In the Western conference, basketball fans, bettors and tops seeds were stunned in the opening day of the playoffs. Spurs and Lakers both hace the home advantage, the top-seeded San Antonia were at 6.5 point favorite against Memphis. But because of Spur's electrifying shooting guard Manu Ginobilli's absence, the Spurs were unable to defend their homecourt as less Grizz rallied for a 101-98 win despite of their superstar Rudy Gay's absence.

Los Angeles Lakers too suffered the same fate as New Orleans Hornets beat them even without their All-Star forward David West.
