Shooting guard Manu Ginobili was the hero du jour for the San Antonio Spurs this Wednesday evening as he scored 30 points, including the go-ahead basket with 32 seconds remaining, as the Spurs slipped past the Memphis Grizzlies, 104-101.? Ginobili was clutch as he scored 9 points down the final stretch and also drew a charge from Grizzlies forward Rudy Gay to preserve the Spurs’ lead.

The game was relatively close throughout with neither team having more than a 7-point lead.? In addition, there were 16 lead changes and 17 ties; the score was tied at 52 at halftime.? As one would imagine, the Spurs relied on forward-center Tim Duncan,?point guard?Tony Parker and Ginobili for their offense, while the Grizzlies spread the ball around.

The aforementioned Ginobili led the Spurs with 30 points, with Duncan and Parker adding 17 apiece.? The Spurs were without guard Jacque Vaughn with a strained calf, while reserve forward Robert Horry was away for personal reasons.? San Antonio (2-0) rests until Friday when they face the visiting Sacramento Kings, while Memphis (0-1) does not play again until Saturday when they welcome the Indiana Pacers to town.
