00:00of the Spurs.
00:25It was Miami Vice on a Monday night
00:27and now it's all about the Blues
00:29and B.B. King here in Memphis,
00:32Tennessee on Beale Street inside
00:34of the FedEx Forum.
00:35It's the San Antonio Spurs and
00:37it's the struggling Memphis
00:39Grizzlies and we welcome you to
00:41the floor Jacob Tobey alongside
00:42Sean Elliott.
00:43Sean another six game winning
00:45streak for the Spurs.
00:46They continue to stack up
00:48doubles and let's keep it going.
00:49No reason to stop right now the
00:50way our guys have been playing.
00:51I mean they've been playing
00:53really good basketball of late
00:54total domination in Miami really
00:56took me by surprise.
00:57I thought the Miami Heat were
00:58going to present a better
01:00challenge didn't happen.
01:01Let's take a look at our
01:02Chipotle real difference makers.
01:04Victor Wimanyama, Keldon Johnson,
01:05Dylan Harper all having terrific
01:07nights in Miami.
01:08Uh oh.
01:09Yeah pretty much everybody that
01:10touched the floor did something
01:11really really good.
01:13Our guys matched their
01:14physicality.
01:14Matter of fact they brought the
01:16physicality to the Miami Heat.
01:19It's good to see Victor get off to
01:20a good start.
01:21Dylan Harper was terrific.
01:22I mean just been lights out and
01:25his three ball shooting has gotten
01:27better better this is what I'm
01:28talking about earlier that's
01:29Davion Mitchell who is a solid
01:31defender and Dylan Harper goes
01:33right through him with beautiful
01:34English off the glass and of
01:37course Kellen Johnson wins the
01:39sixth man of the year battle.
01:41Absolutely going away in this one.
01:43So you know our guys right now if
01:45it's not one thing if it's not one
01:47guy it's another guy who's stepping
01:49up and playing big time.
01:50Yeah you saw Dylan Harper with the
01:53twenty one points over those last
01:54two games.
01:55Shawnee shot sixty eight percent
01:56from the field.
01:57He's going to get a lot of run
01:58tonight.
01:58No deer and Fox out with lower
02:00back tightness.
02:01So Dylan Harper gets his second
02:02career start tonight.
02:04So hopefully he gets high quality
02:05minutes.
02:06I don't think there's any question
02:07that's going to happen.
02:08He's going to play well because
02:09he's played well of late and I
02:11just don't want to see him on the
02:13floor late in the fourth.
02:15That means that we've taken care of
02:16business.
02:16We want to see the cleanup crew out
02:18there pretty much the entire
02:20fourth.
02:20That's the way in my opinion this
02:22game should go.
02:23Absolutely no deer and Fox also no
02:25Lou Cornette.
02:26He's out with right knee management.
02:28So we'll see how the Spurs stack
02:30up off the bench tonight behind
02:31Victor Webinyama.
02:32And speaking of injuries one of
02:34the most decimated teams in the
02:35NBA are the Memphis Grizzlies.
02:37They've lost John Morant for the
02:38rest of the season.
02:39Sean twenty four and forty seven
02:41there one in nine in their last
02:43ten.
02:44And again tons of injuries.
02:46Yeah.
02:46So again though this is that time
02:48of year where you see a lot of
02:49upsets.
02:49So let's not have a Chaminade
02:51versus Virginia kind of moment
02:52here tonight.
02:53The guys need to come out take
02:54care of business and know that
02:56those guys gonna let it fly and
02:57they're gonna be freewheeling.
02:58All right.
02:58See if the Spurs can hand the
02:59Grizz their fourth consecutive
03:01loss.
03:02And the Spurs lost a close one in this
03:04building last time to the Grizzlies.
03:06That was a one point game.
03:07The Spurs playing excellent in Miami.
03:09Victor Webinyama dunking all over the
03:13Miami Heat.
03:14Hopefully we see that tonight against
03:16the Grizz.
03:16The Spurs and the Grizzlies coming up
03:18next right here on FanDuel Sports
03:19Network.
03:24Welcome back to Memphis, Tennessee as
03:26the Spurs get ready to face off against
03:28the Grizzlies.
03:29His second game of this three game road
03:30trip and Sean's the key to the Spurs
03:33offense.
03:34We've seen a lot this season has been
03:35the corner three point ball.
03:37Hasn't it?
03:37Yeah.
03:38And it's really because you have a
03:40gravitational force there that is just
03:42rolling down the middle every single
03:43time and Victor Webinyama and you can
03:45see Steph Castle.
03:46Now he's gotten enough reps at that
03:48point guard position and with his action
03:49to know that as soon as he sees that
03:52help defender stepping in there, the
03:54ball is away and across the corner.
03:55You watch Devin Bissell here.
03:56He actually has two options.
03:57As you can see the help defender actually
03:59is outside of the play.
04:00That's an easy lob for Victor.
