The Spurs traveled to Memphis having protected their home court in the first two games of the series. This game would prove to be much different than the first two, as the Spurs failed to get their offense going and Memphis pounded the ball in the paint to pull away in the second half on their way to a 105-94 win. Kawhi Leonard led the Spurs with 18 points in 30 minutes, and LaMarcus Aldridge chipped in a double double with 16 points and 11 rebounds. Memphis’ classic “grit and grind” trio of Mike Conley, Zach Randolph, and Marc Gasol scored a combined 66 points.
San Antonio’s poor shooting and Memphis’ stars big night sunk the Spurs in Game 3.
