The Memphis Grizzlies finally bested the San Antonio Spurs in the playoffs. They took a decisive decision in Game 3 in winning 105-94, snapping a 10-game playoff losing streak against the Spurs. The game score is quite misleading, as Memphis shot 50.6% for the game, and the Spurs shot 47.2%, and both teams were highly effective from deep with both over 40%. Despite all the high-offensive variance, these teams failed to combine for 200 total points. Just 149 shots were attempted for the game, and the pace was ultra slow. The Grizzlies have averaged a meager 85.8 points per game in their last 11 playoff games vs. the Spurs. It took almost perfect offense last game to get to 199 total points, and it won't take much to lower that considerably in Game 4 to yet a higher total. The Spurs defense has been amazing all season and has gotten better lately. Over their last five games, the Spurs have allowed just 89.7 points per game. Memphis has stepped up their defense in division games, allowing just 97.8 overall and 46.6 in the first half. As a road favorite this season, San Antonio is 27-7 UNDER in the first half including 17-4 UNDER when favored by three or fewer points. Play on the UNDER in both the first-half and the full game.
