Another inferior, short-handed opponent, another Spurs blowout victory. They’re done taking lesser teams lightly as they continued their trend of blowing everyone out, both good and bad. This time, the Memphis Grizzlies were the victim. While the Spurs admittedly got complacent and took the second quarter off after a 38-19 start, they came back out with renewed focus to put the game away for good in the third, which was on massive highlight reel of dunks and threes, for the 123-98 win.
Victor Wembanyama led seven Spurs in double figures with 19 points, 15 rebounds, 7 blocks, 3 assists and 3 steals. (The odds of a triple-double and/or 5x5 game would have been pretty decent had he be needed in the fourth quarter.) GG Jackson led the severely short-handed Grizzles with 20 points and 7 rebounds.
