Ronald Tillery of the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports:
By beating the Spurs, the Grizzlies secured their first nonlosing season since the 2005-06 campaign.
Memphis improved to 41-33, one more win than it mustered last season. But don’t throw a parade, says Griz coach Lionel Hollins.
The Griz have more lofty goals after beating the San Antonio Spurs, 111-104, on Sunday night in FedExForum.
“We have a long ways to go. Forty-one was not our goal at the start of the season. It’s still not our goal,” Hollins said. “It’s a milestone in terms of being able to finish (at least) .500, which the team hasn’t done in a few years. It’s good for the organization and our fans. For us, we still have a lot of work to do.”
The Griz have treated their fans to 24 wins in their last 30 home games. At FedExForum, the Griz are 20-0 this season when they lead at halftime.
