Rudy Gay made a buzzer-beating 3-pointer over Tim Duncan to lift the Memphis Grizzlies to an 88-85 victory over the San Antonio Spurs Wednesday night at FedExForum.

After trailing by as many as 23, the Spurs staged a fourth-quarter comeback to tie the game in the waning seconds on a dunk by Manu Ginobili, setting up Gay's last-second heroics.

Gay finished with 23, none bigger than the final game-winner. Mike Miller led the Grizzlies with 31 points.
