Warriors 100, Spurs 91: Klay Thompson scored 29 of his 34 points in the first half and added 14 rebounds for his first career double-double as visiting Golden State held off San Antonio to even the Western Conference semifinals at 1-1.
Stephen Curry added 22 points and Harrison Barnes scored 13 for the Warriors, who snapped a 30-game losing streak in San Antonio dating back to Feb. 14, 1997. The best-of-seven series shifts to Golden State for Game 3 on Friday.
Tim Duncan had 23 points and nine rebounds and Tony Parker scored 20 as the Spurs suffered their first loss of the playoffs. San Antonio had overcome a 16-point deficit to win in double overtime in Game 1 but could not fight all the way back from a 19-point halftime gap in Game 2.
Parker’s jumper cut the lead down to 88-82 with seven minutes left but the Spurs never managed to get any closer. Manu Ginobili’s 3-pointer with 4:22 left drew the Spurs within six points again but Curry responded and San Antonio missed its next six shots as Golden State closed it out.
Thompson and Curry each reached double digits before the end of the first quarter but Thompson really started to go off in the second. The second-year guard went 5-for-6 from 3-point range in the period and hit four during a 16-4 run that ended the quarter and sent the Warriors into the break with a 62-43 lead.
The lead grew to as much as 69-49 with 8:33 left in the third before the Spurs began to battle back. San Antonio drew to within seven points before Carl Landry hit a free throw and Thompson knocked down a 3-pointer from the right side to make it an 83-72 gap heading to the fourth.
Thompson went 8-for-9 from beyond the arc to set a franchise record for made 3-pointers in a postseason game. His five 3-pointers in the second quarter matched the record that Curry set in the third quarter of Game 4 during the first round.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Thompson is the fifth player in the last 10 postseasons with at least 29 points in one half, joining Parker, LeBron James, Ray Allen and Dwight Howard. … The Warriors had gone 22 years between road wins in the second round of the playoffs (1991 at the Los Angeles Lakers). … Golden State cut its turnovers from 21 in Game 1 to 10 in Game 2. … Duncan was slowed at the end of Game 1 by an illness but went 9-for-20 in 37 minutes on Wednesday.
