SAN ANTONIO – In Game 1, Danny Green did it with his defense. In Game 2, it was his shooting that stood out.
Green scored 12 points on 4 of 5 from 3-point range to help the Spurs claim a 96-82 win over Memphis on Monday night and secure a 2-0 lead in their first-round playoff series.
In Game 1’s 111-82 win, Green scored just two points after missing both of his 3-point attempts. But that didn’t stop him from standing out defensively with four blocks, a steal and a shut-down effort on Memphis star point guard Mike Conley, who was held to 13 points, seven below his season average.