04:02There's no contact or you have Kelden
04:05Johnson wide open in the corner.
04:07He likes to throw it out to Kelden.
04:09Kelden splash hits the bottom.
04:11So you watch this one here.
04:12This is good ball movement again.
04:14Now you're actually going to have two
04:15options here because you see Jordan at
04:16the bottom of your screen.
04:17He's wide open.
04:18Steph Castle.
04:19He already knew exactly where he wanted
04:21to go with it when he caught it.
04:23There's Kelden again wide open in the
04:25corner.
04:25A lot of penetration and pitch from our
04:27guys and just great court awareness and
04:29understanding where to find the shots.
04:3112.4 corner three point attempts per game.
04:34The most in NBA history.
04:37The Spurs love shooting the corner three.
04:39They love shooting the three in general.
04:40Hopefully a lot of them go in tonight.
04:42It's better.
04:45Welcome back to Memphis.
04:46Let's take a look at the starting lineups.
04:48The Spurs and the Grizzlies.
04:51We start with the Spurs.
04:53No Darren Fox.
04:55So Dylan Harper gets his second career
04:57start on the other side for the Grizzlies.
05:00John Morant ruled out for the rest of the year with a
05:04left elbow injury.
05:05Nine total on the injury report.
05:07So they're going to go with Gigi Jackson.
05:13Olivia Omax Prosper.
05:14Taylor Hendricks.
05:16Javon Small.
05:18And their fantastic rookie Cedric Coward.
05:23Struggling Memphis team.
05:2524 and 47.
05:27Lost three straight.
05:28They're one.
05:30And nine in their last ten games.
05:32The Spurs have won six consecutive games.
05:3422 of their last 24.
05:38Yeah, so obviously two teams that are heading in
05:41exactly the opposite direction.
05:43Spurs win the tip.
05:44It's presented by Pizza Hut.
05:45And we are underway.
05:48The tenth to last home game of the regular season.
05:52Rather, regular season game.
05:54Webb and Yama.
05:55The alley-oop right off the bat.
05:57I mean, Dembassell looks like he didn't even look there.
05:59As soon as he curled off that tight screen,
06:01just lobbed it right up there.
06:03Knew Victor was going to be open even before he caught the ball.
06:08Javon Small.
06:11Lovie-Maxon's Prosper with the miss.
06:13Capped out by Hendricks.
06:15And the Spurs hit the ball right back.
06:18I love this as a starting play, Jacob,
06:20because you're almost just letting the Grizzlies know
06:22this is the type of night it's going to be.
06:25We're going to throw lobs and dunks,
06:26so we're going to have a good time at your expense.
06:28Wemby started the last game in Miami with an alley-oop, correct?
06:31Yes, he did.
06:33See how that game turned out.
06:36Spurs were all over the heat on the glass.
06:39That's what really separated them.
06:41Castle three.
06:42Bit short.
06:43Hendricks the rebound.
06:44The former Utah Jazz now here in Memphis.
06:47Cedric Cowart, very talented rookie right to the rim.
06:51Good job by the Grizzlies there in the open court.
06:53Moving the ball around.
06:54Steph Castle with a nice contest.
06:55Not the foul, but Cowart with a better finish.
06:59Castle, picking out.
07:01Victor, driving the dish.
07:02Harper swings it out.
07:04Ball movement from the Spurs, and Devin hits the three.
07:08Oh, that's just outstanding ball movement.
07:10World class.
07:11Can't ask for anything better.
07:12Dillon Harper underneath was caught in jail.
07:14Clips the ball back out.
07:16Steph Castle with a nice extra pass to Devin in the corner.
07:18Weminiama jumping right up and taking away Gigi Jackson's bucket.
07:25The sellout to Champetti.
07:27Pump fake three.
07:29Bit too strong.
07:30Devin offensive rebound.
07:32Now to Victor, who fires away.
07:35Castle trying to get the offensive rebound.
07:37Here comes Hendricks.
07:38How about the soft block by Victor there?
07:40Oh, boy.
07:41To death and just off the back bar castle.
07:44There you go, Seth.
07:46There you go.
07:46And offensive interference.
07:50So, Grizzly basketball, that had show timers all over it.
07:53Good.
07:54Right off the bat.
07:56I mean, it's been excellent ball movement for some good looks for threes, but my goodness,
08:01we've got the lob to Victor to start off, and he's throwing that one off the glass.
08:05Our guy's trying to send a message early.
08:06Now we're flying and scoring again.
08:10Fast pace to this game, Sean.
08:12The Grizzlies 10th in the NBA in pace.
08:14The Spurs are 12th.
08:15They have no choice.
08:16They don't want to try to slow it down against a set-up defense.
08:20Here's Harper's second career start.
08:23Inside, Weminiama had small on him.
08:26Swing it around.
08:27Champagne.
08:29One extra pass.
08:30Another one.
08:31Right back to Harper.
