The Memphis Grizzlies and San Antonio Spurs face off at 9 p.m. ET. If you can't watch the live streaming action on your television, check out ESPN's online live stream of Game 3. The Spurs are just one game away from virtually wrapping this series up.
San Antonio has taken the charge and been able to survive Memphis rallies in both games. The Grizzlies are tough, but the Spurs have been able to impose their game on Memphis. Tony Parker might be a bit banged up, but he is the leading scorer in this series having dropped 35 points through the first two games of the series. Guess who the Spurs' second highest scorer? If you guess Tim Duncan, you are wrong. Kawhi Leonard has provided offense scoring 30 points in the first two games of the series. However, Duncan is greatly responsible for have the Spurs up 2-0 in the series as he was the answer in overtime.
The Grizzlies have no answers to the Spurs dominating offense. Once the ball gets rolling with San Antonio, Memphis has trouble stopping them from getting to the basket. As a result, the Spurs have led for a good portion of this series. If the Grizzlies can just find a momentary answer to the Spurs offense, then they have a great chance of winning.
The Spurs are a veteran team and they know the deal. They know they lost last year's 2-0 lead in the Western Conference Finals. They know that the Grizzlies play great basketball at home as they have yet to lose a game at the FedEx Forum. They also know that the Grizzlies play great basketball when trailing in games and in series. They know they have to come out in Game 3 firing, or else the Grizzlies' crowd might get into their heads. The crowd is a psychological factor, but home teams really hate disappointing home fans.
The Spurs would rather take one of two from Memphis and then wrap the series up in Game 5 at home. So far in the playoffs, the Spurs have been the most successful team as they possess the highest winning percentage, winning 10 of 12 games played in the 2013 NBA Playoffs.
