[תרגם] San Antonio Spurs players The San Antonio Spurs beat the Memphis Grizzlies, sweeping them in four games, to head to the NBA Finals and make the NBA boring in the process. At least the Golden State / Oakland Warriors can hang their heads high and say ‘At least we took them to a six game series.’ Now, the San Antonio Spurs, the NBA’s version of grass-growing television, wait for either the Miami Heat or The Indiana Pacers to finish their series.
