LATimes: Spurs call Grizzlies bluff, now one win from NBA Finals

[ElNono]

San Antonio rallies after a slow start for a 104-93 overtime victory in Game 3. Tony Parker has 26 points and Tim Duncan scores seven of his 24 points in overtime.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — They bluffed.

The Memphis Grizzlies came out and pummeled the San Antonio Spurs with quick hands and swatting arms, their swarming defense helping to forge a huge early lead.
Then the Spurs fixed their wayward offense and the Grizzlies reverted to long stretches of the ragged play that has characterized a series that could soon be over.
Tim Duncan was an ageless wonder in overtime for a second consecutive game, helping San Antonio tilt things heavily in its favor with a 104-93 victory Saturday night at FedEx Forum in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals.

We calmed down, we started to do what we do," Ginobili said

"We came out with great energy, we got steals, we were running," Coach Lionel Hollins (http://www.latimes.com/topic/sports/basketball/lionel-hollins-PESPT000009512.topic) said. "We just couldn't sustain it."

yep, as painfully disgusting as the 1st quarter Spurs were, both teams reverted to their average, and the Spurs' average is way better than the Grizz average.

The Spurs barely won the game. One more point for Memphis and the spurs lose in regulation.

My point is the Spurs have been getting lucky with a 3-1 record in overtime games in the playoffs. Overtime games are so close they could go either way, one lucky play in regulation either way decides the game.

You can say that in a lot of instances, why pull that card on the Spurs? We EXECUTE on both ends when it counts and 3 out of 1 times we won. We are GOOD point blank period.
