The Spurs closed the Rodeo Road Trip with a loss on their visit to Memphis. Despite doing a good enough job of staying close in the scoreboard for most of the game, they simply couldn’t contain Ja Morant at any point, as the Grizzlies’ star guard logged a career-high 52 points to lead his team to victory. The Silver and Black completed their eight-game road trip with a 4-4 record.
All eyes were on the Ja Morant vs. Dejounte Murray matchup to start the game, and early on it seemed like Murray was ready to make it interesting.
