Spurs cruise past Thunder, Mavericks; lose to Grizzlies at last.

Mike Conley was able to play in Memphis' win over the Spurs, with 12 assists

After defeating its two worst foes, the San Antonio Spurs bested the O-K-3 pretty easily, even with Carmelo Anthony back on the court. Westbrook had a poor game, which allowed for the Spurs defense to crunch down on the rest of the Thunder.

The Grizzlies got their 'pound of flesh' in one last face-off, roaring past the Spurs behind Marc Gasol's tremendous second half performance (30 points) after struggling with foul trouble.

Mike Conley had been unavailable for most of this season series, which ended 3-1 in favor of San Antonio, but he did his part tonight, still not looking 100% but able to be a playmaker for the Grizzlies. The Spurs had some chances late, but Patty Mills' deadeye was not able to connect in the final minute, as the gritty rivalry put another season in the books. The Spurs fouled down the stretch, just because mostly.

Jeremy Lamb lit up the Mavericks, most recently, on the road, as the Spurs now have just four games remaining on the schedule, still a game behind the Golden State Warriors, but who's counting. The former Hornets guard had 30 points, showing off his whole offensive arsenal--mid range jumpers, dunks past defenders, a three-pointer here and there, a getting-better fadeaway, finishing layups in traffic and making free throws.

The Mavericks were just not able to get into a groove, with Bismack Biyombo controlling the glass for the Spurs and Patty Mills hitting a few shots from deep. Games against Dallas can be competitive, but once the defending champions took a twenty-point lead in the second quarter, Kawhi Leonard was told to rest by Coach Popovich--as the more important playoffs loom near, winning 117-98.
