My goodness. What a basketball series.
For a matchup featuring two small-market teams and Kawhi Leonard, Mike Conley and Marc Gasol as its headliners, the San Antonio Spurs’ six-game series win over the Memphis Grizzlies may have been the most compelling first-round series of them all.
Game 4 is already an instant playoff classic, a basketball game that evolved into a basketball masterclass in the fourth quarter between Kawhi and Conley, the two quietest stars in the league exchanging haymakers until one of them hit the mat.
