The San Antonio Spurs held off a strong charge from Mike Conley and the Memphis Grizzlies at AT&T Center on Tuesday night to capture a 116-103 Game 5 win and take a 3-2 series lead.Kawhi Leonard and Tony Parker headlined proceedings for the Southwest Division champions with 28 and 16 points, respectively, but the real story was the play of San Antonio's bench.A game after all Spurs reserves combined to score 17 points, players comprising San Antonio's second unit poured in 46 points.Chief among those contributors was Manu Ginobili, who was held scoreless in the first four games of the series.
