“I’m treating this NBA Finals like it’s my last one, along with Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan”. (c) Tony Parker
Before Game 2 of the 2014 NBA Finals begins later tonight, Tony Parker sat down with Sage Steele for a SportsCenter Conversation. The Spurs captain discussed his team’s Game 1 faults, citing turnovers as the main reason why they were under-performing. Not only that, but before tip-off, he learned an air condition malfunction could delay the game, but players still wanted to go out and play.
Tony also touch on his former play in Europe, which was real reminiscent of Thursday’s situation, revealing he also had lack of air conditioning in many gyms. His team was able to deal with the intense conditions more than their opponents, which even saw LeBron James leaving late in the game. Parker reassured that it was nice to get a relief when LeBron James went out with exhaustion and cramps; but stated the team still wants to play the “real” Miami Heat with James out on the court.
Watch Tony’s insight on tonight’s game and what they plan for another victory.
