Western Conference Finals: Spurs dominate Lakers, win Game 5, 104-86 (3-2).

LeBron shot 3-13 tonight.
Anthony Davis stormed off the court once the buzzer sounded, clearly upset about the outcome that saw the Spurs go up by 16 during a cold shooting spell in the third quarter. Taurean Prince had a comeback spectacle with 20 points, 2 steals on an 8-12 stroke. Dejounte Murray had 14 points with 7 assists, nabbing 2 steals. Brandon Ingram dropped 14, P.J. Tucker for 13, J.R. Smith for 12 with Mosgov & Allen corralling 20 rebounds with 3 blocks. The Spurs went 30-14 over LA in the third quarter, allowing its stars to rest the 4th.

Anthony Davis poured his heart out for 30 points & 13 rebounds. KCP went a cold 4-13, finishing with 11. LeBron had his worst game of the post-season with 10/7/6, 4 turnovers on 3-13 shooting. JaVale McGee's effort earned him 10 points, 17 rebounds. Dwight Howard & even Lebron were targeted by the Spurs, missing free throws down the stretch. The Lakers had an awful 15 turnovers, compared to only two by San Antone.

The winds for the western crown shift back to San Antonio for Game 6. The Philadelpha 76ers will be watching, to see if indeed it'll be the dynastic Texas titan they'll be facing in the NBA Finals, having convincingly defeated the two-time defending Eastern Confernence Champions, Milwaukee Bucks, 4 games to 2.
