under is the play..even they are pushing the tempo this year, Spurs have defensive character..this may be their last chance, their final game of the season..they have to show their hard defense and find the best options in offense with their ball movement..Rudy Gayless Memphis is also not an offensive team..they have to keep on strong in exterior defense..
in order for SA to win this game they have to slow the tempo down... they cannot run with MEM... MEM knows this and have been pushing the tempo on every possession on purpose... they gradually wear down the Spurs older legs..... MEM is trying to get fastbreaks and are being coached to run the length of the court on every possession, regardless of wether fastbreak points are available.
