Spurs management and players make moves

When the Kevin Durant sweepstakes began, the San Antonio Spurs know their chances were not great.  But in the Spurs way of doing things, they were again silently looking at Bulls center Pau Gasol and hoping that maybe this was the year they could finally land the Spanish former third overall draft pick.

Spurs put away Grizzlies, await winner of Thunder/Mavericks

The San Antonio Spurs have completed a sweep of their first round opponent, only their ninth in franchise history, and sent the Memphis Grizzlies home for the summer with a 116-95 game four in Memphis.

“It wasn’t a fair fight,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “Whoever was available came out and played, and they executed to the best of their ability. They played with a lot of heart and a lot of fortitude.”

The Spurs were again led in scoring by Kawhi Leonard with 21 points and LaMarcus Aldridge’s 10 rebounds.  Leonard has led the team in scoring for the series with a 21.2 average while Aldridge led in rebounding with 8.5 per game and TP9 in assists with 5.3 per game.

The Spurs will now await the winner of the Thunder/Mavericks match up.  The Thunder lead the series three games to one and could close it out tonight
