The Spurs own a 2-0 lead in best-of-seven series, which moves
to Memphis for Game 3 on Friday and Game 4 on Sunday.
San Antonio led from the start and methodically took apart the
Grizzlies. The Spurs built their lead from 11 points after one
quarter to 14 at halftime, 17 after three quarters and as much
as 28 in the fourth while playing their bench players for the
majority of the final period.
The 68 points were Memphis' lowest offensive output of the
season, supplanting the 74 points the Grizzlies scored Sunday in
a 106-74 defeat in Game 1 of the series.
Hawks 89, Celtics 72
ATLANTA -- Kyle Korver busted out of a shooting slump and buried
banged-up Boston with a barrage of first-half 3-pointers in an
Atlanta win in Game 2 at Philips Arena.
Korver hit five 3-pointers, four coming in the first seven
minutes of the game, to put the Celtics in another big early
hole. He entered the game having made only three of his last 19
3-point attempts, including an 0-for-7 performance in Game 1.
Atlanta led by as many as 21 in the first half Tuesday. They
built a 19-point lead in the first half of Game 1, before
fending off a Celtics rally in a one-point win. There was no
serious rally in Game 2.
Atlanta's Al Horford scored 17 points and blocked five shots,
and Jeff Teague scored 13 points and had six assists.
The series shifts to Boston on Friday, with the Hawks leading
2-0.
