The San Antonio Spurs will welcome the Memphis Grizzlies to AT&T Center for an NBA game on Thursday. The San Antonio Spurs lost 128-137 in their last game over the Mavericks. Johnson had 27 points to lead the short-handed Spurs. “They did a great job,” San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said. “A lot of guys got minutes. Combinations were a little strange probably, but their competitiveness and execution here and there were great. Really proud of them. They deserve to enjoy their evening.”
Playing the second game of a back-to-back, the Spurs were without starters Devin Vassell Jeremy Sochan and Zach Collins along with Keita Bates-Diop and Charles Bassey. But as they did in setting a franchise record with 22 3-pointers in a rousing victory over Orlando on Tuesday night, San Antonio responded with a balanced scoring effort. Branham had 20 points, Romeo Langford had 17 points and four others scored in double figures.
Mavericks: Dallas has won six straight against San Antonio. The Mavericks’ previous loss to the Spurs was April 11, 2021, in San Antonio. … Doncic and Irving were both in attendance, sitting at the end of the Mavericks bench. … Jaden Hardy has scored 20 points in all three of his career starts for the Mavericks. In a back-to-back set against Memphis, Hardy had 22 points on March 11 and 28 points on March 13.
The Memphis Grizzlies on the other hand lost 138-119 against the Heat in their last game. Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 25 for Memphis, which got 14 from Luke Kennard, 12 from Ziaire Williams and 11 apiece from Desmond Bane and Tyus Jones. “Credit to the Heat,” Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins said. “They played great tonight. They had an answer for everything we had. I thought our guys gave a great effort tonight. The Heat were just on a different level.”
Memphis (41-27) is now tied for second in the Western Conference with Sacramento, which won in Chicago. It was the sixth game that Memphis has played without Ja Morant, who was given an eight-game suspension by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver earlier Wednesday as the penalty for “conduct detrimental to the league” — in this case, the All-Star guard “holding a firearm in an intoxicated state while visiting a Denver area nightclub” and live-streaming it on March 4.
