Final: Spurs 106, Grizzlies 103 (2OT)
SECOND OVERTIME
Tony Parker scored 10 points in the overtimes and Kurt Thomas held down the defense inside after Tim Duncan fouled out as the Spurs beat the Memphis Grizzlies 106-103 in double overtime.
An O.J. Mayo 3-pointer cut the Spurs' lead to 105-103. The Grizzlies have the ball with 12.9 seconds left in the second OT. The shot clock is off.
Tony Parker hit back-to-back jumpers and the Spurs lead 105-100 with 1:19 left in the second overtime. The Grizzlies haven't made a basket in the period.
The Spurs lost another player. Bruce Bowen fouled out with 3:48 left in the second overtime and the Spurs leading 101-99. Memphis' Rudy Gay made one of two free throws and the Spurs still led 101-100.
Kurt Thomas made the first basket of the second OT when he grabbed an offensive rebound and put it back in. The basket accounted for his first points of the game.
FIRST OVERTIME
Marc Gasol made one of two free throws to tie it 99-99 with 7.4 seconds left in overtime. We're headed to a second OT.
Tony Parker's driving basket put the Spurs in front 99-98. The Grizzlies have the ball with 24.8 seconds left in the game and 20 seconds on the shot clock.
Tim Duncan fouled out with 1:13 left in OT. It's the first time this year he has fouled out. Kurt Thomas is in for Duncan.
FOURTH QUARTER: 90-90
The game is headed to overtime tied 90-90.
Tony Parker hit a pair of free throws with 47.2 seconds left to tie it 90-90. A defensive stop for the Spurs would go a long way right now.
After making only two 3-pointers in the first three quarters, the Spurs have hit four in the first 10 minutes of the fourth quarter - two by Michael Finley and one each by Manu Ginobili and Bruce Bowen. That is keeping them in the game.
Marc Gasol completed a three-point play and O.J. Mayo hit a jumper with 6:15 left to put the Grizzlies in front 79-76.
Michael Finley hit 3-pointers on back-to-back possession and a Tim Duncan basket put the Spurs in front 76-74 with 7:10 left for their first lead of the second half.
The game is getting a little rough in the fourth quarter. Tim Duncan was just hit with a technical with 8:58 left and the Grizzlies leading 70-68.
THIRD QUARTER
Tim Duncan scored 13 points in the third quarter and the period ended tied 66-66 after the Grizzlies led by as many as 11 points.
The Spurs are on a 7-0 run and look like they have some momentum building even though the Grizzlies still lead 57-53.
The Spurs look like they need a spark. They might have just gotten it from Bruce Bowen. He hit a 3-pointer, only the Spurs' second of the game, with 6:52 left in the third quarter.
Memphis' Marc Gasol had two baskets early in the second half. A Quinton Ross basket extended the Grizzlies' lead to 57-46.
SECOND QUARTER
The Grizzlies shot 51 percent from the field and outrebounded the Spurs 21-14 to take a 49-42 halftime lead.
The Grizzlies' Hakim Warrick scored 10 points in less than five minutes to carry Memphis to a 38-33 lead.
The Grizzlies made a 10-2 run early in the second to go in front 29-25 - their biggest lead so far.
The Spurs opened the second quarter with three guards - George Hill, Manu Ginobili and Roger Mason - and two big men - Matt Bonner and Kurt Thomas.
FIRST QUARTER
Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker combined to outscore the Grizzlies 10-2 at the end of the first quarter as the Spurs took a 23-18 lead.
Rudy Gay and O.J. Mayo helped break the Grizzlies out of their scoring slump. They went on an 8-0 run and lead 16-15.
The Spurs built an early 11-6 lead and coach Gregg Popovich didn't look happy. The obvious cause for concern was rebounding - the Grizzlies out-boarded the Spurs 6-1 to start the game. Memphis missed 7 of 8 shots to start the game. A Rudy Gay tip-in gave the Grizzlies' their second basket and cut the lead to 11-8 and led to Popovich calling a timeout.
PREGAME
Spurs starters: Tony Parker, Roger Mason Jr., Michael Finley, Tim Duncan and Matt Bonner.
Just before tipoff, the final play of the Spurs' Christmas day victory over the Suns was replayed on the big screen. Mason, who made the winning shot, was then given a rousing cheer when he was introduced with the starting lineup.
spurs speak after march
they are just getting ready for their run in march
you would know that if you are a spur fan not a troll
Actually, I agree with him on both counts.WILL YOU JUST STFU ALREADY!!
Spurs are not elite this year. Rebounding isn't good enough, bench is inconsistent, and the defense isn't there.
This is good for the new guys, there will be tons of this come playoff.
It drives me crazy that the announcers cry about how unfair they were treated by the officials when Duncan and Bowen fouled out.
that game
Because he played terrible D in the 2nd quarter just like the bad D he played in Phoenix
hill -14 in first half and no d
No- I am just honest and not a homer. Memphis got fouled but a young team will never get a call like that at the end of a game on the road.
This season Spurs fans get all excited about close wins over awful teams and then implode when they lose to the above .500 teams.
Not really... I'm not saying the Spurs are bad but one of their wins is a buzzer beater, and 3 in double overtime. That's usually "variance" more than it is "good basketall".
if the playoffs started today, it would be Spurs-Mavs round 1
Take a ride!

I thought it would be suns vs spurs
spurs kick suns out again
this argument doesn't have any substance to it. The Spurs won 58+ in all of their championship runs and were winning by 7-8 points per game. So even if they were "half assing" the regular season, they sure as were better at it than the current edition.
Be honest and admit that you are now a Darko-worshipper to go along with your Rasho love. Damn you must be a piece of work to fall for soft Euros like that.
but its December. If you have followed the spurs over the years they play thier best in March. And so what if Spurs win at buzzer beaters, great teams find a way to win anyway.
spurs blow out mem the last 2 times they played them
it is not like they had barley beat them when they play them
good game from mem tonight
I really don't see anyone here saying we're going to win the Championship after this game. I'm pretty sure everyone here is well aware we still have holes to fill and lots of improvement to be done to get to that higher level.
I really don't know what you're on about.
The Lakers nearly lose to these guys a couple of games ago. Do the Lakers suck? Plus Memphis probably had some confidence after playing the Lakers close and beating the Pacers last night. They're a young team and showed some good energy tonight.
The Spurs can finish close games. That's the mark of champion, but you wouldn't understand.
it was christmas that all
