Swept in the Dust

Game 4 of the playoffs, Memphis Grizzlies versus San Antonio Spurs, had a cheerless ending on last night as the Spurs walk into the finals with a 4-0 series record.  The first half ended with the Grizz only being able to account for less than 15 shots while the Spurs enclosed 24 made shots.  Offense became very weak and the Spurs strength overpowered the Grizz defense.  Moving into the second quarter with 10 minutes left on the clock, Zebo, Zack Randolph, hadn’t made any shots from the nine minutes he had been on the court and Conley was only able to accumulate 2 points within his 10 minutes of game play.  Towards the end of the 2^nd quarter, Tony Parker was at 10 assists on 18 field goals.  As a whole, Memphis didn’t take care of the ball…shots were thrown up instead of making more smart decisions with smooth transitions. The half ended with 38 points on the Spurs end and 44 on the Grizz end, bringing the Grizz down by 6.  As for the third quarter the Grizz played right along side the Spurs adding 28 points to the boards.  Running down the clock, fourth quarter, Memphis just couldn’t pull through…leaving the Spurs to celebrate a 4-0 run into the 2013 NBA Finals.  Although down and out, the Grizz don't Bluff...this is an opening for a great future! Opponents beware, the Grizz are coming for you next season!
