"But playing with the teammates I've always played, coached by the guy that is coaching us, I always felt that we had a shot, and I truly never be- lieved it was the last shot." This probably wasn't, ei- ther. True, the 38-year-old Duncan realizes the end is near, though won't say and perhaps doesn't know how close it is. Ginobili will be 37 next month and may be entering the last stage of his career as well. But Parker shows no signs of slowing down, NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard looks ready for an even bigger role, and coach Gregg Popovich and general manager R.C. Bu- ford, whom Commissioner Adam Silver called "per- haps the greatest GM- coach combination in all of sports," have shown they can find good play- ers and make them better once they don the silver and black. "My secret is these guys behind me, Coach Pop and R.C. That's my secret," owner Peter Holt said. "It doesn't start at the top, it starts with them. And it's a wonderful group to be with." The only prediction about the future Sunday night came from Popovich, and it was about the Heat. Though the former champi- ons are heading into an un- certain summer with LeB- ron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh all eligible for free agency, he said Mi- ami would be back. It wasn't long ago peo- ple had stopped saying that about San Antonio. Beaten in the first round by rugged Memphis as the No. 1 seed in 2011, the Spurs didn't look strong enough. Ousted by Oklahoma City the next year after build- ing a 2-0 lead in the West- ern Conference finals, San Antonio didn't seem quick enough. Yet the Spurs made the necessary tweaks, and when it wasn't quite good enough last season against the Heat, they came back even more focused and left no doubt this time. "We've adapted and come out here and been able to win another cham- pionship," Duncan said. "So proud. It's unbelievable." Spurs FROM PAGE 1 him one of the game's great- est pure hitters. He had 3,141 hits — 18th on the all- time list — a career .338 av- erage and won eight batting titles to tie Honus Wagner's NL record. He struck out only 434 times in 9,288 career at- bats. He played in San Di- ego's only two World Series — batting a combined .371 — and was a 15-time All- Star. He had a memorable home run in Game 1 of the 1998 World Series off fellow San Diegan David Wells, and scored the winning run in the 1994 All-Star Game despite a bum knee. Gwynn never hit be- low .309 in a full season. He spread out his batting titles from 1984, when he batted .351, to 1997, when he hit .372. Gwynn was hitting .394 when a players' strike ended the 1994 season, de- nying him a shot at becom- ing the first player to hit .400 since San Diego na- tive Ted Williams hit .406 in 1941. Gwynn befriended Wil- liams and the two loved to talk about hitting. Gwynn steadied Williams when he threw out the ceremonial first pitch before the 1999 All-Star Game at Boston's Fenway Park. Fellow Hall of Famer Greg Maddux tweeted, "Tony Gwynn was the best pure hitter I ever faced! Condolences to his family." Gwynn was known for his hearty laugh and warm personality. Every day at 4 p.m., Gwynn sat in the Pa- dres' dugout and talked baseball or anything else with the media. Gwynn had been on a medical leave since late March from his job as base- ball coach at San Diego State, his alma mater. He died at a hospital in sub- urban Poway, agent John Boggs said. Gwynn's wife, Alicia, and other family members were at his side when he died, Boggs said.Last week, SDSU announced it was extending Gwynn's con- tract one season. The Az- tecs play at Tony Gwynn Stadium, which was built in the mid-1990s with a $4 million donation by then-Padres owner John Moores. Gwynn was born in Los Angeles on May 9, 1960, and attended high school in Long Beach. He was a two-sport star at San Diego State in the late 1970s and early 1980s, playing point guard for the basketball team — he still holds the game, season and career record for assists — and in the outfield on the baseball team. Gwynn FROM PAGE 1 By The Associated Press Thomas Mueller scored a hat trick as Germany turned on its style and power to rout 10-man Por- tugal 4-0 in their World Cup Group G opener in Sal- vador, Brazil, on Monday. Mueller, who led the 2010 World Cup with five goals, was ruthless against a weak Portugal team that was clearly outplayed. Portugal was already 2-0 down before Pepe was red carded in the 37th minute for apparently head-butt- ing Mueller when the Ger- man player was sitting on the ground. Pepe had stuck his hand into Muel- ler's face and the German went down. NIGERIA 0, IRAN 0 Nigeria and Iran delivered the first draw of the World Cup o as they ground out a scrappy 0-0 stalemate in their opening match in Group F in Curitiba. After a first half in which Nigeria failed to capital- ize on its dominance, the chances were few and far between in the second. 2014 FIFA WORLD CUP ROUNDUP Germany's Mueller scores three in rout will determine whether he can return for this World Cup. Dempsey went down too on a balmy late-au- tumn night, but he stayed in the game. The U.S. cap- tain ended the first half with a tissue up his nose, which he said was probably broken, to stop the bleed- ing after John Boye's kick to his face during a bat- tle for a header in the 31st minute. "I just had trouble breathing," Dempsey said afterward, his nose swollen and cut. "I was coughing up blood a little bit. Hope- fully I'll be able to breathe through my nose again be- fore the next game." Tim Howard made big save after big save as Ghana outshot the U.S. 21- 8. Matt Besler came out at the start of the second half after feeling tightness in his right hamstring. It was his replacement, Brooks, who scored the winning goal. Zusi was also a sub, coming on for the hobbling Alejandro Bedoya in the second half. By the time of the final whistle, the U.S. lineup had Brooks in central defense and a virtually invisible 23-year-old Aron Johanns- son at forward. The Americans "showed a lot of heart, a lot of char- acter," Dempsey said. Now the odds favor ad- vancement. But that might depend on which players are able to make it on the field for Sunday's game against Portugal in the hot and humid Amazon rain forest capital of Manaus. "This win means noth- ing unless we're able to build upon it the next two games," Dempsey said.

By The Associated Press MIAMI Pinch-hitting pitcher Travis Wood had an RBI double with two outs in the 13th inning, giving the Chicago Cubs a 5-4 victory over the Miami Marlins. Called on to bat for re- liever Carlos Villanueva (3-5), Wood hit a sharp groundball off Jacob Turner (2-5) down the left field line, scoring Junior Lake for the go-ahead run. Wood, who is batting .250 this season, was 0 for 4 as a pinch hitter entering the game.
