The Golden State Warriors put up 106 points in Game One prior to overtime, but have not been able to go over the century mark in each of the last four games. They have also failed to do so in six of their last seven playoffs games. It seems like teams that get a chance to play them often start to figure out how to slow them down. That has now been the case through the first two rounds of the playoffs. The Spurs had one of those games in Game Four where everything was dropping for them from both inside and outside the arc, piling up 109 points. I don't think it will be so easy in Game Five with Golden St. facing elimination, and back at home. I think San Antonio will continue to play strong on the defensive end, especially early to take the crowd out of the game. The two games played here both played UNDER the total, despite one of them going to OT. This one should be a war played on the defensive end at the onset, and as to not fall prey to late free throws or OT. Take the first half UNDER the total.
