Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
SAN ANTONIO, Feb. 19 (UPI) -- Tim Duncan's basket with 36.3 seconds left in overtime snapped a tie and lifted the San Antonio Spurs to a 99-93 victory Tuesday night over the Memphis Grizzlies.
It was San Antonio's 17th straight win over Memphis, a streak that dates to Feb. 12, 1997. The Spurs are 22-3 all time against the Grizzlies' franchise.
Duncan took a pass from Antonio Daniels and, with Grizzlies' rookie Pau Gasol's hand in his face, put the ball off the glass and in to ignite a game-ending 6-0 spurt.
Duncan scored 23 points, leading four players in double figures.
San Antonio held an eight-point lead with 6:20 left in regulation but allowed Memphis to score the final eight points of the fourth quarter. The Grizzlies tied the game on a basket by rookie Shane Battier with just under 25 seconds left.
Battier and Gasol each scored 26 points for the Grizzlies, who are 6-22 on the road this season.
