Spurs show the hard work still ahead in play-in loss to Grizzlies

The Spurs’ playoff hopes ended in the first play-in game in Memphis. With standout performances from Jonas Valanciunas and Dillon Brooks, the Grizzlies punched their ticket to the second round of the playin after a close 100-96 win.

The fact that there was some suspense as to the outcome of the game would have been hard to believe after the first quarter. The very first possession was auspicious for the Silver and Black, as Dejounte Murray picked Ja Morant’s pocket and dunked on the break, but that would be the only moment in which San Antonio looked in control.
