The “Grit ‘N’ Grind” era started with a surprising 6 game victory over the Spurs. Ironically, it can all end against those same Spurs. The Memphis Grizzlies need to be at their best to pull the upset.
Season Series (2-2)
This matchup has been close all season. Both teams split the season series with each team winning two games at home.
Memphis Grizzlies handled San Antonio pretty easily in the first game, but Kawhi Leonard was unavailable. The Grizz took the second game, as both teams relatively healthy. The Spurs rode their defense to a home win in their third matchup.