08:32They're just messing around.
08:34That's just...
08:36Okay.
08:36Ball's flying.
08:37Yeah.
08:39Okay.
08:40I will take it.
08:42And now another fast break for the Spurs.
08:44Numbers.
08:44Victor off.
08:45Castle.
08:46Throwing it down.
08:47Area 51.
08:49I mean, our guys, they mean business right off the bat.
08:53My goodness.
08:54I've seen ball movement like that last position for a long, long time.
08:58That was Spurs basketball.
09:01Hit missing.
09:02De'Aaron Fox in the starting lineup.
09:04But Harper fitting right in.
09:08Jackson off the mark for three.
09:10Victor the rebound.
09:11That last steal was Victor's 200th of his career.
09:15Castle the slow step.
09:17Champagne.
09:19Rolls it in for three.
09:20It's all going down for San Antonio.
09:23I mean, that was justice right there.
09:24Steph Castle makes the right decision.
09:26Doesn't force a shot there in the paint.
09:28Kicks it out to Julian Champagne.
09:29Julian's gotta come through for Steph.
09:32Picking up that assist.
09:34Olivier Maxwell's prosper.
09:36Short on the three.
09:38Grizzlies the most injured team in the NBA.
09:41437 man games lost.
09:43This ball is flinging.
09:45And Champagne makes him pay.
09:47Timeout Memphis.
09:49How do you stop it when it's that fast?
09:51It's an onslaught of ball movement.
09:53That's incredibly impressive.
09:55The way our guys are sharing the ball early on.
09:58I mean, they're throwing the clock back to 14.
10:03The way they played the first four minutes here.
10:06Unbelievable.
10:10Methodist Healthcare Assistant.
10:12I almost had to take my shoes off to count how many passes we make here.
10:15All right.
10:15Here's one.
10:17Two.
10:18Three.
10:19Nice ball fake from Julian.
10:20Could have taken that one.
10:22Five.
10:23Six.
10:25Seven.
10:25Pass it back.
10:26Eight.
10:27Might as well.
10:27Somebody's gotta shoot it.
10:28Dylan Harper hits the bottom for your Methodist Healthcare Assist.
10:33Thankfully, I still got all my digits.
10:35I was starting to run out.
10:37I was counting on my hands.
10:38Eight assists.
10:40One dribble on that play.
10:42The Spurs six assists on six.
10:45Made shots to start.
10:46They're four of seven from three.
10:48There were two of three to start this game from the quarters, which we talked about so far.
10:53I mean, if you want to look at the definition of unselfish basketball, just took that clip on anywhere.
10:58Looks like our guys don't care who's scoring the ball.
11:02Here comes Castle.
11:04Harded by Smalls.
11:05Right inside the one Benyama.
11:08Dylan Harper driving.
11:09Harper elevating, floating, and putting it down.
11:12I told Avery Johnson at the beginning of the year, Dylan Harper is a super superstar.
11:18How about that play there?
11:19Turning this back to the basket.
11:20Juan Masisolo, the head coach for the Grizzlies, making some lineup changes.
11:25Cam Spencer is in, who really played well against the Spurs last time out.
11:29Tyler Burton is in on a ten-day contract.
11:33This is Dijon Giroux, who's also on a ten-day contract.
11:40Lemonyama has small on him.
11:42Lemonyama makes him look small.
11:44Count it, and a foul.
11:50Goodness, I mean, it's actually, I hate to say this, but it's not to feel bad for the other team.
11:57I mean, this is the smallest.
11:59He's out there working hard, but he goes for the Steely Gamble's a little bit.
12:02Victor's backing him down, and he's never seen anything like that in his life.
12:09Victor also grabbed his 1,900th career rebound.
12:14He's hit a couple milestones on the steal, and then a rebound.
12:17Harper gets his first rest.
12:19Keldon Johnson checks in, and Victor has a chance for a three-point play.
12:26It's still a 20-4 run to start this game here in Memphis.
12:30Well, like I said earlier, the Grizzlies, they just don't have a lot of scores out there.
12:35He's going to put the ball in the basket there.
12:37Another turnover.
12:38Castle with room.
12:39Castle, windmill, right in front of his former college teammate.
12:43That's a Husky.
12:46Cam Spencer saw Steph Castle in front of him.
12:49He just said, all right, I've seen enough of it already.
12:52Saw that in practice for a year.
12:54That's going to be foolish.
12:5517-0 Spurs run.
12:59Giroux ends it.
13:02Sean, what's it feel like if you are the Grizzlies right now in that onslaught of a 17-0 running
13:06start?
13:07This is a little helpless.
13:07I can't say it's happened to me a lot.
13:10Kelvin scores inside.
13:14The Spurs have only missed three shots in this game.
13:17They're 10 of 13.
13:19They're doing whatever they want.
13:24Giroux takes it.
13:26Can't make it.
13:27Spurs gobble up the rebound.
