The NBA regular season is in the books and the San Antonio Spurs are set to face the seventh-seeded Memphis Grizzlies in the opening round of the NBA Playoffs Saturday.
For both teams, this isn’t exactly a new postseason match-up, as this meeting logs the fourth time the two teams face each other in the playoffs over the past seven years.
The Spurs split their regular season series with the Grizzlies 2-2, with each team winning on their home court. While the results of those games do not necessarily indicate how the playoff series will go, there are a few things we can expect to see based on how the regular season series went.
