San Antonio Spurs forward Jonathon Simmons had no mercy on the Memphis Grizzlies‘ shooting guard Wayne Selden despite being up 31 points in the fourth quarter, chasing him down in transition and violently rejecting his shot off the backboard.

No Euro-step for you!
The Spurs were locked-in on defense to start the playoffs, limiting the short-handed Grizzlies to 39.2 percent shooting throughout the game.
Simmons made the most of his 14 minutes on the floor, tallying six points, two rebounds, two assists, and this thunderous block to put the fans on their feet despite a 100-69 lead with 5:27 to go in the game.
Memphis was sorely missing their Second Team All-Defense ace Tony Allen, as Kawhi Leonard had a field day with a 32-point night, coming rather easily in 11-of-14 shooting from the field.
