But after having a hearing with the NHL disciplinarian and subsequently being suspended three games, he was willing to accept the punishment. "Its what it is," Brown said Saturday morning.NEW ORLEANS - As Manu Ginobili dribbled out the final few seconds of the second-round series clincher, Tony Parker walked over and gave him a congratulatory pat on the head. There would be no exuberant celebration for the San Antonio Spurs when the final horn sounded, just a few hugs for a job well done. This playoff-savvy group was exhausted after a seven-game triumph over the younger, upstart New Orleans Hornets, but its title defence endures - for now. Ginobili scored 26 points, hitting four free throws in the final minute, to send the Spurs to the Western Conference finals with a 91-82 victory Monday night. Parker added 17 points, including a crucial jumper in the final minute. "We really believed we had a chance to win on the road here," said Spurs forward Tim Duncan, who had 16 points and 14 rebounds. "Its just a lot of confidence. A lot of games under our belt." With a nucleus of Chris Paul, David West and Tyson Chandler, the Hornets appear destined for greater things, but now is not their time. "One thing I want them to remember when they start working out next season is how they feel right now," said Hornets coach Byron Scott, adding he was proud that his team, which did not make the playoffs last season, pushed the Spurs as far as it did. "You have to go through some things before you can really understand how good its going to feel when you get to that next level," Scott continued. "You dont go from not making the playoffs to winning a championship. It just doesnt work that way. . Were headed in the right direction." Now the Spurs and their championship ring-laden trio of Duncan, Ginobili and Parker will be travelling to Los Angeles to face the Lakers in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals on Wednesday night. "People always talk about you being old because you dont dunk anymore or slash as fast as you used to slash, but were one of the smartest teams in the league and we have a very good coaching staff," said Robert Horry, whos looking to be part of an eighth championship team in 16 seasons. "We didnt make stupid mistakes tonight." West led the Hornets with 20 points, while Paul and Jannero Pargo each added 18. Chandler had 13 points and 15 rebounds for the Hornets, who cut a deficit as large as 17 down to three inside the final two minutes. While the Hornets managed to hold Duncan under 20 points by crowding the inside, his Spurs teammates combined for 12 three-pointers to keep alive their chance to win back-to-back titles for the first time. "We knew the shots were going to be there. It happened today that we just made more," said Ginobili, who made four three-pointers. "We just let it fly." The win also gave Spurs coach Gregg Popovich 100 playoff victories, moving him into a tie with Laarry Brown for third on the career list. Replica Anquan Boldin Jersey The Hornets had dominated the third quarters of their three previous home games in this series. This time, the Spurs, who have won four titles in the previous nine seasons, had an answer. It was their calling card: stingy defence. The Hornets, down 51-42 to open the period, could not manage consecutive baskets throughout the quarter, never getting closer than seven. New Orleans went nearly a three-minute stretch without a basket before Paul hit a pair of free throws to close the gap to 58-50. Michael Finley then responded with a three-pointer and Parker added a jumper, putting San Antonio up 63-50. New Orleans finally began to look overwhelmed by the magnitude of the moment, even missing open shots. Peja Stojakovic, who finished with a relatively low seven points, shot an airball on an open three-point attempt. West missed an open 12-footer. The Hornets shot 5-of-17 for the quarter. "What we did today was play better D in the third quarter," Popovich said. "We held them down and it really was about that for us." New Orleans continued to play solid defence inside, holding Duncan in check and limiting San Antonio to 6-of-18 shooting in the quarter. But that didnt help much with the Spurs hitting clutch shots from outside. Finley added another three, as did Horry, and Ginobilis free throws gave San Antonio a 71-54 lead late in the period. Buoyed by a home crowd that stood throughout the fourth quarter, the Hornets fought back to make a game of it, largely behind Pargo, who had done little in this series. He scored seven straight on four free throws sandwiched around a three-pointer, pulling the Hornets to 81-77 with 3:10 to go. Pargo made another three to cut it to 83-80 with about 1 1/2 minutes left, then attempted another for the tie with a minute left, but it rattled out. Parker drained a jumper on the other end with 50 seconds left to make it 85-80, and New Orleans could not recover. "Im glad thats over," Popovich said afterward. "The Hornets are an unbelievably tough team in every way you could imagine, and they had a fantastic year. I dont think theres any doubt their time will come." Notes: The Hornets fell to 0-5 in second-round series. . This marks the first time the Spurs have gotten past second round one season after winning a title, and the first time they won a series after losing the first two games. . Home teams were 22-3 in the second round of this seasons playoffs, with Detroit, the Lakers and Spurs getting the only road wins. . A replay review wiped out what initially was called as a three-shot foul at the first quarter horn, when Ginobili was called for blocking on Pauls half-court heave. The replay showed time expired just before the foul and the release of the shot. ' ' '
