Game 4 of Spurs-Grizzlies delayed by power surge

The San Antonio Spurs' inevitable march to the Western Conference semifinals was temporarily delayed on Sunday, and it had nothing to do with the Memphis Grizzlies.

Game 4 was brought to a halt early in the second quarter due to a power surge in downtown Memphis that caused an outage at the FedExForum.

With 10:03 remaining in the opening half, the lights went out in the arena while Tony Parker brought the ball up the court, resulting in an 18-minute delay. According to ESPN's broadcast, a county-wide voltage drop caused a flicker throughout downtown Memphis.

The Spurs eventually cruised to a 116-95 victory to complete the four-game sweep.
