Manu Ginobili took the high road after losing Game 2 on a wild finish.

Having been pushed by Dion Waiters on the final inbound of the game, Ginobili had plenty to complain about. But instead of pinning the loss on the officials, Ginobili pointed to the Spurs' lack of ability to execute.

"I was trying to pressure the ball and he tried to create room with his elbow. It's a very awkward play, it doesn't happen very often, so I guess (the officials) didn't see it," Ginobili explained.

"...But again, it wasn't that play that decided anything, because we got the steal, we got the shot, we got an offensive rebound."

As for Waiters, he pointed to Ginobili's infraction on the play.

"He stepped on the line anyway," Waiters said while looking at his phone.
