The Grizzlies gave the Spurs all they could handle for about 45 minutes of tonight’s game, but Tony Parker and Kawhi Leonard made key plays down the stretch as they closed out the Grizzlies on the road to win their first round series in six games.
The first quarter started off looking good for the Silver and Black as they rushed out to an 8-2 lead behind playoff Tony Parker’s scoring. But Vince Carter brought them back with clutch shots. The Grizzlies got unexpected contributions from their bench with Andrew Harrison providing a pair of triples.
