"It used to be the foundation on which the Spurs' dynasty was built.

The Spurs' defensive prowess has been spotty, to say the least, throughout this season.

But for at least one night, the Spurs played defense like back in the glory days in their 83-73 victory over Memphis Monday night.

The Spurs limited Memphis to 37 percent and only 50 points through three quarters in the convincing victory."
