Ginobili's return sparks Spurs to even series
SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Manu Ginobili scored 17 points in the All-Star's return after missing Game 1 with an elbow sprain, and the San Antonio Spurs beat the Memphis Grizzlies 93-87 on Wednesday night to even the first-round series.

Ginobili wore a thick sleeve to protect his right elbow but played as physically reckless as usual. He stayed questionable until just before tipoff, yet even with Ginobili, the top-seeded Spurs didn't have it easy.

Sam Young led Memphis with 17 points. The Grizzlies opened the series with a stunner for their first franchise playoff win, and 2-0 lead seemed possible in the final seconds.

Young's 3-pointer with 14.9 seconds left made it 89-87 before George Hill sealed the win at the free throw line.

Game 3 is Saturday in Memphis.

ESPN of course has it buried but the same story but no photo is on the right on the NBA threads at: http://espn.go.com/nba/

Bottom line who cares - Spurs have stabalized the series despite Pop's stubborn substitution patterns behind the gutty Manu and others.

Who cares?

Bottom line - just win. Why get excited for a team that is trotting out Blair and Bonner to get killed while its first round draft pick Euroleague star rots on the bench?

I would not mess with that cat... You just don't know what he is going to do.

[JR3]

ESPN SUCKS. Old news though.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Dude, you whine too much, really, give it a rest and enjoy the win.

[DMC]

The Spurs aren't underdogs. SI has no reason to pretend the Grizz are a powerhouse and the Spurs are the Cinderella story.

What you have to ask yourself is "Do I want to try to defense this crazy motherfucker?"

Well, do ya Punk?

[rascal]

It only becomes a worthy story for ESPN if Memphis upsets San Antonio.

Did you send them an email?

[igruex]

Dr. Rummpd,
Does playing worsen Manu's elbow condition?

Best regards,

Exactly! :wtf

[ChumpDumper]

There should be an ESPN story about spurfan and the myriad ways in which spurfan's butt hurts.
