According to sources in the organization, Spurs officials contacted the league to complain about Barbosa hitting Ginobili in the face with an open hand, then slamming his head on the court.

We are really pushing it right now. We already know Grant Hill is very likely not to play tonight, and now we are trying to get rid of Barbosa? It's a competitive series and there are going to be hard plays. The Spurs FO just needs to let both teams play a fair series.
