The Memphis Grizzlies meet the San Antonio Spurs in the first round of the NBA's Western Conference Playoffs, with Game 1 on Sunday, April 17, 2016 at AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas.
The Grizzlies looked like they could finish fifth even after the crushing injuries to Marc Gasol and Mike Conley, but a four-game losing streak to end the season dropped them down to seventh and a much-tougher matchup with the Spurs.
Not an impossible, one. The Grizzlies beat even longer odds to oust the Spurs five years ago, when the Spurs were the No. 1 seed in the West and eighth-seeded Memphis stunned them in the opening round.
