Game 14

Gassed

on the back end of a back to back the warriors faced the stifling Spurs in San Antonio..All teams lean on there best player to an extent.. but what the warriors have asked of Monta Ellis the last three games has been too much..despite Ellis being an energizer bunny..He finally ran out of juice midway through the third Wednesday night ..In what was still a very impressive effort Ellis again carried the team scoring 28 points in the first half.. 18 in the first quarter alone..The game was pretty much going the same way it was in Dallas..only this time Monta didn't get the late game support he got the night before..Maggette came in and helped with the scoring load in the second..just enough to keep them close..but the younger warriors mainly Morrow and curry who were both coming off career highs in minutes.. just didn't seem to have it.. turning the ball over far to much and coming up short on most of there shots.. which was a sure sign there legs had betrayed them..Once monta ran out of gas the spurs started to pick away at the wary warriors..The lead ballooned to 22 mid way through the fourth.. but Curry and Morrow showed what little fight they had left in them and got it back down to a respectable number.. Given the circumstance I think they have to feel pretty damn good about them selves on this Texas two step..One thing is clear..Monta Ellis is an elite scorer.
