The San Antonio Spurs host the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 2 of the 2013 NBA Western Conference Finals. If you can't watch the game or listen to the game, then you're in the right place as we will bring you all the action that takes place in the AT&T Center as the Spurs attempt to take a 2-0 lead in their series. Join us in this live blog as we bring you scoring updates, commentary and stats of Game 2.

The Spurs were the far superior team in Game 1. They hit big threes throughout the game. They shut down one of the Grizzlies key players and they had everybody contribute something to the game. The only battles the Spurs lost in Game 1 were rebounding (36-34) and free throw shooting as the Grizzlies went to the line six more times than the Spurs (20-14). San Antonio hit nine more threes than the Grizzlies as they chucked up 16 more threes in the game. The difference of threes made, however, was enough as it guided the Spurs to a 105-83 victory.

The Grizzlies have to make a lot of adjustments, mainly on defense as they looked incapable of keeping up with the Spurs offense. San Antonio simply had everything going their way. They were passing, hitting shots and playing defense. The Grizzlies looked as helpless as the Golden State Warriors, maybe even worse.

However, though the Grizzlies lost Game 1, this isn't the first time they've dropped their game of a series. In fact, the Grizzlies might be one of the better come-from-behind teams in the league. They lost two to the L.A. Clippers before winning four straight. Then they lost Game 1 to the OKC Thunder and then went on to win the next four games in that series. Granted, the Grizzlies looked horrible in the first game, they are bound to find their groove and if they don't find it in Game 2, then they have to find it at home in Game 3. Of course, it is recommended to win one in San Antonio, but the Spurs lost a two-game lead last year in the Western Conference Finals, so having the Spurs win Game 2 will not automatically mean the end of the Grizzlies series.
