The Spurs can regain it by earning a rare playoff win in Oklahoma City when the well-rested teams square off again Friday night.

The Thunder nearly blew a four-point lead in the final Brandon Browner Jersey15 seconds before holding on for a 98-97 victory Monday, and the NBA ruled the next day that there were five incorrect non-calls in that closing stretch. Oklahoma City's Dion Waiters was part of perhaps the most high-profile one, pushing Manu Ginobili away with his elbow on an inbounds play with 13.5 seconds to go.

The league also stated that Ginobili should have been charged with a http://www.patriotsofficialonlinesshop.com/brandon-lafell-jersey_c-388.htmldelay-of-game violation for stepping on the sideline as he was defending Waiters. Potential fouls from the Spurs' Kawhi Leonard and Patty Mills affected Oklahoma City's inbounds pass, which was stolen away from Kevin Durant by Danny Green.

LaMarcus Aldridge would have received two foul shots if referees had correctly called a foul on Serge Ibaka for grabbing his jersey when Aldridge was trying to rebound Mills' missed 3-pointer.

Aldridge was 10 of 10 from the http://www.patriotsofficialonlinesshop.com/bryan-stork-jersey_c-385.htmlline Monday and finished with 41 points in San Antonio's first loss in six games this postseason.

"Now it's our job to react," Spurs point guard Tony Parker said. "Everybody on this team understands that to win a championship, you have to win on the road. So that's our job now."

That could prove to be a challenging one as Oklahoma City has won Kedric Golston Jerseyeight of nine at home, the lone loss coming in Game 2 of its opening-round series against Dallas.

The Thunder have won in 11 of 13 at home against San Antonio, including playoffs, and are 5-1 there against http://www.redskinsshopnfl.com/Authentic-Keenan-Robinson-Jerseythe Spurs in two postseason series since relocating from Seattle.

"We have to come into the game like we're down 0-2," Waiters said. "We know that's how they're going to approach the game. We know they're going to come in and do what they do. We have to match their intensity.

"We know it's important to take care of home-court advantage. We have to come in with the mindset of coming in to win and compete, play hard as possible and play smart."
