-

Kawhi Leonard scored 21 points as the Spurs routed the Memphis Grizzlies 116-95 on Sunday, sweeping the best-of-seven series and advancing to the Western Conference semifinals.

The Spurs finished off their ninth sweep of a post-season series in franchise history.

Meanwhile, Klay Thompson scored 23 points and the Golden State Warriors set a playoff record with 21 3-pointers to overcome another injury to Stephen Curry and beat the Rockets 121-94 for a 3-1 series lead.

Curry returned after missing two games with a sprained right ankle, but didn’t play in the second half after spraining his right knee.
