One of the bright spots for the Grizzlies in Game 3 was the improved play of veteran forward Zach Randolph, who finished with 20 points and 11 rebounds after being held to 8.5 points and 26.7 percent shooting in the first two games.
San Antonio Spurs center Tim Duncan picked up the 155th playoff win of his career with Sunday’s 116-95 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies, tying former teammate Robert Horry for second place on the NBA’s all-time playoff wins list for an individual player, per NBA.com/Stats on Twitter.

Stephen Curry suffered a new leg injury and Andrew Bogut was mired in fouls, but the Golden State Warriors were still victorious against the Houston Rockets.

As the Grizzlies tried to avoid elimination from this year’s NBA Playoffs, they managed to keep the game close for the first half. What else could we have done collectively? “And (to) see him change and his confidence grow every game is wonderful to watch”. He didn’t play in the fourth quarter, having already effectively carried the Spurs into the second round. Vince Carter took his time leaving the court, surveying the scene and waving to the crowd.
Boris Diaw scored as the shot clock was running down to put the Spurs ahead to stay with 7:47 left, starting a 7-0 run.
