The Grizzlies are now down 2-0 in the playoff series against the Spurs. After cutting a 26 point deficit to four, Memphis could not complete a comeback. The controversial officiating was one of the factors of the game, since many calls went the Spurs way especially in key moments. The view from the enemy is built according to various Twitter sources and San Antonio Spurs SB Nation Blog Pounding the rock GameThread.

First half
The two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year out here guarding Wayne Selden because Memphis has nobody else. Grizzlies' problem personified.
Kawhi made Vince Carter look twice his age on that play.
Grizz backcourt has to be the worst in the playoffs, with Harrison and Selden getting major minutes…
Marc Gasol has shot 1 of 7 since Duncan showed up to practice.
Where’s that aggressive Gasol that I saw last game? How will game change if he shows up?
We’re getting a lot of open shots, Grizz are lucky we aren’t up by like 25 now.
Green and Tony making the difference.
This was supposed to be competitive with Tony Allen? There's no way he made that much of a difference.
Second half
Carter to Kyle Anderson: "I'm 40-years-old and my 40 time is still better than yours."
They are battling the best they can.
Z-Bo killing us? This brings back some bad memories.
This is looking bad.
They cut it to four!!
The things that happen when I stop drinking. sigh
Let us never speak of this quarter again.
Pop interview coming up, right? That won't be pretty.
I would’ve called that foul on Conley's drive. We got away with one there.
Homecooking?
Does Kawhi ever miss from the line?
Oh god Pau, that was CLUTCH.

Kawhi is a superstar. A finals MVP. Two time DPOY. MVP candidate. Y'all think superstar calls don't exist? Think again. #GoSpursGo https://t.co/0luXnNjDMK

I'm a spurs fan but he has a point I even felt bad how many fouls they were calling I hope grizzlies give us a run but I doubt it #gospursgo https://t.co/XQ23xZRIAC

@poundingtherock Re FTs: SA fan, but pretty clear Spurs got benefit of serious homecooking in this game in 2nd half during Memphis' run. Complaint = valid.
