Spurs host Lakers in Game 4 of West finals

The San Antonio Spurs try to knot the Western Conference finals at 2-2, as they welcome the Los Angeles Lakers tonight to the AT&T Center.

After losing Games 1 and 2 at the Staples Center, the Spurs bounced back for a big win at home. On Sunday, Manu Ginobili scored 22 of his team-high 30 points in the first half and Tim Duncan dominated inside, as the third-seeded Spurs used the advantage of their home court to beat the top-seeded Lakers, 103-84, in Game 3 of the best-of-seven series.

Duncan had 22 points and 21 rebounds for San Antonio in the victory. Tony Parker scored 20 for the Spurs, who have won 21 of their last 23 games as the host. Dating to last season, they have won 13 consecutive playoff games at home, the longest active streak in the NBA.

MVP Kobe Bryant scored 30 points on 13-of-23 from the field for the Lakers, who have had a hard time winning at San Antonio. Pau Gasol added 15 points and Jordan Farmar 10 for Los Angeles, which dropped both of its games at the AT&T Center during the regular season.

Lamar Odom contributed seven points, 11 rebounds and six assists, but shot just 2-of-11 in the loss.

The Lakers have lost three of their last five Game 4s in the playoffs, while San Antonio has won three of its last four.

Game 5 of the set is scheduled for Thursday in Los Angeles.
