After the game, we did a Q&A with Gregg Popovich to see what is his reaction and confidence heading into Game 5 Monday night:
Q: Everybody thought that the Spurs will close out the series tonight and what happend?
A: The Mavs wanted it more and they were a better team tonight. Duncan got into foul trouble early in the game and he had to sit out, Mavs took control of that and won it.
Q: Your former point-guard is the coach of the Mavericks, do you think he can read the plays that you tell your player to do?
A: Ummm...he probably can, but Spurs are on a mission and even if he can and he probably knows some things that the Spurs will do to win, and he will probably use it more times to send this series deep.
Q: Ginobili, 29 points he had a nice game out there, would you say?
A: We needed Ginobili, he was attacking the basket, making three-point plays and all that stuff to keep us in the game, but it wasnt enough to beat them.
Q: You and your team is heading into Game 5 with a 3-1 lead, what are your predictions for that game?
A: We worked very hard to get this far, take the 3-1 lead and I dont have any predictions, the game will turn out to be the game and hopefully we want to take Game 5 and win the series and look ahead.
Q: Good Luck in game 5.
A: Thanks.
