THE Memphis Grizzlies edged the San Antonio Spurs 101-98 at home in overtime on Friday to reduce the gap between the NBA Southwest Division's top teams to 1-1/2 games and record their first win over their rivals since the 2011 playoffs.
Memphis' Rudy Gay hit a pull-up jumper from 14 feet with 27.8 seconds left, and finished with 23 points for the Grizzlies while Mike Conley had 21 points and five assists.
Tony Parker, who finished with 30 points for the Spurs, forced overtime, beating the buzzer with a 27-footer but San Antonio went only 1 of 10 from the floor in overtime, and Manu Ginobili missed a potential tying 3-pointer.
Oklahoma City Thunder heaped misery on Los Angeles with a 116-101 win on Friday, sending the struggling Lakers to their sixth straight loss.
Kevin Durant scored 42 points while Russell Westbrook had 27 points and 10 assists for the Thunder, who romped to a 27-point lead in the second half.
"He's a special player," Thunder player Kevin Martin said about Durant. "He's the heart of our team and we just like to follow his lead."
Oklahoma City (28-8) matched the Clippers for the NBA's best record with a virtuoso game from Durant, who had 38 points midway through the third quarter.
Kobe Bryant scored 28 for the Lakers, but without Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol, they slumped to their first six-game skid since March 2007.
The Chicago Bulls' 108-101 win over New York represented not only their third win in the series this season but also handed the Knicks their first three-game losing streak.
Luol Deng scored a season-high 33 points, shooting 13 of 18 from the field, while Carlos Boozer added 17 points for the Bulls, whose offense won't be at full strength until Derrick Rose is back from knee surgery, yet they still shot 57 percent.
In other games, it was: Warriors 103, Trail Blazers 97; Hawks 103, Jazz 95; Celtics 103, Rockets 91; Nets 99, Suns 79; Nuggets 98, Cavaliers 91; and Pistons 103, Bucks 87.
Also, the New Orleans Hornets notched a fourth straight, beating the Minnesota Timberwolves 104-92, while the Toronto Raptors beat the Charlotte Bobcats 99-78.
