Spurs-Grizzlies Preview

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) Go ahead and call the San Antonio Spurs old. They're also experienced enough to know what to do only a win away from their first NBA Finals berth since 2007.

Finish off the Memphis Grizzlies.

"Absolutely, absolutely," Spurs center Tim Duncan said Sunday before a short practice. "We know they're not going to lay down. We're going to have to beat them. We understand what we have going here, and we understand that we want to finish is as quickly as we can."

The Spurs wasted a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference final a year ago when Oklahoma City won four straight games.

They know time is running out for their current Big Three, featuring the 37-year-old Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili along with coach Gregg Popovich. The franchise is in its 16th straight postseason has four NBA titles but hasn't played in the Finals since 2007 at a time when Ginobili recalls the Spurs were being called old even then.

San Antonio are up 3-0 after rallying from an 18-point deficit in the first quarter Saturday night and winning 104-93 in overtime. Duncan, Parker and Ginobili took turns scoring points in the fourth quarter and beyond after the Spurs played so ugly in the first 12 minutes that Ginobili said Sunday he still wasn't sure how they won.

It certainly didn't hurt that the Spurs had a three-day layoff between Games 2 and 3 with both going to overtime. If they win Game 4 on Monday night and sweep the Grizzlies on out of the postseason, the Spurs can rest up until Game 1 of the NBA Finals tips off June 6.

"We want to finish as soon as we can for a lot of different reasons," Parker said. "I think that we should give them no hope, and it's always sweet to win on the road. I'm pretty sure the whole team understands that we have to keep taking nothing for granted and keep playing our game and try to finish tomorrow.

The Grizzlies find themselves in the exact same position as this franchise's first postseason in 2004 - trying to avoid being swept by the Spurs. San Antonio finished off that sweep, and history shows all 107 teams leading 3-0 in a best-of-seven series have never lost.

But Memphis is the first team in NBA history to fall behind 0-2 and win four straight by double digits.

The Grizzlies did just that in the first round in knocking off the Clippers, then ousted the West's No. 1 seed in Oklahoma City. Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins played for Portland when the Trail Blazers fell behind 0-2 against Philadelphia in the 1977 NBA Finals and won four straight for the title.

"My hope though is for us to not listen to you guys and say that it's never been done before, that it's just a matter of time before the series is over and to reach down in their soul and dig for something that they didn't know they had because that's what you have to do to win a championship," Hollins said.

The Grizzlies know they easily could be up 2-1 right now if they just finished in regulation each of the past two games. Guard Mike Conley missed the basket on a drive at the buzzer when Memphis had the ball last Saturday night. The team that set the NBA record once losing its first 12 playoff games hasn't been swept in the postseason since 2006.

"We have a lot of pride in this team, in this city," Conley said. "It's more than just basketball here, and we owe it to ourselves, owe it to the fans to not get swept and get embarrassed on our home court."

The Grizzlies' biggest challenge is shooting better, both overall and at the free throw line. They shot only 39.2 percent (38 of 97) Saturday night and would not have needed overtime if they hadn't gone 10 of 18 at the free throw line. Zach Randolph is only 7 of 16 at the line after not even getting a free throw attempt in Game 1.

Randolph has an NBA-best seven double-doubles this postseason but isn't scoring as he did against the Clippers or Thunder. Randolph went 1 of 4 in the fourth quarter and overtime combined Saturday night.

"We ain't been down like this, 0-3, so it's a different mindset," Randolph said. "It's now do or die. We've got to come out tomorrow and come out like we came out last game and just sustain it and not break down towards the end of the game."

The Spurs have been able to frustrate Randolph down low and limit his easy putbacks. The Grizzlies got 19 offensive rebounds but only converted those into 21 points.

With Tiago Splitter and Matt Bonner helping defend Randolph, Duncan looked much more like the two-time MVP of 2002 and 2003. He played 44 minutes, scored the first five points in overtime and finished with a double-double on 24 points and 10 rebounds. He also had five assists and two blocks.

"Timmy has been a consummate professional from the day he got into the league," Popovich said. "This isn't anything new for him, playing with the passion he's playing with. He loves basketball, he loves his teammates, and he decided again he needed to be more aggressive when the overtime period came."

The same Spurs who scored only 13 points in the first quarter outscored the Grizzlies 18-7 in overtime with Duncan scoring seven. That puts San Antonio on the verge of getting Duncan back to the Finals possibly for the last time in his career.

"That'd be unbelievable," Parker said. "It'd be amazing, and hopefully I can talk about it more after we win tomorrow. Let's focus on tomorrow, and then we got what, 10 days to talk about that?"

Notes: Workers got busy as soon as Game 3 wrapped up Saturday night taking down equipment, flipping the basketball arena to be ready for a concert by Paul McCartney on Sunday night. They had much of the stage in place as the Grizzlies began practice, but they will have to flip everything back for Monday's morning shootaround with Game 4 on Monday night.

