<p>Two days rest proved to be a bit too beneficial for the ageless Spurs in to Game Two. San Antonio set the tone early, and the Jazz never recovered. It was a dominating performance on a night honoring both Gregg Popovich&#8217;s second Coach of the Year Award and the Austin Toros winning the NBA D-League championship.</p>
<p>So as every other team is trying to get in to postseason form, Popovich&#8217;s squad seemed to already be there Wednesday night. Honestly, San Antonio has looked that way for all of April, and it looks like it has carried over in to May.</p>
<p><strong>James Anderson,</strong> SG 9:42 MIN | 2-5 FG | 0-0 FT | 1 REB | 1 AST | 4 PTS | -5</p>
<p>He made some typical Anderson-like plays, but he didn&#8217;t ruin the blowout. <em>Grade: C</em></p>
<p><strong>DeJuan Blair,</strong> C  23:25 MIN | 5-8 FG | 0-0 FT | 7 REB | 2 AST | 10 PTS | -5</p>
<p>This was a decent outing for D-Blair, but obviously losing playing time with Diaw built better to handle Utah&#8217;s bigs. <em>Grade: C+</em></p>
<p><strong>Matt Bonner,</strong> PF 8:49 MIN | 0-1 FG | 0-0 FT | 0 REB | 0 AST | 0 PTS | -5</p>
<p>Other than a hard hit to the ground, Bonner was pretty non-existent in this one. <em>Grade: C</em></p>
<p><strong>Boris Diaw,</strong> PF 28:13 MIN | 5-6 FG | 0-0 FT | 6 REB | 4 AST | 11 PTS | +41</p>
<p>Need I say more with that plus/minus? Diaw continuing to be the extra piece Spurs have been missing. <em>Grade: A</em></p>
<p><strong>Tim Duncan,</strong> C 26:57 MIN | 5-10 FG | 2-2 FT | 13 REB | 1 AST | 12 PTS | +36</p>
<p>The Big Fundamental once again providing just enough and crashing the boards well. Nothing to complain about. <em>Grade: A</em></p>
<p><strong>Manu Ginobili,</strong> SG 18:50 MIN | 2-6 FG | 0-0 FT | 2 REB | 3 AST | 4 PTS | +2</p>
<p>He might as well have taken the night off. Manu still looks out of sync, or he&#8217;s just saving his energy for a more worthy team. <em>Grade: C+</em></p>
<p><strong>Danny Green,</strong> G 21:18 MIN | 5-8 FG | 0-0 FT | 4 REB | 2 AST | 13 PTS | +31</p>
<p>Green&#8217;s versatility has to be frustrating for any team that has to deal with him. <em>Grade: A-</em></p>
<p><strong>Stephen Jackson,</strong> SG 21:27 MIN | 2-8 FG | 0-0 FT | 2 REB | 3 AST | 5 PTS | -2</p>
<p>Other than a three-ball to keep piling on the points, Jackson went quietly in this one. <em>Grade: B-</em></p>
<p><strong>Kawhi Leonard,</strong> SF 24:43 MIN | 6-7 FG | 2-2 FT | 3 REB | 1 AST | 17 PTS | +36</p>
<p>He&#8217;s the future. For just a rookie, he&#8217;s continued to make a huge impact, and you can only imagine how good the Spurs could&#8217;ve been last year if you interchanged RJ with Kawhi. <em>Grade: A+</em></p>
<p><strong>Patrick Mills,</strong> PG 14:06 MIN | 4-5 FG | 0-0 FT | 1 REB | 1 AST | 9 PTS | -3</p>
<p>Patty stepped in the fourth to finish off the rout, giving Tony Parker&#8217;s feet more time to rest for Game Three Saturday. <em>Grade: B</em></p>
<p><strong>Gary Neal,</strong> PG 14:47 MIN | 5-8 FG | 0-0 FT | 1 REB | 1 AST | 11 PTS | -5</p>
<p>Neal didn&#8217;t exactly go off from long range, but while getting over that stinger, Neal is still a serviceable back-up. <em>Grade: B-</em></p>
<p><strong>Tony Parker,</strong> PG 27:43 MIN | 6-10 FG | 6-6 FT | 4 REB | 9 AST | 18 PTS | +34</p>
<p>San Antonio&#8217;s overly optimistic MVP campaign for TP9 continues. Parker completely clowned the Jazz. <em>Grade: A+</em></p>
<p><strong>Conclusion.</strong> Everything went right for the Spurs, and now they get another two days off after going up 2-0 on Utah.</p>
