Sports Network
The San Antonio Spurs have been living dangerously lately but that doesn't mean that haven't been living like a winner, and the NBA's best team will try and nail down another victory tonight when they entertain the Memphis Grizzlies in the Alamo City.
For the second straight night Manu Ginobili played the hero on Thursday. The Argentine star rattled in the go-ahead shot with 4.2 seconds left, then took a game-winning charge on Carmelo Anthony at the other end to give San Antonio a thrilling 113-112 win over Denver.
A day earlier Ginobili put the finishing touches on a 26-point night by hitting a 20-foot fadeaway at the buzzer to give San Antonio a thrilling 92-90 win over the Milwaukee Bucks.
Against the Nuggets, Ginobili beat a double-team for his bucket, scoring the last of his 16 points with a running bank shot that bounced around the rim before dropping.
Anthony then drove hard down the lane at the other end, knocking Ginobili over and hitting what appeared to hit a game-winning shot at the buzzer. But the Nuggets forward was called for the offensive foul, and San Antonio inbounded the ball to run off the final ticks.
"That pretty much says it all about what he's capable of doing," Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich said of Ginobili's well-rounded effort.
It was a frantic end to San Antonio's seventh straight win, which gave the Spurs (22-3) their best 25-game start in franchise history.
Tim Duncan had 28 points and 16 rebounds in the victory, while Tony Parker scored 24 with nine assists.
The Grizzlies, meanwhile, dropped the opener of a two-day tour of Texas in Houston on Friday when Kevin Martin scored 34 points, and Kyle Lowry supplied 17 points and a career-high 18 assists in a Rockets' 103-87 victory over Memphis.
Rudy Gay and Sam Young scored 19 points apiece, and Zach Randolph contributed 13 points and nine rebounds for the Grizzlies, who had won four straight coming in.
Gay, meanwhile, could be suspended against San Antonio for knocking Rockets forward Luis Scola to the floor in the fourth quarter. Memphis' leading scorer was ejected for a flagrant-2 foul.
"I kind of let my anger get the best of me and it's not characteristic of me or anybody else on this team," Gay said.
Memphis snapped a two-game skid versus the Spurs back in April of last season but San Antonio has traditionally had its way with the Grizzlies in the Alamo City, compiling a 23-6 all-time record against them.

I believe that Kogut is the worst ref currently officiating in the NBA.
Gay is suspended for this game. It's official.
...and Marat did not change that opinion tonight. He was the one making all of the strange calls. Pop and Dice were both shaking their heads over a couple of them. Kogut also made the borderline 8 seconds call. The rebound was snagged at 1:40. Tony's foot crossed half-court as the clock was moving from 1:32 to 1:31. Shame on TP for lollygagging, though.
