SAN ANTONIO -- With starting center Zaza Pachulia sitting behind the bench in street clothes Saturday night, the Warriors defeated the Spurs in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.
Pachulia quite likely will be in the same seat when the teams meet for Game 4 Monday night. Though he is listed as questionable, he did very little as the Warriors went through a light practice Sunday afternoon.
Pachulia has not fully participated in a practice since sustaining a right heel contusion last Tuesday in Game 2.

JaVale McGee started at center in Game 3 and posted 16 points, leading the offensive charge in a first half during which the Warriors were by turns sluggish and sloppy.
With the likelihood that Pachulia will be out for Game 4, it is anticipated that McGee would be called upon to make another start.
