids, however prodigious their talents, to cope with coming up short at some point.After Missys triumph in London she suffered a crippling bout of back spasms at the 2014 Pan Pacific Championships, left her longtime coach to head off to college, and struggled to balance the demands of both sponsors and school. Those life lessons inspired her to write a poignant letter to her parents, thanking her best friends in the entire world for letting me make my own mistakes.When Missy hurt her back -- the pain was so, so severe that she couldnt move for 45 minutes -- it was a teachable moment for her, says DA. She realized then that not everything will go perfectly for her. So she decided, I need to focus on the things that I can control.Letting your child experience the sadness of not measuring up can help him assess what hell have to do differently next time to succeed, says Diana Benedict, mom of Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts.When Betts, now a frontrunner for American League MVP honors, started playing sports, he was the smallest kid on the court. A few minutes into his first basketball game, another boy stole the ball from him.Mookie sat there and bawled, says Benedict. You would have thought that somebody had just hit him in the face. I told him, I want you to make this an opportunity to better yourself and be stronger next time. Youre gonna go out there, play hard and get the ball back. He didnt do it that game, but when he did, I could tell that something had clicked for him.Dont let others define themHouston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt, the NFLs reigning defensive player of the year, is recovering from back surgery. But its hardly the first challenge hes faced in Houston. When the Texans took Watt 11th overall in the 2011 draft, fans didnt exactly roll out the welcome mat.The entire draft party in Texas booed him, says his mom, Connie Watt. That was hard. I told him that it didnt have anything to do with him or what hed done in college. It was because tthey wanted the team to take someone who was better known.dddddddddddd They didnt know J.J. or his work ethic.Let your kids see you struggleIf they see you stumble and survive, writes Jessica Lahey in her book, The Gift of Failure, they will realize that failing at a task is not the same as failing as a person.Kevin Durant credits his mother, Wanda -- who raised Kevin and his brother, Tony, as a single parent in Washington, D.C., on a postal workers salary -- for showing him how to rebound from setbacks. He saluted her as the real MVP during his moving 2014 NBA MVP acceptance speech.At one point, when I was working overnight shifts, Kevin asked me, How long are you going to keep working like this? says Wanda Durant. It was hard on him and his brother, too. But I told him, Its what I have to do to make sure were OK. He understood.After the game, talk about anything but the gameWin or lose, dont rehash your childs performance right after a match or meet, says DA Franklin.After Missy swam as a kid, the only things I would ask were: Did you do your best? and Did you have fun? she says. When Missy would say, Yep, I had a blast, that was the end of the discussion. Her father and I would respond, Fantastic! Now lets go get some dinner.I still tell her, Have fun! before every competition.When your kid is ready to talk about the game -- or anything else -- dont lecture, just listen, says Wanda Durant.Kevin knew he could talk to me about anything, says Durant, who counseled her son as he agonized over where to sign this summer. There are still times when he will call and well just kind of talk things through.Let their teammates tag alongDont just listen to your own kid -- get to know her teammates, too. You never know what you might overhear during the carpool chatter.Even at those stages when your kids dont want to talk to you, per se, about whats going on, invite their friends over, says Connie Watt, who runs her sons foundation, which funds after-school programs for teens. Theres a lot youll learn.Be the parent, and let the coach coachDick and I agreed -- lets let the coach handle the coaching and well do the parenting, says Franklin. Weve seen so many times that parents can affect how the child feels about the sport. We wanted to give Missy that space to develop that relationship and trust with her coach.Benedict was her sons first coach, but eventually realized that it was time move to the sidelines.Sometimes the parents can be the worst enemy, she says. Sometimes its best to step back and let a friend or a professional teach your child.Remind them that this too shall passAs Missy, who remained gracious and forthcoming with the media after each race, suffered through her public belly flops off the blocks, she did what any 21-year-old would: call her mom and have a good cry.?She just told me that its going to be OK, and thats all I needed to hear, Missy told reporters in Rio.Missy puts a positive twist on everything, DA told me back in June. She has a very optimistic, spiritual way of looking at things.?Indeed, it only took a day or so after her final race in Rio for Missy to regain her buoyancy outside the pool. Its all going to be OK. Im loved, Im supported, she said. If a disappointing swim meet is the worst thing that happens to me in my life, I have a pretty damn good life.Aimee Crawford (@AimeeJCrawford) is a senior editor for ESPN.com and a baseball, soccer, hockey and hoops mom/coach to two sports-obsessed kids.
