Spurs vs Grizzlies Game 4 and Game 5

     According to Caplan (2013), the Spurs beat the Grizzlies again to make the series 3-0 (p. n.d.). In game 3 the spurs scored 104 while the Grizzlies only scored 93. Throughout the game the Spurs kept the lead and never gave the Grizzlies a chance to come back. Tony Parker scored 26 points and Mike Conley scored only 20 points. The Spurs outscored them once again and the coach was disappointed that they couldn't find a way to stop them.
   
     According to Marlon (2013), the Spurs are now finally in the Finals once again for a chance to win the championship (p. n.d.). When the NBA reporter said no team has ever come back from a 3-0 series in the playoffs, it might have affected the Grizzlies' confidence because they played very poorly. The main scorers were Tony Parker with 36 points and Quincy Pondexter with 22 points. The Grizzlies' all stars, Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph, didn't show up when they were needed and they haven't played well against the Spurs. The Spurs swept the Grizzlies in a 4-0 series and they will be facing either the Miami Heat or Indiana Pacers in the Finals. The Spurs are on a winning streak and have a high chance of winning it all.