13:29Castle head up for Victor.
13:32He saved it for a moment, but then stepped out.
13:35And you see Small's reaction there.
13:37He just turned around like, thank God.
13:40That pass has been on the money.
13:42He just looked back at Victor, too.
13:44He just looked back.
13:44He just looked up and said, thank you.
13:49Wembe gets a rest.
13:50Mason Plumlee checks in.
13:52Here's the windmill from the Husky.
13:54Yeah.
13:55Our guys.
13:56Been a lot of show time here in the first half.
14:00Would have been more if Steph Castle
14:02had been able to catch that pass off the glass from Devin Bissell earlier.
14:07Walter Clayton Jr.
14:09Here he is in for the first time.
14:10Coming over again with Taylor Hendrickson.
14:12That Jaron Jackson Jr.
14:14Big time trade at the trade deadline.
14:17Spencer.
14:18Trying to break free.
14:19Left it short.
14:20Here come the Spurs once again.
14:22Even with Victor off the floor, the guys on the perimeter
14:24are doing a phenomenal job.
14:26So it's not easy pickings.
14:27Even when you have the defensive player of the year taking a rest.
14:32Bissell driving.
14:33Bissell going for it all.
14:34And he got fouled.
14:35The Spurs had hit their last eight shots.
14:39Our guys are just absolutely merciless right now.
14:42This is marauding the FedEx for him here.
14:47I mean, they're trying to raise the building.
14:53So Devin to the free throw line, 82% on the season.
15:01This is when you want to see the mentality from a team that's not only going into the playoffs,
15:07but has championship on their mind, not taking any game out of the 82 lightly.
15:12No, I haven't seen him come into a building and do this yet.
15:17And we've had some good starts, but it's been kind of a merciless beat down to start this one.
15:24And man, I didn't call the dogs off pretty soon.
15:29So Mitch has fun full attack mode.
15:35Here's Spencer.
15:37Castle's going to guard him, of course.
15:39Those two know each other well.
15:42Tyler Burton inside, kicking out for Giroux, the rookie from Houston.
15:46Rims out.
15:48And Plumlee got the rebound to push it to Kelvin.
15:53Here's KJ.
15:55Lost it.
15:57That's the Spurs' third turnover.
16:02Now the cell guarding Spencer.
16:05Spurs used a 17-0 run midway through this first quarter.
16:09Clayton Jr. knocks down the three.
16:11He's impressed us a little bit, the rookie out of Florida.
16:13Yeah, that exhibition game earlier this year in San Antonio, he was perfect from the field.
16:18Yeah, and the first game in the regular season had 17 points against the Spurs.
16:254.30 remaining first quarter here from Memphis.
16:28Maybe that was the game, the one in San Antonio where he was a former Utah Jazz,
16:34they ended up upsetting us that night.
16:37Keldon for three.
16:40Long rebound.
16:42The cell saves it.
16:44Castle, the fake pass.
16:45Castle drives in and just took the life of Hendricks.
16:49He sucked the life out of him.
16:55Yes, he did.
16:59And Giroux falls down.
17:01This is an unbelievable showcase here for the Spurs.
17:04It's like an all-star game.
17:07Harrison Barnes missing the three.
17:13What is going on?
17:15That was absolutely filthy.
17:16I mean, I believe this Cam Spencer went for the fake on the perimeter,
17:19and Steph Castle had a free lane.
17:23Oh, no.
17:24I mean, it's starting to worry me now.
17:27The cell.
17:27He hits a three.
17:29The Spurs are five of ten from downtown.
17:31It's a 30-9 start.
17:36The hottest team in the NBA continuing their heat here in Memphis, Tennessee.
17:42Steph Castle had a free runway, and he's in there collecting bodies.
17:47Look at his reaction after.
17:49He's like, I can't believe you tried to do that.
17:54Don't you know I am Steph Castle.
17:57The stare down from Steph.
18:01Nasty.
18:03What did we just witness?
18:05Just complete and utter domination, annihilation.
18:10Our guys just came in here awfully rude to do that to the home team.
18:14Five dunks already.
18:15The Spurs third most dunks in a season.
18:18But all the dunks were spectacular.
18:21Oh.
18:22Wow.
18:23They were just little easy dunks.
18:26Windmills.
18:27Windmills.
18:28Going down on people.
18:29Spinning dunk for and one.
18:33D. Jackson comes back and gets a chance at a three-point play.
18:41But yeah, that was world domination.
18:43That was sunny.
18:46Between the timeouts, about a 448-minute stretch.
18:51They were six of eight from the field, 75%.
18:55Jackson misses the chance at a three-point play.
18:57Carter Bryant the rebound.
19:02Dillon Harper, Harrison Barnes, Mason Plumlee, Keldon Johnson,
19:06Carter Bryant out there for San Antonio.
19:10Just tuning in, you missed some big dunks and a 17-0 San Antonio run.
19:15Big dunks is an understatement.
