The Spurs are coming off a 135-129 road loss versus the Grizzlies.
Keldon Johnson had 24 points and four rebounds to lead the team while Tre Jones added 22 points. Josh Richardson finished with 12 points and one rebound while Jakob Poeltl recorded 17 points and 12 rebounds in the loss.
Memphis exploded for 44 points in the second quarter and held on to the lead for the remainder of the contest. The Grizzlies would lead 76-62 at halftime, tying their highest-scoring single half of the season.
"They never quit. It's a tribute to their character. You can't coach that," Gregg Popovich said. "Sure, we're making mistakes and we need to develop habits and that's what we try to do. They never quit and I was really proud of them."
