Grizz leave no room for overtime; dump Spurs

The Memphis Grizzlies remember well the triple overtime game just a few games back.  Backed by a home crowd, the Grizzlies were fueled early on in the game with guard Mike Conelly scroing 16 points.  He would eventually finish with 30 points.

“That team has had our number for three or four years,” Conley said. “With or without their starters, they seem to always beat us. It’s a huge win for us at home and a huge statement. Hopefully, we can just continue building off of it.”

The Spurs do expect Point Guard Tony Parker to play tonight.  He did not play against the Grizzlies.

There is no rest for the defending champion Spurs as they overnight from Memphis back to San Antonio for a New Year’s Eve matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans.

The defending NBA Champion San Antonio Spurs have struggled this season with a rash of injuries to a number of players.  Their 19-13 record is representative of that.   They did get a boost when Guard Patty Mills returned to the floor in a 106-110 victory over the Houston Rockets Sunday evening.  Mills had eight points, all in the final quarter of the game.

“His energy, just his activity it was contagious,” San Antonio forward Tim Duncan said. “It was great for us; brought a huge spark to the team.”

The Spurs annual Rodeo Road Trip may just be what the Spurs need as they have normally done well on the nine game excursion from the confines of the AT&T Center.  the Rodeo Road Trip begins February 8th.

Spurs fall to Grizzlies after three overtimes

The Memphis Grizzlies had just ended a 16-game winning streak for the Golden State Warriors and came into San Antonio last night taking the Spurs into three overtimes before prevailing over the defending champs, 116-117.

There is no rest in sight for the defending champion Spurs as they face the Portland Trailblazers  in a rematch of an earlier game this week.  In the Blazers 108-95 win, they also lost center Robin Lopez, a key component of their offense.  Now the Spurs will be plenty tired and we should see a lot of the bench tonight.

“Regardless who’s on the floor, we gotta bring it,” Green said. “We gotta continue to win games. We put ourselves in a little hole here. We know what it takes. We trust one through 15 to get it done, and guys have to step up
