Home Fires Burning The story of the NBA Playoffs' second round so far has been home court advantage, as the key to winning has been whose court the game was being played on as the home team has won every game so far since the four series began a week ago. On Thursday the home cooking continued as the defending NBA Champions San Antonio Spurs who lost the first two games against the New Orleans Hornets on the road, got back in the series with a return to the AT&T Center, winning game three 110-99, as they overcame another strong game from Chris Paul who had a game high 35 points. Leading the way for the Spurs was Tony Parker and Manu Ginobilli who each scored 31 points. Elsewhere the Boston Celtics continued their home dominance shutting down LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers again 89-73 to take a 2-0 series lead. |
