Yet this finish was only one part of a wildly entertaining, up-and-down contest. Join us after the jump for the bigger picture of what went down, including analysis of just how Ginobili got so open on his winning shot, the Danny Green three-pointer that sent the game to overtime, and the Warriors' third-quarter run that built up their lead in the first place.

There is no good reason to leave open a player of Manu Ginobili's caliber on the last defensive possession of the game. However, a closer look at the video shows where the Warriors went wrong. As Ginobili and Parker crossed paths near the elbow, Harrison Barnes followed Parker around the screen, isolating Bazemore on Ginobili. At the same time, Boris Diaw ran to the paint, which required Bazemore to leave Ginobili and guard against a wide-open lay-up.

Although he left Ginobili open, this was the correct play. The error was in both Barnes and Jack covering Parker, with Jack looking particularly mistaken in that he covered an empty space between Parker and Leonard. It was a smart play by Popovich, but it also looks as if the Warriors had little sense of how to make their rotations.
