San Antonio Spurs Defeat Lakers
San Antonio Spurs showed that they are able of getting over a big defeat and turned the tables on the Lakers 103-84 in Game 3 of the play offs.

Manu Ginobli led on Sunday night with his 30 points, showing no sign of his lingering ankle injury, as the Spurs cut their deficit to 2-1 in the Western Conference finals. Ginobli scored 22 of his points, including 15 on three- point shots, in the first half, on the way of defeating the Lakers, who failed to do what they previously did in Los Angeles.

San Antonio used the advantage of their home court to send the Lakers back with a defeat, as Tim Duncan added 22 points and 21 rebounds for the Spurs.

The Spurs were 11-of-43 from beyond the arc coming into Sunday night's game, but went 10-of-18 from three-point range to get back in the series. That included a 5-of-7 performance from Ginobili.

Also, Tony Parker had 20 points and five assists for San Antonio, which is 7-0 at home in the postseason.

Kobe Bryant led the Los Angeles Lakers with 30 points, scoring 13 of his 23 shots, while Pau Gasol scored 15 points and Jordan Farmar had ten points. Lamar Odom contributed with seven points, 11 rebounds and six assists, but shot just 2-of-11 in the loss.

San Antonio managed to win 13 consecutive playoff games at home.

The next game for the San Antonio Spurs will be on Tuesday at home, in the fourth game of the play off.
