OAKLAND, Calif. — The Golden State Warriors outshot, outrebounded and outplayed the San Antonio Spurs in the first two games of their Western Conference semifinal but left Texas with a disappointing split.

The Spurs controlled the pace in a near start-to-finish win on the road in Game 3 before allowing Game 4 against a hobbled Stephen Curry and the Warriors to slip away.

Maybe nobody should be surprised if this topsy-turvy series finds yet another twist.

Curry had 22 points, six rebounds and four assists on an injured left ankle, rallying the Warriors past the Spurs 97-87 in overtime Sunday to send the series back to San Antonio tied at two games apiece.

What started as a best-of-seven semifinal is suddenly a best of three, with each team already winning on the other’s home floor once.

Game 5 is Tuesday night in San Antonio.

“It’s almost like we played better there, and they played better here,” said Curry, who shot 7 of 15, including 5 of 10 from 3-point range as a mostly stationary guard. “I don’t know what to read into that, but I think the way that the game flowed (Sunday), kind of a low-scoring versus high-scoring early in the series, you just don’t know what to expect.”
