Behind big performances from Jonathan Simmons and Erik Murphy, the Austin Spurs did just enough to clinch the first round series win over the Bakersfield Jam 90-88.
With the win, the Spurs advance to the Western Conference Finals against a formidable Santa Cruz Warriors team that swept the Oklahoma City Blue for the second round berth.
The Spurs once again got out to a quick start, putting up 30 first quarter points to give them an early seven point lead. But the Jam would keep it close the remainder of the game and made a rally in the fourth to try to extend their series.
