Grizzlies Beat Spurs Earn Historic First Playoff Win


0-12, those were the numbers looking at the Memphis Grizzlies franchise. During three all time playoff appearances Memphis were swept. Shane Battier were on those teams, how poetic he hit a three pointer to give the Grizzlies the lead for good. Battier was dealt back to Memphis during this seasons trade deadline. Richard Jefferson of the Spurs had an open look at a three, he missed as time expired. Memphis #8 seed took a 1-0 series lead over #1 San Antonio during the Western Conference Round 1 match up. San Antonio is vying for it's 5Th overall championship. Zaxk Randolph and Marc Gasol carried Memphis throughout the game with their points in the paint and rebounding. San Antonio will look to bounce back in Game 2, prior to the series heading to Memphis for Games 3 & 4.
