NBA WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS: GRIZZLIES v SPURS


May 21, 2013


Gregg Popovich


SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS: Game Two

San Antonio – 93
Memphis ‑ 89, OT


Q.  Can you give us your take on Tim Duncan in the overtime playing with the five fouls and what he was able to do?
GREGG POPOVICH:  Obviously he basically took over for us in that overtime scoring‑wise, did a great job, just took it upon himself to be aggressive, and it helped us win.

Q.  (No microphone).
GREGG POPOVICH:  Sometimes your worst nightmare is a big lead, and it's tough to keep leads often times.  We were fortunate in Game 1 to be able to do it, and tonight we weren't able to do it.  They're a heck of a basketball team and they're not going to give in.  But in the third and fourth quarters, they did a better job than we did with 50/50 balls, executing offense, and I thought while we turned it over, we also fell into a lot of poor shots, end of clock, and that allowed them to get back into the game.

Q.  The first half, discuss your defense in the first half.
GREGG POPOVICH:  Well, we did a very good job defensively in the first half.  Second half it was relatively average, but there's no stopping until you get a board, until you get the 50/50 ball or a board, and they got them all.  They did a great job of that.

Q.  Anything different that they did on Tony?  He had 16 assists.
GREGG POPOVICH:  No, Tony has learned to take what's offered between scoring and assists.  He moved the ball well, and I don't know what he ended up with, 15 or 16.  I didn't see the‑‑

Q.  15 and 18.
GREGG POPOVICH:  Okay.
