How an assertive Derrick White almost led the Spurs to victory against the Grizzlies

For a brief stretch of the 4th quarter of their disappointing loss to the Grizzlies on Tony Parker’s Jersey Retirement night, the Spurs looked like a team intent on snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. After getting outplayed on both ends of the floor for the better part of 3 quarters, the home team found a rhythm, outscoring the visitors 25-10 through the first 7 minutes and change of the final frame.

Derrick White orchestrated the last 7-0 stretch of that run almost single-handedly, with 3 assists on offense and a layup saving block on the other end.
