    Postgame reaction after the San Antonio Spurs beat the Memphis Grizzlies 93-86 to sweep the National Basketball Association (NBA) Western Conference Finals on Monday at FedExForum in Memphis, Tennessee.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Lionel Hollins, Memphis Grizzlies Head Coach

    "He (Tony Parker) was outstanding the whole series. And he controlled the series with his penetration, he made shots, made plays. One game he has 18 assists, today he has 37 points, so he was huge. But their team played well. You got to give them credit. They played well from the very first game. They came out, they had a game plan and they stuck to it through the whole series. They didn't let us up for air at all. We had a couple of chances in the two overtime games. We had a chance tonight, but they earned the win. They deserve to move on."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Gregg Popovich, San Antonio Spurs Head Coach

    "I thought the Grizzlies were, I don't believe we won this thing 4-0. We didn't kick anybodies butt and I'm not trying to be overly gracious or anything, it's true. A couple of plays here and there in just about every single game could have changed the whole darn thing. So, we're thrilled to be able to win this series. But Memphis was a hell of a competitor."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Tony Parker, San Antonio Spurs Guard

    "It's a great feeling, since last year, I promised to him (Tim Duncan) that we'll go back to the finals and get an opportunity to win the whole thing. And I try to do my best, try to be aggressive every night. And I think everybody on the team really wanted to do it for him (Tim duncan). So, we win the west and now there's one more step. This is the hardest one and we don't know who we're going to play yet, but we know it's going to be tough. But right now let's enjoy it and we'll focus on who we are playing later."
