MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Tony Parker groaned in discomfort from the visitor’s locker room at FedExForum, having plunged both feet into an orange Gatorade cooler filled to the brim with ice water.
At least now something would finally cool off Parker after the point guard combined with Kawhi Leonard to burn the Memphis Grizzlies into elimination Thursday, as the duo combined for 56 points in the San Antonio Spurs' 103-96 victory in Game 6 of the Western Conference playoffs.
The victory pushes the Spurs into the Western Conference semifinals, where they host the Houston Rockets on Monday in Game 1 of that series.