19:18Harper can't hit the three.
19:19That's soft Gigi Jackson.
19:21The Spurs basketball.
19:24And we saw a windmill dunk from Castle.
19:26A poster jam from Castle.
19:28Devin Vassell tried to go for a poster.
19:34Looked like, again, the all-star game.
19:40Grizzlies really banged up the most injured team in the NBA.
19:43Keldon the swish for three.
19:45That's six for the Spurs.
19:47Guys having way too much fun out there.
19:50But they're taking care of business early, and that's what I talked about.
19:52I don't think that Dillon Harper has a chance to get a 30-piece like Chris Miles was talking about
19:57at the start of the game.
19:59Because he's not going to play that long.
20:02Where our guys are going.
20:03Now Carter Bryant, he wants a piece of it.
20:05Bryant just lost it out of bounds.
20:07It got poked free.
20:08He was trying to gather two-step and do something as well.
20:11And I predict he's in store for a big dunk as well as I do.
20:15He mentioned Harper hopefully getting a rest.
20:19And same could be said with Victor after he plays the 20 minutes that he needs to be considered for
20:24postseason awards.
20:25Keldon off the mark.
20:27Tyler Burton the rebound.
20:33Dan Spencer.
20:34He was big in the fourth quarter last time, and that one-point win from Memphis against the Spurs.
20:39Burton hits the three.
20:40Burton, on his second 10-day contract, playing in his eighth career game.
20:47Well, he's got something to prove out there.
20:48There's a solid rebound on the defensive end.
20:51Been stepped into that shot with a lot of confidence.
20:55Keldon trying to take Gigi Jackson.
20:57Spins away.
20:58Whips it to Carter Bryant.
21:00Harper the crossover.
21:01Back out KJ3.
21:04Oh, no justice.
21:06I love the ball movement there.
21:07Dillon Harper could have easily taken that little pop a shot in the paint.
21:11We've seen the Spurs are passing up good shots to try and get great shots.
21:14No question.
21:1812 assists on 13.
21:20Made field goals for San Antonio.
21:22Shot clock going down.
21:24Dillon Harper stayed in front of Spencer.
21:26First a tough shot.
21:27And an excellent defensive possession.
21:31Harrison Barnes waits and scores.
21:36A little hesitation.
21:38Incredible balance there received.
21:41Harrison practicing that shot so many times during his warmup.
21:45He's just got it down.
21:46Clayton Jr.
21:47Throws it up.
21:48Carter Bryant thought he was straight up.
21:51It's called for the foul.
21:55Shot Victor's back up at the scores table to come back in for his normal.
21:59Last usually one to two minute stretch.
22:01And she was more good.
22:02It took проход for a shot.
22:02Way here, Douglas, Brent.
22:07Clayton jr.
22:09For a spree throw good, the rookie from Florida.
22:11So Victor in.
22:14Century coward and him.
22:15Hospital for the Grizzlies, as well as the second-oldest player in the NBA, Tosh Gibson at
22:2140 years old playing at his 17th NBA season.
22:25Figured we would see him at some point tonight. I thought maybe sometime in the fourth quarter
22:30in an early stint
22:33And we're drafting the Chicago Bulls part of those great Bulls teams with Derrick Rose. He's playing mentor here in
22:39Memphis
22:45But Minyama keeps it from getting stolen Clayton fell down the shovel pass
22:50It's too strong on the three from CB and then the Grizzlies turn it over for the fifth time in
22:55the first quarter
23:01Time for two for one here for Mitch Johnson squad
23:08Come out firing away
23:13That sounds across regarding women Yama now the switch and Harper the switch was just so polished
23:20He's been so so good. He's improving 30 came in. He was a polished player
23:24But you can see the improvement from the beginning of the year to now. It's so
23:29Consistent and efficient as Clinton jr. Rolls in the three
23:3468% over his last two games
23:37and again has the best
23:39Assisted turnover ratio in Spurs rookie history
23:45Barnes getting Gibson a jump back out Harper throw it up Carter Bryant inside gathers weights. They got fouled
23:56That was the right idea there from Dylan trying to throw up a little baby lob
24:01To Carter Bryant with the defender got right back into play at the last second blew up an easy dunk
24:11All right
24:13All right
24:38All right
24:38Carter Bryant to the free throw line
24:38Howard that'll count
24:40Howard that'll count
24:40Well short
24:42And you really can't ask for a better first quarter
24:46If you're the Spurs who put up 38 points a couple mesmerizing
24:54And the ball was flying around I mean 38 points and 28 of them were spectacular
24:58I think look at that beautiful layup there
25:05That counts for more than two probably do that
25:08Phil sports network is brought to you by the Methodist healthcare system
25:11Methodist healthcare proudly offers 10 neighborhood ERs across San Antonio
25:17Oh
25:18Oh
25:19My there was a lot of that
25:24Crazy
25:24First quarter
25:25Yeah
25:26Had everything you wanted if you're a Spurs fan
25:30Second quarter starts off with a Taj Gibson three
25:34Second oldest player in the NBA playing his sixth game of the season in his
25:391008th career game
25:41And that old man jumper going
25:43Took his times a little bit of a wind-up that gold's gym jumper
25:49Yep
25:50Champagne trying to get physical missed in Gigi Jackson with the rebound
26:01Jackson fires and hits
26:05From three to start the second floor he's trying to hide behind that screen did a great job
26:10He's a score now
26:12So definitely put the ball in the basket
26:21And that's in this well-earned assist they're doing Harper again with his size in the paint
26:27That's probably pretty solid finish for him instead Alexa pass the ball out to wide open Harrison Barnes
