Swept

     Last night for just the second time in the history of the NBA, a team was swept in the Western Conference finals. However, this time it was the Memphis Grizzlies. I think that the biggest reason of Memphis' struggles has been some of their key players not stepping up to the plate in key games. Zach Randolph is one of these players, he has struggled throughout the playoffs and this series in particular. This may be in part because of the San Antonio stout defense, not allowing too many easy shots for the normally efficient Grizzlies. Another reason for San Antionio's domination was Tony Parker, stepping up to the plate and showing truly how dominant he can be when utilized properly.
Top Performers:
San Antonio: T. Parker 37 Pts, 4 Reb, 6 Ast
Memphis: Q. Pondexter 22 Pts, 3 Reb, 1 Ast, 2 Stl
