If we are to believe that one good turn deserves another, then I think it’s safe to say that it wouldn’t be a terribly difficult task to come to terms with San Antonio’s loss to the Memphis Grizzlies last night. After a recent series of unexpectedly good turns for the Spurs (seemingly set off by an absolute shellacking of the very team in question), it was simply the Grizzlies’ turn to have some good fortune of their own. And did they ever.
No doubt fueled in large part by the thirty-point pre-Christmas beat-down of a few weeks ago, they entered the arena with a ferocity that lacked only in a symbolic foaming of the mouth.
