The Spurs faced off against a division rival in their final tune-up before the regular season. Although these are not yesterday’s Grizzlies with Marc Gasol and Mike Conley gone, it still felt like a classic Grit ‘n Grind game between the two clubs. It was low-scoring, sloppy, and defensive-oriented, but the Spurs still came away with the 104-91 victory despite a poor shooting night.
- Gregg Popovich went with the same starting line-up as he did against Houston, with Trey Lyles starting in place of Jakob Poeltl.