26:35Coward
26:38Kicking out to Devon small
26:40Now Gigi Jackson fires again
26:44Not that time while my Cecil will have to take out
26:47majority of his starters after that quick first burst for the Spurs
26:52women Yama
26:54No good that time it was a 17 nothing run the middle of that first quarter for san antonio
27:02Gibson gives it back to Spencer stop and pop can't get that to fall
27:10Victor has Gibson trailing and just wrapped him up
27:16He was not going to let him go try and dunk it
27:21And the officials will get together here james williams our crew chief referee jason goble and umpire derrick collins so
27:28that is
27:29Two free throws for victor
27:34First player in the last 40 years to
27:374 000 points 600 blocks before turning
27:4123
27:46Hopefully he doesn't have to play more than 25 minutes in this one tonight just get a good run and
27:52get off the floor
27:58A couple days off before the milwaukee game that's two days off for the first time in what feels like
28:02a long time
28:05Feels like a month
28:12Small
28:13Has Jordan McLaughlin guarding it remember jordan came in and played excellent defense that last game in memphis
28:19Impact off the bench harper sky for the rebound great job by julian just to stay in that play didn't
28:25concede that jumper to coward
28:27To 17 to 9 rebounding advantage for the spurs
28:31Harper fires and that's a bit short
28:36He saw the spurs really rebound well in miami sean 62 to 38 the advantage there
28:44Yeah, just did not see that coming normally in miami heat our physical ball club our guys just took it
28:51to him
28:54Spencer
28:56On a work the baseline woman yama shows gibson got blocked by webby
29:01It didn't create enough separation there cam spencer was trying to set the table for him
29:09Hb in and out
29:12It's seven threes against the grizzlies earlier in the season
29:19Small the dish coward probing
29:23It's been away from webby that's what i'm talking about he doesn't get as many opportunities for blocks a lot
29:28of guys bear out
29:30Coward hits the three mick johnson
29:33We'll call a timeout
29:37So coward has seven of the 28 from memphis we'll take a break
29:42Time now for our ledger defensive blocks of the night victor doing work
29:47Yeah, this is the little soft block there where he controls it doesn't have to swipe it or slap it
29:52out of bounds
29:54Like a block and steal all in one and there tosh gibson just can't create enough separation there
29:59He's been around the league a long time. He hadn't seen anything like that
30:02He's gonna get that shot off
30:03Against pretty much everyone else that he's played against 41 career blocks against the grizzlies second most against any opponent
30:1142 against the jazz for the most against any team in the nba
30:20Castle on the floor with barnes vassell webby yama and julian champani
30:29Let's get back to that ball mover though. We love so much there in the first quarter
30:34Castle looking and lost it fourth turnover for the spurs
30:42Spencer stepping back short again
30:47Victor over midcourt
30:51First trying to go for their seventh consecutive wins
30:56barnes moves it castle
30:59I've had a good a couple good possessions and just can't get the ball to fall now
31:06Coward for three
31:08When yama grabs another rebound, that's his fourth
31:14Castle with speed
31:16Kick out champ petty
31:18He can't get it to go
31:23Coward and that was stolen by jewels
31:26Johnny see the threes not falling for the spurs see if they go inside here a little bit
31:30Not enough big big enough window there for cam spitzer to make that pass
31:35Barnes kick it out devin. He drives devin. Oh, he almost is a lid on that thing
31:42The same lays it in but most
31:52Jackson kind of move castle and women yama came over and sent his shot away
31:59Gets it back takes the three
32:05Gets the handoff to devin and foul boy taylor hendricks got himself out of position
32:11Big time there victor spins with the left side
32:14Yeah, he's playing way out of the left side and victor spun
32:18There was no one in the lane
32:21Victor women yama again
32:24Even when you make a good move you get physical you get to the basket normally you're going to get
32:29that bucket
32:29There's victor to erase another one
32:34Lemby nope that time turned over
32:39Grizzlies have been tops in the nba and deflections and steals since the all-star break their defenses been playing
32:45better this team plays hard shop
32:48In the midst of a one and nine stretch in their last ten burton
32:53We're good on the three
32:55First coaching staff made that an emphasis to shoot around this morning. This team's gonna play hard no matter the
32:59record
33:012447
33:02Boy
33:03The status stepped in kind of mishandle that left-handed dribble might have been another solid finish up the rim
33:08Oh small got it blocked on the three victors rejecting everybody
33:15Try to sneak get up there quickly and get a sneaky three ball
33:19Okay, penny got it ripped free
33:21Got a little sloppy
33:25Short shot by burton it's damn sloppy
33:30Yeah
33:31Slow it down
33:33Watch and that's another time out john that we've talked about mitch can sense these moments where it could get
33:38a little
33:38A little out of hand with a little patty wampus on us and
33:43Look we were a big lead and now it's down to 15 guys
33:47You know don't forget what got you there
33:49It's unbelievable ball movement there in the first quarter that's kind of gone out the window
33:54But the grizzlies making a few mistakes themselves trying to shoot that one over victor would be one of them
34:02Spur vision time there was a lot of good stuff. What did you choose to look at there?
