Winners and Losers: Memphis Grizzlies vs. San Antonio Spurs
By Ethan Becker
The Memphis Grizzlies dropped their second seeding game in a row, this time to the San Antonio Spurs. What are some of the high and low points of the game?
When it comes to the Memphis Grizzlies, the start to the Orlando seeding project hasn’t gone nearly as well as the team had hoped while they were waiting in hiatus. Memphis has dropped two straight games, first to the Portland Trail Blazers and then most recently to the San Antonio Spurs.
What’s worse is that both of those games were easily winnable for Memphis, and were decided by five points or less. Loses like that sting, and they have a way of sticking with young teams.
Now, with the Pelicans on the horizon, the Grizzlies need to drop the bad from this game from their mind. Though, it might be helpful for them to hold on to the good. Those positive memories can give a young team like Memphis a boost, and help propel them out of this losing streak.
But what are those good and bad things? What aspects of this game should Memphis carry forward, and which ones are best left in the past?
