Grizzlies win in triple overtime against the Spurs

After defeating the best record team in the Western Conference last night, tonight the Grizzlies get a win by beating 2014 NBA Champs San Antonio Spurs. It took three overtimes to get the job done, but the Memphis Grizzlies defeated the 117-116. In regulation Marc Gasol hit a game tying three in regulation, to send the game into overtime at 92-92. Zach Randolph entered the 20-20 club by scoring 21 and 21, or I want to refer to it as double blackjack. Vinsanity dominated off the bench again by scoring 18. Six Memphis Grizzlies players scored at least 14 points this game. The Six Memphis players who scored 14 plus points are Marc Gasol with 26, Zach Randolph with 21, Vince Carter with 18, Kosta Koufos with 16, and point guard Mike Conley with 14. The Grizzlies out shot the Spurs on the free throw line by 30 percent. If you want to win games San Antonio you can't shoot 48 percent from the free throw line. Here are the stats for each team

I am impressed with the play of the Western Conference pro basketball team Memphis Grizzlies the last two nights. The Grizzlies have the second best record in the Western Conference, and trail the best team in the Western Conference Golden State Warriors by half a game for the best record in the Western Conference. If you can beat the best record and the last years champs in a two night span, I like the Southwest Division NBA Team Memphis Grizzlies chances in the 2015 playoffs. Send me your comments on this game or any other game. Thank you for reading Pro Basketball Hoops Land.