34:06There was too much good stuff. I mean victor right there
34:09Just extend for a steal. You see step cast off there running the right lane and victor
34:14This is your center off the dribble now watch this
34:17This is what really made my eyes pop keldin by the way was the inbounder mind you
34:23And inbounds the basketball then out runs the field for a layup and a knee
34:28To tyler burton for good measure that'll learn you
34:32Kelden just moves him out of the way missed it, but women yama tips it right back
34:36His sixth rebound and his eighth point
34:40The first point scored in this game the last three minutes and there's another block by the spurs
34:47But victor's out there long enough you can get 10 blocks victor passing out last second
34:54Champagne cross-court pass
34:57Castle in on hendricks and got hit on the way to the rack
35:06So that's three on hendricks
35:10See if tuomas is slow keeps him in or not no one at the scores table yet castle to
35:15The free throw line last five games for step shot 17 points per game nine assists seven rebounds sets triple
35:21double watch every single game
35:27As he hits the first free throw now, we hear from h.e.b
35:54That's
35:55So two games
35:57Rest in that hip
35:59Clayton jr. With the miss devin the rebound
36:0127 to 13 the rebounding advantage right now castle eyes up to victor off glass
36:08Does that not fall you kidding me?
36:11Well, it's the glass softly hits the front of the rim looks like it's gonna fall so now pops out
36:17Maybe those basketball gods trying to try to even check this game a little bit
36:23Maxon's prosper hits the three
36:27Started the last now 18 games from memphis third year player from marquette
36:35Still a 16-point advantage for san antonio crossover castle on his way back it off glass
36:41Yes, sir. That's really really good focus there from step
36:45Like i've been telling you i want to see more and ones instead of two free throws
36:49there's a great example there
36:52Able to absorb the contact and kept his eyes on the glass
36:58Thanks for an opportunity for an and one
37:01sean castle has three rebounds so far mitch johnson talked after last game that
37:05He loved how he had seven rebounds in miami because it allows him to push the ball more just because
37:11he's so fast and he can
37:12Do it himself he's not having to come back and call for exactly it takes extra pass out of the
37:16equation
37:18Clayton jr wild take and a foul called on dylan harper
37:25That's his first personal first team foul
37:30Clayton jr's already got eight points off the bench for the grizzlies
37:37Lost to the spurs back on november 18th by 10. No victor in that game fox big game 26 points
37:44barnes hit four threes
37:46December 2nd the spurs got the win again no victor that was when harrison went for 31 right
37:52It's seven threes fox at 29 points
37:55And then the one point loss here january 6th harrison through that skyhook right yes late in the game
38:02That was the one we got taken off of
38:05I remember that i was watching that from the comfort of my couch
38:10Harper pass out castle fading away he got fouled
38:19Mid-range shot he's continuing to take more of
38:25That is already five team fouls on memphis the spurs are in the bonus
38:30The rest of the way four minutes and 10 seconds
38:39The castle with two free throws 10 points three rebounds four assists
38:46I mean victor's the guy you're watching right now. He's got eight six and five blocks. He's got three assists
38:52and
38:54You've made a few more shots. He might have five assists. He might be on quadruple double watch
38:59Quad double watch yes, okay
39:02Big dave style
39:08Well, there's still a lot of game left
39:11But yeah, you know
39:13That's yourself a 19 point lead let's memphis does something
39:17Here and the middle of the third quarter. I just don't see victor
39:21Playing maybe at all in the fourth
39:25Castle trying to look for a window here, maybe
39:28Pick the ball off that switched off that time
39:32Giroud a max on prosper
39:35Puts it on the deck kick out to room three
39:38No good loose ball
39:41Loose ball foul against the spurs
39:43That's on kelvin
39:45Kelvin's got to be a little sneaker because he put his hand up and then he kept his hand up
39:49Almost like he was expecting the whistle there
39:52Go ahead and grab the rebound and start pushing it up the floor
39:55Look like he was expecting that whistle to come and try to act like I didn't do anything
40:04Clayton jeroux foul
40:08Now three team fouls on the spurs
40:15That's the third team foul
40:19First on castle so
40:22Dejan jeroux to the free throw line
40:29First one good he's a 71 percent free throw shooter. There's tuomas islo in his first season became the interim
40:35head coach
40:35After the grizzlies surprisingly fired taylor jenkins on march 28th nine games remaining last regular season that was
40:44One of the more surprising things that happened in the nba last year really was