Spurs advance to Finals, sweep Grizzlies 93-86

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) Go ahead and count out the San Antonio Spurs as simply too old to win another title with Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and coach Gregg Popovich.

They're back anyway with the chance they've wanted so very much the past six years.

Parker scored 37 points in his best game this postseason, and the San Antonio Spurs finished off a sweep Monday night of the Memphis Grizzlies with a 93-86 win on Monday night for their fifth Western Conference title.

"It's a great feeling," Parker said as he sat with the Western Conference trophy perched in front of him.

"Since last year, I promised to him (Duncan) that we will go back, go back to the Finals and get an opportunity to win the whole thing and I'm trying to do my best, try to be aggressive every night. I think everybody on the team, we really want to do it for him. We win the West and now it's one more step. This is the hardest one."

The Spurs now wait for either Miami or Indiana having swept two of their three opponents already this postseason, this the first sweep in a conference final since the Nets did it to Detroit in 2003. They also have won six straight in these playoffs, handing two straight losses to a team that had been undefeated on their own court in their best postseason in franchise history.

Memphis finished off its best season ever swept by the very same franchise that needed four games to knock them out of their first playoff appearance back in 2004.

"We will be back," Grizzlies guard Mike Conley said.

Parker had his best game this postseason as he hit 15 of 21 and all six at the free throw line earning the Spurs and Duncan plenty of rest before Game 1 of the Finals on June 6.

"He's been amazing," Duncan said of Parker. "Every year he gets better and better and better. He's been carrying us. You can see tonight he carried us the entire game."

Duncan hugged Ginobili before heading off the court, celebrating the chance at a title that slipped away a year ago when the Spurs blew a 2-0 lead to Oklahoma City losing four straight. The 37-year-old Duncan finished with 15 points and eight rebounds. Kawhi Leonard added 11.

"We want to get back there," Duncan said of making the finals. "We've had some really close years where we fell right on the verge of getting back. It feels like forever since we've been there."

Popovich said the fact they are back in the finals after a six-year drought is something he'll think about once he hits the bed, though he already felt pretty good.

"You don't expect that to happen maybe this late in the game with the same group," Popovich said. "It's tough to do, to maintain something that long. But it just shows the character of those three guys and their ability to play with whoever else is brought in around them. They deserve a lot of credit for that."

Memphis coach Lionel Hollins had talked about how his Grizzlies needed to dig deep for something they didn't know they had to take the first step back into this series. But they couldn't outshoot the Spurs and got beaten once again at their own inside game.

"We just never could gain control of the paint," Hollins said. "They controlled the paint."

That the Spurs did as they shot 51.3 percent (39 of 76) from the floor and outscored Memphis 52-32 in the paint, even though the Grizzlies had a 41-34 edge on the boards. Memphis led only briefly and the last at 6-4 as the Spurs took control early.

Memphis stayed close only by getting to the free throw line, making more shots there (17 of 24) than San Antonio took (12 of 13). The Grizzlies also got a career-high 22 points from reserve Quincy Pondexter, 18 of those in the second half. Pondexter was the only player from Memphis to shoot over .500. Zach Randolph finished with 13, continuing his struggles at the line where he was 5 of 8, and Marc Gasol had 14.

"We learned that winning isn't easy and winning championships is one of the hardest things you can possibly do," Pondexter said. "I think our guys really dug deep to get as far as we did, and San Antonio's a tremendous team. We're going to take a couple pages out of their book."

Duncan had taken care of the Grizzlies scoring the big points in overtime in each of the last two games. Parker took over this time as he hit 14 of his first 18 shots, and he hit the biggest shot with 9:15 left when he knocked down his lone 3-pointer over the outstretched arms of both Tony Allen and Randolph after Memphis gotten within 76-73 with fans sensing the most life out of the Grizzlies all night long.

Parker and Duncan took turns making buckets before Parker got hit in the eye by Gasol's outstretched hand after missing a shot. When Parker returned with 4:43 left, Gasol went over to him and Parker told him he was fine. Parker then hit a jumper with 4:13 remaining for an 89-81 lead.

"He was outstanding the whole series, and he controlled the series with his penetration," Hollins said of Parker. "He made shots, made plays. One game he has 18 assists, today he has 37 points. He was huge. But their team played well. You've got to give them credit."

The Grizzlies made one last run and got within three one last time when Gasol scored on a runner in the lane with 48.7 seconds left at 89-86. But Parker hit four free throws in the final 29.7 seconds to seal the victory for San Antonio and its first Western Conference title since the Spurs' last NBA title in 2007.

The Spurs made it impossible for Memphis to get off to a quick start as they had more points in the paint (16) than the Grizzlies scored in the first quarter as San Antonio went up 24-14 shooting 52.4 percent (11 of 21).

The Spurs cooled off a bit in the second quarter, missing six of seven shots in a stretch. Memphis got into the bonus early, and the Grizzlies used the free throw line to keep San Antonio from doubling up its lead by hitting 8 of 10 at the line. Even Randolph, who has struggled mightily at the line in this series, breathed a sigh of a relief when his first attempt went down, and he knocked down two straight.

