One year ago, the San Antonio Spurs were in this exact same position, as they took the first two games of the Western Conference Finals at home. However, this time around, the opposition has transitioned from the Oklahoma City Thunder to the Memphis Grizzlies.
After those two wins, the tables started turning rapidly. The Thunder won the next four straight, earning a spot in the finals. The Spurs were left scratching their heads, trying to figure out what went wrong.
This year, the Grizzlies will be trying to befuddle those same Spurs. After falling down 0-2 in the series, Memphis returns home to FedExForum, where it is 5-0 this postseason.
San Antonio simply torched the Grizzlies in Game 1. Memphis clearly wasn't prepared for the level of competition, and fell, 105-83. Zach Randolph stood out in a bad way, going just 1-of-8 for two points. Tony Parker and Kawhi Leonard had their way on offense, shooting a combined 16-of-24 for 38 points.
