Spurs beat Grizzlies in OT
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 20 - 12 - 2010

SAN ANTONIO: San Antonio's NBA winning streak only just survived a strong Memphis challenge Saturday, with Tony Parker scoring 16 of his 37 points in the fourth quarter and overtime to give the Spurs a 112-106 win over the Grizzlies.
Parker was 15 for 21 from the field, putting up a season high while scoring nine of San Antonio's final 10 points in regulation. His 8-footer with 1:01 left in overtime also helped seal a third straight down-to-the-wire Spurs victory, and their eighth straight overall.
Memphis was without the suspended Rudy Gay, but O.J. Mayo (27 points) hit a game-tying 3-pointer with 21 seconds left to force overtime.
Jazz 95, Bucks 86: In Milwaukee, Utah overcame a double-digit deficit for the ninth time this season and overhauled Milwaukee.
The Jazz shook off a season-low 71 points in their previous game to surge home after falling behind by 12 early. Deron Williams scored 22 points and added 11 assists, while Al Jefferson added 18 points and nine rebounds for the Jazz, which had 10 of its 14 offensive rebounds in the second half.
Andrew Bogut scored 19 points and had nine rebounds to lead the Bucks.
Heat 95, Wizards 94: In Washington, Miami survived a fright from lowly Washington to notch a 12th straight win.
LeBron James had 32 points, seven rebounds and six assists. James and Chris Bosh got away with contact on Kirk Hinrich on a potential game-winning layup, letting the Heat edge the last-place Wizards, who nearly pulled off the upset without injured No. 1 pick John Wall and the just-traded Gilbert Arenas.
Dwyane Wade made a pair of free throws with 7.9 seconds to play to give the Heat their only lead of the fourth quarter. He and Bosh both finished with 20 points.
Nick Young tied his season high with 30 points for the Wizards.
76ers 97, Magic 89: In Orlando, Lou Williams scored 24 points as Philadelphia beat an Orlando team in the midst of a major roster change.
Andre Iguodala had 21 points for the 76ers. The Magic had only eight players available after two major trades earlier in the day. They acquired troubled guard Gilbert Arenas from Washington, and Hedo Turkoglu and Jason Richardson from Phoenix.
Cavaliers 109, Knicks 102, OT: In Cleveland, Mo Williams scored 23 points, including the tying basket late in regulation and six points in overtime, as Cleveland snapped a 10-game losing streak by beating New York.
Clippers 100, Bulls 99: In Chicago, Los Angeles stopped Chicago's seven-game winning streak in a thrilling finish.
Nuggets 115, Timberwolves 113: In Denver, the hosts overcame Kevin Love's career-high 43-point performance in a narrow victory over Minnesota.
Trail Blazers 96, Warriors 95: In Portland, LaMarcus Aldridge had 17 points and 12 rebounds as short-handed Portland held off Golden State.
