Quote of the Game:

"The emotional part of this game is so big, it's different to anything else. When I started feeling that everything was going so good for me and I was being able to finish or hit a three, the one I hit in the fourth quarter, I just felt I was, you know, great, couldn't feel better. This is an NBA Finals and the first game is always the key, so it was probably one of the highlights of my season.."

- Manu Ginobili
