ByJerryMcDonald BayAreaNewsGroup ALAMEDA ChristianPon- der has talked football, family and faith with Derek Carr since joining the Raiders as an unre- stricted free agent. What Ponder has yet to discuss with Carr is how fleeting fame can be as a starting quarterback in the NFL. "We haven't had the con- versation yet," Ponder said following a Raiders orga- nized team activity Tues- day. "I think he's kind of experiencing that right now with what he's deal- ing with. He'll be back soon enough, but football is kind of an up and down expe- rience for most. Not ev- eryone plays a 15-year ca- reer and is at the top of his game every year." Carr was able to take some snaps during drills simulating running plays, but did no throwing as he continues to rehab from an undisclosed injury, re- portedly an issue with the ring finger on his throw- ing hand. Meanwhile, Ponder, two seasons removed from being a 10-game winner for the Minnesota Vikings only to plummet to third on the depth chart, was getting first team reps for the second straight week. "It's nice to be out there getting reps," Ponder said. "Last year I didn't get many reps with Matt Cas- sel and Teddy (Bridgewa- ter) ahead of me, so it's good to be out there, get- ting more reps and getting my feet wet." A first-round draft pick by the Vikings in 2011, Ponder started 11 games as a rookie the season af- ter Brett Favre retired, and played all 16 games in 2012, completing 62.1 percent of his passes for 2,935 yards, 18 touchdowns and 12 in- terceptions in an offense that featured the running of Adrian Peterson. The following season, Ponder played in nine games while Cassel and Josh Freeman were in the mix. Last season, with Norv Turner running the offense, Ponder adjusted to life as a third wheel. Ponder believes the ex- perience toughened him mentally and that learning a new offense under Turner gave him a different per- spective. But it's not some- thing he wants to re-live. "It stinks having to go through stuff like that — losing your job and hav- ing to find a new organiza- tion," Ponder said. "But it's worked out for me so far." Coming to Oakland re- united Ponder with offen- sive coordinator Bill Mus- grave, who had the same title in Minnesota the sea- son he won 10 games. (Pon- der missed the wild card playoff loss with a triceps bruise). Oakland was Ponder's only visit — even though he knows his primary compe- tition is with Matt McGloin to be the backup with Carr as the starter. "My job, I understand, is the backup," Ponder said. "I'm here to help Derek and this team out. It is ex- citing to be taking first- team reps, but I know this is Derek's team." Should Carr be unavail- able, Del Rio feels good about the alternative. "He's a guy that was quarterback of a team that won 10 games," Del Rio said. "That's not easy to do in this league. He's been in big moments be- fore. The experience is ben- eficial to him." RAIDERS QB Ponder says he's got Carr's back D.ROSSCAMERON—BAYAREANEWSGROUPFILE Oakland Raiders quarterbacks Christian Ponder (9) and Matt McGloin run through a passing drill during a veterans voluntary minicamp April 21at the team's headquarters in Alameda. Eight months of work al- most came crashing down for the Warriors when Curry jumped in the air as Trevor Ariza started to shoot a layup midway through the second quarter Monday night. Ariza saw him and stopped abruptly, causing Curry to tumble over him. Curry's head hit the court hard and his arms bent awkwardly. He re- mained on the floor for several minutes, walked to the locker room look- ing stunned and returned in the second half after the team said he passed the league-mandated concus- sion tests. "It could have been a lot worse," Curry said. Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Tuesday, a travel day for both teams, that Curry is doing just fine — other than the bruise on his head — and should be ready to go for Game 5. The Rockets could relate to losing a key player in a flash — albeit for a slightly different reason. Dwight Howard, who received a flagrant 1 foul early in the third quarter after throwing an elbow at Andrew Bogut's head, could've been suspended for a game by accumula- tion of flagrant foul points if the NBA upgraded the call to a flagrant 2 after review.

But after Ramirez's sacri- fice fly trimmed it to 5-3, Bumgarner got Jason Rog- ers to pop out to second be- fore Hector Gomez's sharp line drive was caught by diving shortstop Brandon Crawford. Pence's solo homer came in the first and Duffy's two- run shot just over the leap- ing glove of centerfielder Carlos Gomez made it 5-0 in the fourth. The Giants increased their lead to 6-3 on a solo blast by Belt in the seventh. Trainer'sroom: GIANTS: • Matt Cain threw 25 pitches to three batters in a simulated inning Tuesday afternoon. He began the season on the disabled list and hopes to return before the All-Star break in July. BREWERS: • Jonathan Lucroy will begin a rehab assignment Thursday with Class A Bre- vard County and hopes to join Milwaukee Monday in St. Louis. The catcher has been on the disabled list since April 20. Up next: Giants: Ryan Vogelsong (3-2, 4.60 ERA) is 3-0 with a 1.05 ERA in his last four starts. Brewers: Mike Fiers (1- 4, 4.63 ERA) will pitch on short rest as a replacement for injured Wily Peralta. Giants FROM PAGE 1 Tristan Thompson had 16 points and 11 rebounds. It was a tough way for the Hawks to end a remarkable season. They survived a tu- multuous offseason, and their young roster gelled in January when they became the first franchise to go 17-0 in a calendar month. They went on to win 19 straight, improved their record by 22 wins over last season and beat Brooklyn and Wash- ington to make their first conference finals since 1994. But an injury to start- ing forward Thabo Sefolo- sha in April was followed by DeMarre Carroll injur- ing his knee in the series opener, before Kyle Korv- er's season ended in Game 2 with an ankle injury. NBA FROM PAGE 1 and an assist, and Miller finished with his first goal in 22 career playoffs games, plus three assists. Ryan Callahan scored for Tampa Bay in the first period, but the Rangers did a good job of limiting op- portunities for Lightning captain Steven Stamkos, who only got off two shots after scoring in four con- secutive games. Stamkos had a goal and an assist, Bishop had 26 saves and the Lightning killed four penalties to take Game 5 in New York. Lun- dqvist played well enough in that game for the Rang- ers to win on most nights, however the inability to take advantage of power- play opportunities was the difference in the outcome.
