NBA Playoffs TV Schedule: Tuesday Channel to Watch is ESPN as Grizzlies Visit Spurs

May 21, 2013 04:50 PM EDT

The NBA Playoffs are back so tune into your television to watch Game 2 of the Memphis Grizzlies at the San Antonio Spurs. With the Spurs having a chance to take a 2-0 series lead in the Western Conference Finals, here's where to watch the action live on television. 

Tune into ESPN at 9 p.m. ET if you want to watch Game 2 live and in the comfort of your homes or, for that matter, somebody else's home. 

The Grizzlies don't have their backs against the wall even if they lose Game 2. Of course, it's preferable not to, but the Spurs proved to be the superior team in this series after thumping Memphis 105-83 in Game 1. Tim Duncan did a superb job on Zach Randolph on defense, while the Spurs offense knocked three after three establishing a franchise record for most shots hit beyond the arc in a postseason game with 14. 

San Antonio once again has a chance to take a 2-0 lead in a Western Conference Finals as they spoiled their chances of facing the Miami Heat in last year's championship. The Oklahoma City Thunder proved too dynamic in the closing four games of the series and the Spurs couldn't find a way to win. Many wondered if Duncan was done last year and many questioned Tony Parker's ability to keep up with elite point guards in the league. Now, the question is, can the younger Mike Conley defend the veteran Parker?

The benches will play a key role in this game and in the future of this series. Quincy Pondexter had a huge Game 1 off the Grizzlies' bench hitting 5-9 threes and scoring 17 points. However, the Red Mamba had four threes and he scored 12 points in Game 1, not to mention Gary Neal added 11 points after shooting 5-8 from the floor. 

The Grizzlies have the size and strength, but the Spurs gameplan was better in Game 1. What adjustments will the Grizzlies make? Can the Spurs continue attacking and imposing their will on the Grizzlies?

Watch Game 2 tonight on ESPN.
