Ontheair of defense that we have shown the last couple of games then we'll have a chance to do so." Atlanta leads the Wiz- ards, but the Hawks have been anything but impres- sive. Washington has battled the Hawks, playing with- out All-Star point guard John Wall and winning one game on a last-sec- ond shot — and losing an- other the same way. But Atlanta has found a way to get it done. The Hawks haven't been in this posi- tion since 1988 when they were up 3-2 against Boston, but couldn't close out the Celtics. The Grizzlies also are ready for a final stand at home. "There are no excuses," Grizzlies guard Mike Con- ley said. "We have to take care of business at home and fight for another chance." A look at the two games: WARRIORS AT GRIZZLIES, WARRIORS LEAD 3-2, 6:30 P.M., ESPN The Warriors have started knocking down 3s again with 14 in each of the past two games. They also figured out how to smother one of the league's best inside scor- ing teams, holding Mem- phis to 37-of-98 shooting in the paint in that span. All that poor shoot- ing means neither Griz- zlies forward Zach Ran- dolph nor center Marc Gasol are getting to the free-throw line. Ran- dolph has attempted only three free throws the last two games combined, and Gasol is just 7 of 8. Worse, Gasol is 15 of 41 with both men taking too many shots too far away from the basket. Gasol said the Grizzlies have to get position closer to the basket quicker and beat the Warriors to their preferred position. They also need someone to knock down some perim- eter shots to force Golden State to back somebody out defensively. "We'll give it everything we have, and hopefully it will work out for us," Ga- sol said. "We're going to try to execute a little bet- ter, hold the ball as long as we have to." HAWKSATWIZARDS,HAWKS LEAD 3-2, 4 P.M., ESPN Vet- eran Paul Pierce has hit some timely 3s for Wash- ington, and he nearly had his second game-winner in this series before Al Hor- ford's rebound and putback gave Atlanta an 82-81 win in Game 5. Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said they have to be better defend- ing Pierce. "The defense and activ- ity and reactions to each other need to be better," Budenholzer said. "Proba- bly the ones that were de- fended with multiple de- fenders, multiple contests, he's made. Still, we've got to be better." APSportsWriters Howard Fendrich in Washington, Paul Newberry in Atlanta and Antonio Gonzalez in Oakland contributed to this report. Playoffs FROM PAGE 2 matters, it is only fair that a neutral arbitrator hear this appeal." If the league and its in- vestigators are truly confi- dent in its case, the union said, "they should be con- fident enough to present their case before someone who is truly independent." The union did not detail the basis for the appeal. But in a 20,000-word rebuttal posted online by the Patri- ots' lawyers earlier Thurs- day, the team disputed the conclusions on matters of science, logic and law. Attorney Daniel Gold- berg's response claims the league's conclusions are "at best, incomplete, incorrect and lack context," claiming as one example that the "deflator" nickname used by a ballboy and cited in the discipline was about weight loss, not footballs. Goldberg represented the team and was pres- ent during all of inter- views of team personnel. Patriots spokesman Sta- cey James confirmed that the site wellsreportcontext. com was genuine and "ap- proved/supported by the team." The NFL suspended the quarterback for four games on Monday, also fining the defending Super Bowl champions $1 million and taking away two draft picks. Brady's appeal only deals with the suspension and must be heard within 10 days. The team has not said if it will appeal its pen- alties, which include a first- round draft pick next year and a fourth-rounder in 2017, before a May 21 dead- line. League-appointed in- vestigator Ted Wells found that Brady was "at least generally aware" of plans by two team employees to prepare the balls to his lik- ing, below the league-man- dated minimum of 12.5 pounds per square inch. Patriots FROM PAGE 2 to a career-high 10 games — and scored on Angel Pa- gan's single off Tony Cin- grani to tie it at 3. Jumbo Diaz (2-0) retired the last two batters to end the in- ning. Byrd connected off Ser- gio Romo (0-2) with one out in the eighth, his eighth homer of the season. Arol- dis Chapman fanned two of the three batters in the ninth for his seventh save in as many chances. Lincecum brought a streak of 15 scoreless in- nings into the game, but had trouble keeping his footing. Lincecum walked five, hit a batter, threw a wild pitch and gave up three runs in only 4 2/3 in- nings. "It was a little slippery, a little muddy," Lincecum said. "That's just the deal with 30-some odd mounds. You've got to make the ad- justment and I didn't. "It more mentally got a hold of me. Again, that's on me. I've just got to tighten my focus." Both starters had long first innings. Cueto gave up a pair of hits, including Buster Posey's RBI single, while throwing 23 pitches. Lincecum bounced his first pitch and walked three consecutive bat- ters with two outs before Jay Bruce flied out to the warning track in center on his 32nd pitch. Gregor Blanco doubled off Cueto in the third, ad- vanced on a groundout and scored on Cueto's fourth balk, the most in the ma- jors. Lincecum gave up a dou- ble to Todd Frazier in the fourth, then slipped to his knee while throwing ball four to Byrd — his back foot slid off the rubber dur- ing the delivery. Brayan Pena's RBI single ended Lincecum's scoreless in- ning streak at 18 and cut it to 2-1. The Reds loaded the bases in the fifth, and Byrd hit an opposite-field sin- gle for a 3-2 lead on Lince- cum's 99th and final pitch. TheCallStands Pinch-hitter Andrew Susac led off the eighth with a walk from Cingrani and was picked off. The Gi- ants asked for a review that lasted 2 minutes, 16 sec- onds and upheld the call. Panik followed with his triple, making the pick-off costly. Trainer's Room Giants: Posey's bat broke on a groundout in the sixth, with the barrel hitting plate umpire Al- fonso Marquez on the left hand. The umpire was ex- amined by trainers for sev- eral minutes and stayed in the game. Reds: Second baseman Brandon Phillips was out of the lineup for the sec- ond day in a row with a sprained left big toe. Giants FROM PAGE 2 minutes before he came down on Thompson's foot early in the second quar- ter with the score 35-35 and did not return. James had 11 assists and nine rebounds but hardly looked like the superhu- man that carried Cleve- land in Game 5 with 38 points, 12 rebounds, six assists, three steals and three blocks. He shot 7 of 23 from the field and missed all four 3-point at- tempts in this game. But the Cavaliers had more than enough to get by, set- ting up a matchup with At- lanta or Washington. It is James' fifth straight conference finals, the pre- vious four with Miami. Jimmy Butler led Chi- cago with 20 points and Derrick Rose finished with 14. Pau Gasol scored all of his eight points in the first quarter after missing the previous two games with a strained left hamstring, and the Bulls simply got overmatched in what could be their final game under coach Tom Thibodeau. There is heavy specula- tion that he could be out be- cause of friction with man- agement despite leading Chicago to a 255-139 record and playoff appearances in each of his five seasons. Iman Shumpert scored 13 points for Cleveland. Dellavedova, James Jones and J.R. Smith (12 points) all hit three 3-pointers and the Cavaliers converted 12 in all.
