Friday produced a trio of newsy Nuggets nuggets Danilo Gallinari (6'9''-SF-88, agency: Players Group) may return as soon as December from knee surgery, Andre Iguodala (6'6''-SF-84, college: Arizona) will opt out of his contract and become a free agent and Lionel Hollins will interview to be the teams head coach As for Iguodala, it wasnt a shock that he decided to opt out of his contract. Now, its just a question of whether he will re-sign with Denver. The defensive-minded shooting guard would have made close to $16 million this coming season, but instead he chose the free-agent market in July. If anything, its a sign that hes considering other teams, though Denver can offer Iguodala a five-year deal while other teams can offer at most a four-year contract. Nuggets president Josh Kroenke has spoken highly of Iguodala and has said he will make a push to try to bring him back. Courtesy of: insidehoops.com

San Antonio S. - Miami Heat 114-104 The San Antonio Spurs are one win away from a fifth National Basketball Association title after a 114-104 victory against the defending-champion Miami Heat. Emanuel Ginobili (6'6''-SG-77, agency: Interperformances) made his first start for the Spurs this season and contributed 24 points, 10 assists and a spark for San Antonio's offense last night at the AT&T Center. Danny Green (6'6''-G/F-87, college: N.Carolina) hit six three-pointers to set a NBA Finals record with 25 in the series, Tony Parker (6'2''-PG-82) had 26 points and Tim Duncan (6'11''-F/C-76, college: Wake Forest) added 17 points and 12 rebounds to help the Spurs grab a three-games-to-two lead in the best-of-seven NBA Finals. The series returns to Miami for Game 6 tomorrow. 'We all knew how important this game was and we needed a win,' Emanuel Ginobili said. 'We couldn't go to Miami needing both games. So a great opportunity now, one win away.' The Heat won Games 2 and 4 after falling behind 1-0 and 2-1 in the series and need another victory to force a decisive seventh game on June 20 in Miami. The Heat last lost back-to-back games on Jan. 8 and 10, yet Miami also hasn't won consecutive playoff games since its second-round series against the Chicago Bulls. LeBron James (6'8''-SF-84) and Dwyane Wade (6'4''-G-82, college: Marquette) each scored 25 points last night for the Heat, while Ray Allen had 21 points off the bench. After a 16-point home loss in Game 4, the Spurs jumped out to an early lead and then withstood several runs by the Heat. San Antonio closed the first quarter with a 15-2 scoring run to break open a 17-17 tie and open a 32-19 lead it wouldn't relinquish. Each time Miami rallied, the Spurs answered. When the Heat pulled within 61-60 with 10:42 remaining in the third quarter, the Spurs responded with seven straight points, including a three-pointer by Green, who broke Allen's record of 22 three-pointers in an NBA Finals series. After the Heat again cut the deficit to one point, at 75-74, the Spurs closed the third quarter with a 12-1 run fueled by seven points from Emanuel Ginobili, who became the first player to start in the NBA Finals after not starting a game all season since Marcus Camby for the New York Knicks in 1999. 'We tried to really push the pace,' Emanuel Ginobili said. San Antonio, which made 60 percent of its shots, also scored the first seven points of the fourth quarter and extended its advantage to as many 20 points. 'Once we got it back to one and felt we weathered the storm, we missed a couple shots we're accustomed to making and it snowballed down the hill from there,' Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said at his post-game news conference. 'We just didn't show the mental resolve we needed to.' The Heat got within 109-100 with 2:01 left before Parker hit a driving layup and Green nailed another three-pointer to finish with 24 points. Since the Spurs won Game 1 of the series 92-88, the past four games have been decided by an average of 20.3 points. San Antonio's last title came after the 2006-07 season, while the Spurs also won championships in 1999, 2003 and 2005. Courtesy of: businessweek.com

General Manager John Hammond announced today that Bob Bender and Nick Van Exel will join Larry Drew 's staff as assistant coaches for the Milwaukee Bucks. Bender joins the Bucks after nine seasons with the Atlanta Hawks, including the last three with Drew as head coach. Van Exel also worked with Drew as a member of the Hawks staff from 2010-12 as the player development instructor. Bob and Nick were both important pieces of my staff in Atlanta, and Im excited that they are joining me on the bench in Milwaukee, said Drew. Bobs merits as a coach have been proven through his past experience, and Nicks successful career in the NBA gives him a strong platform to mentor and coach our players. They will be dedicated to the task of teaching and building up our young men in order for the Bucks to put a hard-working, committed team on the court. Prior to his time on Atlantas staff, Bender was with the Philadelphia 76ers from 2002-04, first as their assistant coach/player development and then as an assistant coach on the bench. His coaching career began as an assistant under Mike Krzyzewski at Duke, and he continued in the college ranks for 13 years. Bender was first named a head coach at Illinois State in 1990, where he earned two Missouri Valley Conference Championships, one conference tournament title and an NCAA Tournament berth. He then spent nine years at the University of Washington (1994-2001), where he directed the Huskies to four consecutive appearances in the NCAA Tournament from 1996 to 1999. Bender was named the Pac-10 Coach of the Year in 1996. A Duke graduate and Quantico, Va., native, Bender is the only individual to play on two different teams in two different NCAA Championship games one as a freshman on Bob Knights undefeated 1976 Indiana team and the other as a guard at Duke in the 1978 title game against Kentucky. He was drafted by the San Diego Clippers in the sixth round before his senior year, but did not play. Kenosha, Wis., native Van Exel enjoyed a 13-year career as a player in the NBA, including 76 playoff games and one All-Star appearance (1998) from 1993-2006. He put up career averages of 14.4 points, 6.6 assists per game and 2.9 rebounds per game. Van Exel was selected by the L.A. Lakers in the second round of the 1993 NBA Draft (37th overall) and was named to the NBAs All-Rookie team in 1994. Prior to his two seasons as the Hawks player development instructor, Van Exel worked as an assistant coach at Texas Southern University during the 2009-10 season. Courtesy of: www.insidehoops.com
