(AP) — The towels are showing up all around Memphis. They hang over neighborhood signs and even at a door to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The sentiment? Believe Memphis. The Grizzlies certainly do. Yes, they are down 0-2 to San Antonio in their first Western Conference final, but they take heart in knowing they dug themselves out ...

Parker had 15 points and a career playoff-high 18 assists, Duncan scored San Antonio's first six points of overtime and the Spurs bounced back after squandering a 13-po...

No one on either team expects him to play so poorly the rest of the series.

Now the Warriors will have to win two in a row to keep the Spurs from returning to the Western Conference finals. Tony Parker had 25 points and 10 assists, and the Sp...

(AP) — The Golden State Warriors outshot, outrebounded and outplayed the San Antonio Spurs in the first two games of their Western Conference semifinal but left Texas with a disappointing split. The Spurs controlled the pace in a near start-to-finish win on the road in Game 3 before allowing Game 4 against a hobbled Stephen Curry and the W...

Ginobili hit a 3-pointer from the left wing with 1.2 seconds left in the second overtime Monday night to lift the San Antonio Spurs to a 129-127 win over the Golden State Warriors and Curry, who put up 44 points in the opener of the Western Confer...

Then again, the Spurs' coach is used to his veteran guard's free-wheeling style. Ginobili's 3-pointer from the wing with 1.2 seconds left in double overtime lifted the San Antonio Spurs to a thrilling 129-127 victory Monday night over the Gold...

James strained his right hamstring in the first half of Friday's 108-89 victory at New Orleans, according to the Heat. He continued to play despite the injury, however, scoring 36 points in 32 minutes prior to si...

All they have to do is win at San Antonio. That, of course, is no easy task. The Heat (57-15) take a two-game lead in the NBA standings over the Spurs (55-17) into their matchup on Sunday.

Instead, it just raised more concerns for the San Antonio Spurs. Tim Duncan had 28 points and 19 rebounds and San Antonio escaped with a 92-91 victory over Dallas when Vince Carter's 3-point attempt bounced off the...

San Antonio's three biggest stars got up occasionally to cheer on their teammates, but that was the extent of their contribution on Monday. On this night, the NBA-best Spurs did just fine without them. Kawhi Leonard had a career-high 26 po...

A year ago, a play like that one from Sunday might have been impossible for Wade. Now, he's looking good as new, at maybe the perfect time for the surging Miami Heat.

For that, and for keeping it a secret, the San Antonio Spurs were fined $250,000 by the NBA on Friday.
