The Spurs fought hard to make it suspenseful but couldn’t complete the upset against the Grizzlies. San Antonio had opportunities to get the win at the end of regulation and overtime, but the ball refused to fall and they lost 124-122 against Memphis to drop to 5-7 for the season.
It wasn’t an auspicious start for the Silver and Black, as the Grizzlies scored immediately after the tip-off while the Spurs missed a couple of bunnies. Against an opponent like Memphis who has a clear talent advantage even little mistakes cost, and early on San Antonio paid for them.
