With Kawhi Leonard out with a thigh contusion, the Spurs struggled to score against the stout Grizzlies defense in Memphis tonight. Despite their struggles for most of the first three quarters, the Silver and Black still were in the game with a quarter, but a dismal performance from the Spurs’ offense, scoring just 9 points in the quarter doomed them to a loss. The Grizzlies defense completely shut down the Spurs late and at the end it wasn’t even close as Mike Conley, Zach Randolph and the Grizzlies walked off with an easy win.
Q1—Both teams were cold to start the game, and halfway through the first the score was tied at 6 each.
