ZACH RANDOLPH powered the Memphis Grizzlies into their first playoff series victory as they beat the San Antonio Spurs, 99-91, in Game 6 on Friday.
The eighth seeded Grizzlies lost three series and were 0-12 overall heading into this year’s playoffs.
But after a stunning road win against the Spurs in Game 1, the Grizzlies gained all the confidence they need to become just the second No. 8 seed to eliminate the No. 1 seed in a best-of-seven series.
Randolph best personified that confidence. He scored 31 points and grabbed 11 rebounds while repeatedly attacking San Antonio’s interior defense.
The Golden State Warriors shocked the Dallas Mavericks also in six games during the 2007 playoffs to become the first eighth seeded team to oust the top seed in a best-of-seven format.
