MEMPHIS, Tennessee (Ticker) -- For the second time in three days,

Southwest Division contest.
The Spurs escaped with a thrilling 80-79 triumph in the front
end of a home-and-home series that concludes here Monday.
Saturday's game was decided on Tim Duncan's alley-oop layup with
7.2 seconds left.
Pau Gasol scored 26 points for Memphis but was 4-of-13 from the
free-throw line and had five turnovers. The Grizzlies had a
chance to pull out the win, but Bobby Jackson's last-second
jumper was off the mark.

scored 20 points and dished out seven assists, including the
floating inbounds pass that Duncan turned into the final points
of the game. Ginobli has been battling a foot injury.

last eight games overall and five of six against the Spurs
before Saturday's defeat.
