"We came out with great emotion and intensity," Hollins said. "We were physical and aggressive. We kind of knocked them back on their heels. We kept attacking and attacking." While San Antonio struggled with its ball handling, Memphis faced its own problems in the first half when starting center Marc Gasol was ejected after receiving his second technical of the game with 5:12 left before intermission.
But Randolph held his own, and Arthur filled the void left by Gasol's departure. That created matchup problems for San Antonio, and Duncan played only a little more than 7 minutes after halftime.
"Once we got running on them, they kind of bailed on (Duncan) and tried to go small to see what they could do," Hollins said. "It was Darrell's offense that really hurt them."
The turnover problems also continued to plague the Spurs after halftime helping Memphis stretch its advantage to as many as 16 points. San Antonio didn't have anyone reach double figures until Neal's 12-foot floater with 1:50 left in the third period.
Memphis had matched its biggest lead of the game at the end of the third, carrying an 83-67 lead into the fourth.
Arthur hit a pair of jumpers to open the fourth as the lead reached 87-67, and Memphis continued to build the advantage as the Spurs starters watched from the bench.
Ginobili said the loss provided the Spurs with a glimpse of what they could face if the teams stayed in their respective positions in the West and faced each other in the opening round.
"They know they have a shot," Ginobili said of Memphis. "They are young and very physical and athletic, and we are not precisely that.
"We have to do better with our brains."
