The Spurs haven’t beaten the Memphis Grizzlies this season. The only other team the Spurs have yet to beat is the New York Knicks, a team they will play on Saturday night.
The only difference? One team is 12th place in the Eastern Conference, and the other team is a potential first round playoff matchup.
