Crowd gives Grizzlies standing ovation after series loss to Spurs

It would've been a herculean feat on the part of the undermanned Memphis Grizzlies had they taken a game from the San Antonio Spurs in their opening-round series, let alone won the entire thing.

By the end of their 116-95 Game 4 loss Sunday afternoon, resulting in a series sweep, it was clear they never stood a chance without their top players in the lineup.

Nonetheless, the Grizzlies fans still remaining at the FedExForum showed the players that their efforts in the face of tremendous adversity didn't go unnoticed. The crowd rose to their feet, raised their yellow "all heart" towels in the air, and gave the Grizzlies one final salute as they exited the floor.

Even though #Grizzlies got swept, fans on their feet in #Memphis holding ALL HEART growl towels! We never gave up! http://pic.twitter.com/ezbvjfoJvS