40:48Shocking
40:50That michael malone lately season is malone was with three games remaining definitely that's just
40:57Unheard of
40:58The first time actually did i ever seen that
41:10Harper
41:11Got a dance lost it jerome
41:17That's lost prosper
41:19Now coward
41:21There was burton and clayton jr victor to the scores table
41:24We'll check in next dead ball
41:28Bucket there for clayton jr
41:32It's a gift the grizzlies a little bit of credit here they've hung in there
41:35I mean they just got absolutely annihilated the first
41:39Six minutes of the game they didn't put their heads down they just continue to battle
41:44Okay penny short on the three
41:47Here come the grizzlies they want to play fast 10th and pace
41:53Very young squad
41:55Maxon's prosper and one
42:05We've got a little loose on both sides of the floor a couple unnecessary turnovers
42:11Some fouls as well
42:14That's a terrible feeling when you
42:16Your opponent gives you a ball fake you leave the ground and
42:19There's nothing you could do you're just at the mercy of the offensive player and prosper does a great job
42:24there
42:24Hanging in going through our guy for an end one
42:29And you're down 13 with a chance to cut it to 12 you kind of take that as a win
42:32if you're memphis
42:40Let me down the back in we've seen some token full court pressure here from memphis
42:51Castle gets it back from webi moves it devin
42:54six it for three good focus there by devin the cell
42:59Got a little cold for our guys there really took his time that that one got a speed set good
43:03looking shot
43:05Devon and double figures with 10
43:09Your row
43:11missed it
43:15Castle with speed
43:19Devin
43:19Devon hb corner
43:24Harper could have easily laid that one up
43:27He goes back out to victor two minute mark of the first half
43:32Vassell three
43:35And out of bounds
43:38Memphis coming off a 146 107 loss
43:43In atlanta they're 11th of 12 that they've lost
43:50They turned it over 23 times in atlanta scored 39 points off of those turn around
43:56And land has been on a roll well, we were well on our way to
43:59Maybe a plug 50 and our offense gun soccer in the second quarter
44:06Fourth most starting lineups for the grizzlies in the nba as well
44:16Castle crossover swing through and a trip
44:21The spurs have been in the bonus the last three and a half minutes
44:27He's
44:31Prosper or max on's prosper his second
44:36Personal foul
44:36No, we haven't done a very good job at the free throw line tonight as well
44:42Start fixing that
44:45Seven to twelve. Yeah, it's kind of gone south over the
44:48Last month or so
44:50the toronto game
44:52Shaky the way we finished that one from the free throw line and
44:58No announcer jinx
45:01No, sir, maybe the eyes
45:05But you're not taking it from me tonight no no
45:09You've got to clean that up
45:13And you've got to get better over the next three weeks for sure
45:18You've got to clean that up
45:19Wet spot on the floor
45:24That cleaned up
45:31Bruce
45:32did such a good job of moving the basketball there's john morant
45:35Lost for the season team announced with the left elbow injury one of nine guys on the injury report
45:42tonight from memphis
45:45Davies call ball pope lost for the season zach edy potentially lost for the season santee aldama brandy clark
45:53out for the season scotty pippen jr as well out for the season there's a real chance
45:57That's a john morant's played his last game here
46:01So much noise at the trade deadline of course nothing happened
46:05Yeah, things change in the summer time especially around the draft
46:10There's tyler burton for three
46:14Undrafted again on his second ten-day contract with the grizz bounce pass from webi
46:20The cell
46:22Harper with time hits the three there you go number nine for san antonio
46:27It's almost similar to what we pulled off in that first quarter just patience around the horn
46:32Making the right pass not taking the first opportunity
46:38Clayton almost lost it home at crossford
46:49Eight second now rather seven second difference seven and a half seconds we'll call it between the shot clock and
46:53game clock
46:58It was led by as many as 22
47:02Harper fires again
47:05Offensive rebound kept alive that was hb who tipped it now they get the final shot victor the final shot
47:14Back and down two defenders come and he got hit with point four seconds remaining
47:26I just made the right decision there to turn away from the double team
47:30Going to that shot the double team really in reality shouldn't affect
47:37All that much and he's just lost it there for a second then you see the slack across the arm
47:42They're gonna challenge you they are
47:46To a challenge that's interesting with less than a second remaining
47:55This is the own well coaches challenge again crew chief james williams in his 15th season
48:01memphis has called a timeout
