2. San Antonio Spurs (Up 2-0 on Memphis Grizzlies)

The Spurs situation is a bit different, given the troubles of their opponents. But they’ve done what they are supposed to do, and that’s dominate the weaker team. Both of the Spurs wins have come by a combined 58 points. They’ve also played their usual defense, allowing just 71 ppg and 36% from the field. Kwahi Leonard’s numbers aren’t great for obvious reasons, but averaging 16.5 ppg, 3 spg, and 2 bpg isn’t too shabby. Having a defensive rating of 75 shows how destructive he’s been so far.
