Grizzlies Push Spurs to Brink: The 8-seed Memphis Grizzlies pushed the top-seed San Antonio Spurs to the brink of elimination Monday night with a convincing 104-86 defeat on their home court Monday, taking a 3-1 lead in the series. The Grizzlies, who had an 0-12 playoff record before this postseason, were down by 2 at the half and opened the third with a 14-0 run. "Obviously, the whole team is frustrated," said Spurs guard Tony Parker. "[L]ittle the Spurs have shown during their last two games indciates that this team has the moxie needed to win a Game 6 in Memphis," observes Tim Griffin of the San Antonio Express-News.

Duncan et. al. look incredibly tired. He's got to be the oldest 35 year old I have ever seen; all those long playoff runs are starting to catch up with him.
