The Spurs ended 2021 on a low note, beginning a what will be a seven-game road tri-p with a 118-105 loss to their division-leading rivals, the Memphis Grizzlies. After overcoming some adversity in the first half to keep things close, the Spurs offense fizzled out in second as the Grizzlies dominated the paint and offensive glass.
Derrick White and Jakob Poeltl had 15 points apiece as the only two starters in double figures, and Bryn Forbes provided another 15 off the bench. Ja Morant had 30 points to pace six Grizzlies in double figures.
Observations
- I’m just happy to have a Spurs game tonight.
