Furious end game run tows Grizzlies past Kings
Down 15 points at the start of the fourth quarter, the Memphis Grizzlies rallied for a most improbable 111-110 victory over the Sacramento Kings on an almost impossible shot Thursday night at FedExForum.
Still two points behind with 0.2 of a second showing on the clock, Grizzlies guard Vince Carter threw an overhead inbounds pass from the side of the court to under the hoop, where Courtney Lee appeared to catch it before throwing it in for the winning basket.
The officials spent several minutes reviewing the play. The Kings' bench believed that Sacramento center Ryan Hollins, who was guarding Carter, tipped the pass.
However, the play stood and Memphis improved its record to 8-1 and won its 18th straight regular-season home game.
Bulls 100, Raptors 93
Forward Pau Gasol scored 27 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, and the Chicago Bulls snapped the Toronto Raptors' five-game winning streak with a 100-93 victory.
The Bulls, who took command of the game by outscoring Toronto 35-14 in the third quarter, improved their road record to 5-0.
Guard Jimmy Butler had 21 points, nine rebounds and six assists for the Bulls, and guard Derrick Rose added 20 points. Forward Mike Dunleavy scored 14, and forward Taj Gibson had 10.
Guard Kyle Lowry led Toronto with 20 points and eight assists, and he tied for the team lead with eight rebounds.
