Spurs Vs. Grizzlies: Memphis The Ones That Look Like Playoff Veterans

Mike Conley led a balanced attack, finishing with 15 points and seven assists, as the Memphis Grizzlies handled the San Antonio Spurs, 104-86, in Game 4 of the Western Conference quarterfinals.

Darrell Arthur supplied 14 points off the bench and Tony Allen netted 12 in a starting role for Memphis, which now has a commanding 3-1 lead in the series and will try to close it out on Wednesday in San Antonio.

It's a shock for many reasons, not the least of which is that we're talking about the Spurs. Other than the Lakers, who's more playoff-tested than the Spurs?

The Spurs fell apart in the third quarter. They turned the ball over seven times after doing so a total of eight times in the first half. The Spurs took just two free throws in the entire quarter. Meanwhile, Memphis was able to dominate the second-half thanks to hot shooting and a bewildered Spurs defense.

Wednesday, the Grizzlies will be the fourth No. 8 seed to take a two-game advantage into a potential series clincher since 1984 and look to be the first 8-seed to win a first-round series since Golden State did it in 2007.