The Grizzlies also got a couple 3s from Bayless, the second after Memphis got its best break of the first half when officials called a 5-second call on the Spurs inbounding the ball. Danny Green missed his would-be buzzer beater, leaving the Spurs up just 44-38.

Gasol's frustration spilled over in the third quarter as he headed to the bench for a timeout when he smacked the press table with both hands. He also went to his knees when officials blew their whistles after he rebounded a miss. But Pondexter, who missed 23 games to a sprained left knee suffered Dec. 29 against Denver, kept the Grizzlies close almost singlehandedly as he scored 12 points in the third.

"We're going to be better because we played against, to me, one of the greatest teams there's been in the past 15 years," Gasol said.

Notes: Parker's previous best this postseason came in Game 3 when he had 32 points against Golden State in the semifinals. ... Teams are now 108-0 when leading a series 3-0. ... The Spurs now are 11-1 in closeout games since their last title in 2007. .. The Grizzlies had owner Robert Pera in the stands for only the second home game this season. ... The Spurs missed their first eight 3-pointers before Green finally hit in the third quarter.

Notebook: Spurs 93, Grizzlies 86

Marlon W. Morgan, for NBA.com
Posted Tue May 28, 2013 1:02 AM - Updated Tue May 28, 2013 1:02 AM

THE FACTS: Tony Parker scored a game-high 37 points and had six assists to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a 93-86 win over the Memphis Grizzlies Monday night at FedExForum, giving them a sweep in the Western Conference finals. The Spurs await the winner of the Eastern Conference finals between Miami and Indiana as they prepare to make their first trip to the NBA Finals since winning the championship in 2007.

QUOTABLE: "It's an unbelievable feeling. It's really hard to go to the Finals and win a championship. For me, personally, I was 21 when I won my first title and you think it's easy and you're going to go back every year. In 2007, I won my third one in five years. Six years goes by and every year it gets tougher and tougher. Every team wants to beat you. That's why it's even more special to go back after all these years and be playing at a high level with the same coach and the same 'Big Three.'"

-- Tony Parker

THE STAT: The Spurs held the Grizzlies to 37-percent shooting (32-for-86) Monday night. It was the third straight game they held the Grizzlies to under 40-percent shooting.

TURNING POINT: The Grizzlies used a late 5-0 spurt to pull to within 89-86 with 48.7 seconds left in the game. But Parker, like he had done repeatedly throughout the game, halted the run with a pair of free throws with 29.7 seconds to go. The Grizzlies failed to score the rest of the game.

HOT: Parker was magnificent throughout the series. He averaged 24.5 points and 9.5 assists. In the first two games of the series, the Grizzlies helped when Parker penetrated and he dished to wide-open teammates for easy 3-pointers which was how he tallied 18 assists in Game 2. The Grizzlies stayed with the shooters in the final two games, allowing Parker to get to the basket almost whenever he wanted.

NOT: Zach Randolph capped a frustrating series with 13 points on 4-for-13 shooting from the floor, to go with eight rebounds. Tim Duncan and Tiago Splitter took turns making life miserable for the All-Star forward who dominated in the first two rounds of the playoffs. Randolph averaged just 11 points a game against the Spurs. In the first two rounds, he averaged 19.7 points.

QUOTABLE II: "I just think we learned that winning isn't easy and winning championships is one of the hardest things you can possibly do. I think our guys really dug deep to get as far as we did, and San Antonio is a tremendous team. We're going to take a couple of pages out of their book and move on. Hopefully, we do a lot better next year."

--Memphis forward Quincy Pondexter, who led the Grizzlies with a career-high 22 points off the bench

NOTABLE: Pondexter scored 18 of his 22 points in the second half to help keep the struggling Grizzlies in the game. He made 7 of his 11 shots. ... The Spurs offense in this series was nearly as superb as their defense. They shot 51.3 percent Monday night, which was the third time in four games they topped the 50 percent mark. ... At 37, San Antonio forward Duncan returns to the NBA finals. He is the lone Spur to be a part of the club's previous for championships. He had 15 points and eight rebounds Monday night. ... The Grizzlies most successful season in franchise history came to an end. The club won a franchise record 56 regular season games and reached the Western Conference finals for the first time after knocking off the Los Angeles Clippers and Oklahoma City Thunder without having home court advantage. ... The Spurs won their fifth Western Conference titles. The previous four resulted in NBA titles. ... The Grizzlies normally make a living by scoring in the paint. But the Spurs outscored them in the paint, 52-32, and held the Grizzlies to 37-percent shooting in the lane. ... The Spurs sweep of the Grizzlies was the first in a conference finals since New Jersey swept Detroit in the 2003 Eastern Conference finals.

UP NEXT: The Spurs will play the winner of the Eastern Conference finals matchup, Miami or Indiana, in the NBA Finals (TBA).
