Overtime Needed, But Spurs Rally Down 18 To Take 3-0 Series Lead Over Grizzlies – Project Spurs

“It was one of the worst starts I’ve ever seen,” said San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich Saturday after his team had to rally behind an 18-point deficit to take a 3-0 Western Conference Series lead over the Memphis Grizzlies in overtime.

Why was it the worst start according to Popovich? In the first quarter, his starters came out unfocused and committed eight turnovers out of the gate, to help the Grizzlies begin with a quick 5-0 run. His starters still couldn’t get their act together so he pulled his entire starting five and threw out his bench midway through the quarter. When the first quarter ended, the Spurs found themselves down 29-13.
