Spurs at Grizzlies: The Rodeo Road Trip Ends in Memphis

 Spurs at Grizzlies: The Rodeo Road Trip Ends in Memphis

The San Antonio Spurs' long and arduous Rodeo Road Trip reaches its conclusion tonight in Memphis, where they face off against the Grizzlies. This marks the end of a journey that started on February 3 with a tough 128-109 loss to the Grizzlies, and the Spurs are currently on a four-game losing streak—their longest of the season.

Memphis was the team that kicked off this difficult stretch for the Spurs, and with the Spurs in a bit of a tailspin, it’s looking like it might get worse before it gets better. With the Thunder waiting for them back at home tomorrow, this game feels like it could be the one where the Spurs finally start to find some fight. They’ve been knocked down multiple times, but maybe tonight they get mad enough to show some grit and make Memphis uncomfortable.

This game, which is being broadcast on KENS in the San Antonio area, gives fans who know how to work their antennas the chance to watch a bit ahead of the online streamers. And with the Spurs’ recent performance in garbage time, where even in defeat they showed some signs of tenacity, there’s hope that they can carry that same intensity into tonight’s matchup.

Game Prediction:
In a fiery turn of events, interim coach Mitch Johnson channels some of Gregg Popovich's fire and gets a little more confrontational with the refs. The result? A fiery ejection and a historic, colorful rant that leaves everyone in the arena wondering just how those words made it out.

Final Thoughts:
It’s been a tough stretch, but the Spurs will have one last shot at making a statement before heading home. Here’s to hoping they close out this road trip with some grit, and as always, GO SPURS GOOOO!!
