Print Edition
THE Memphis Grizzlies followed up their victory over league-leading Golden State with a 117-116 triumph over reigning National Basketball Association champion San Antonio in a triple-overtime thriller on Wednesday.
Zach Randolph scored all six of the Grizzlies’ points in the third overtime, finishing with 21 points and 21 rebounds.
The Grizzlies’ Spanish center Marc Gasol added 26 points and nine rebounds, delivering a 3-pointer as time expired in regulation to force the first overtime.
Vince Carter made five 3-pointers en route to 18 points and Mike Conley added 14 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds for the Grizzlies, who beat the short-handed Spurs despite squandering a 23-point lead.
Memphis has won six in a row to improve to 21-4. On Tuesday it snapped the Warriors’ win streak at 16 games.
“It feels good to finally beat them,” said Randolph, whose Grizzlies had lost nine straight to the Spurs.
Danny Green connected on seven of 13 three-point attempts and finished with 25 points and seven rebounds for the Spurs, who dropped their second straight.
Tim Duncan had 23 points, 16 rebounds and three blocked shots. His fade-away jump shot bounced off the rim before falling in to knot the score at 111-111 as time expired in the second overtime.
The Spurs were without French point guard Tony Parker, who missed another game with a strained left hamstring, and Kawhi Leonard, who suffered a left hand injury late in a loss at Portland on Monday.
Elsewhere, it was: Suns 111, Hornets 106; Hawks 127, Cavaliers 98; Jazz 105, Heat 87; Mavericks 117, Pistons 106; Celtics 109, Magic 92; Raptors 105, Nets 89; Trail Blazers 104, Bucks 97; Clippers 102, Pacers 100; and Rockets 115, Nuggets 111 (in overtime).
