The Memphis Grizzlies had a great season, albeit short season, but managed to score the 4th seed in the Western Division playoffs. This landed them home court advantage against the LA Clippers. The Clippers are very evenly matched with the Grizzlies and it was not until the very last game of the season that the Grizzlies won and the Clippers lost that we knew Memphis had secured home court advantage. Memphis had a HUGE lead in game 1 (over 20 points with 8:00 to go in the 4th quarter) but blew it. This set the tone for the series but Memphis tends to not give up too easily. We were hoping to get to attend a game, but all were at 8:30 at night on school nights!! Luckily, Gary's work had a pair of tickets for each game in their corporate seats that are very low and great seats and Gary won a pair for Game 5 in Memphis. It was on Wednesday night starting at 8:30. We were ready! The girls were excited for a mid-week sleepover with the grandparents and Gary and I were hoping for a good game and the energy to make it until the midnight finish!! The Grizzlies played a good game and managed a solid win. We had a great time and enjoyed the atomosphere of the playoffs. We did not get to bed until after midnight and were exhausted the next day but each of us managed to get a workout done and be somewhat energetic!! Fun times!!
