Kawhi Leonard gave us our very first friendly bounce, ever since we decided to start tracking them, and it’s the best kind! We here at The Friendly Bounce would have been content with just a simple Tim Duncan bank shot in the second quarter, but Leonard stepped it up and gave us a dagger.

Out of the right corner, it goes off the rim and takes a nice friendly bounce off the glass into the basket for three points and the win. This victory for the San Antonio Spurs over the Memphis Grizzlies gives them a commanding 3-0 lead in the series, but more importantly it gives us our very first friendly bounce. Cheers of the many more that are surely on the way.
