NBA

He shot 9-of-14 from the field in the win, which is nothing new for Parker. During the regular season, he led all guards with his 52.2 percent from the field, but he's been somewhat cool in the playoffs, making 45.2 percent of his shots in the first two rounds. Parker's D on Mike Conley was also solid and the Spurs will look to take a big 2-0 lead on Tuesday.

He was a terror for Memphis on both ends of the floor and Kawhi's help defense played a big part in limiting Memphis' chances for easy buckets. Leonard has been great all postseason, shooting 55.6 percent from the field even before his 7-of-10 gem today. The Grizzlies will have to focus more on preventing Leonard from getting open looks on Tuesday.

Bonner averaged 26 minutes per game vs. the Lakers in the first round, but he nearly fell out of the rotation vs. the Warriors. As for matching up with the Grizzlies' rugged frontcourt, Bonner said that "it's more about matching their physicality and being in the right position so you can rely on your teammates to help you."

McDonald writes that the knee has bothering Leonard "all year," and it "affects him some nights more than others." Leonard missed some time during the regular season with what the team called right knee/quad tendinitis, and it's something that bears watching as the Spurs prepare for the Western Conference Finals against a tough Grizzlies team.

"It's not going to be pretty," he said. "Sorry. It's just not going to be. It's going to be two teams trying to impose wills on each other. It's going to be a rough one. If you thought this [series] was physical, it's going to turn up about 10 notches." It's a fantastic quote from one of the game's more candid players, but this is also the same guy who famously flipped off an onlooker who was filming him leaving a CVS last season. We can't wait to see Duncan battle Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol.

All five Spurs starters were in double figures, but defense was the story for the Spurs. They held the Warriors to just 38.8 percent shooting, including 4-of-16 from downtown. Duncan didn't play too much down the stretch tonight, but Gregg Popovich said after the game that it was his decision to keep TD on the bench. Duncan will be ready to go for Sunday and he'll have his hands full against the formidable Memphis big men.

It wasn't his best game, but at least he hit a huge 3-pointer that served as the dagger to get San Antonio to the next round. He'll have his hands full against Mike Conley and the Grizzles, which could be trouble with the inconsistencies in the Spurs' O against inferior defensive teams.
