As series extend in the playoffs the trend has been good teams have tightened up their defense. Memphis is known for their defense and many people would like to write them off based on their opponents thus far in the playoffs. The Clippers were banged up and the Thunder were without Russell Westbrook. The truth of the matter is that the Grizzlies keep things simple.

Defensively they communicate and play stellar half court defense. Some games things just do not go well. The Spurs broke a three point record in game one, and as a result the final was a lopsided affair.

This should be a great chance for the Grizzlies to bounce back and limit the Spurs offense. Memphis is not going to ever standout offensively, so thus I like the under of 181.5 as today’s free play.
