For seven days Sports Illustrated went behind the scenes with the Grizzlies as they battled the Thunder in the Western Conference semifinals. The result? An extended feature by Lee Jenkins, which appears in this week's issue of the Magazine (click here to subscribe to Sports Illustrated), and stunning photographs from SI photographer Robert Beck that follow the Grizzlies from the locker room to the court and beyond. Find the best of those photos below.
