That's because the Memphis Grizzlies rewrote the history books by becoming the latest and only the second 8th seed to bump off a 1st seed since the NBA changed the 1st round format to a 7-game affair by defeating the San Antonio Spurs 91-99.
Once again, it was former NBA outcast Zach Randolph who led the way for the Grizzlies by scoring 31points and grabbing 11 rebounds. Marc Gasol had 12 points and 13 rebounds while Greivis Vasquez scored 11 points off the bench.
The loss capped a frustration series for the Spurs, who had a great season on the way to the NBA's best record but could not even come close to matching the intensity and passion of the upstart Grizzlies.
Tony Parker scored 23 points, Manu Ginobili had 16points and Tim Duncan scored 12 points.
