· National Basketball AssociationDe'Aaron Fox hits 20-footer with 2.6 seconds left in the Spurs' 130-128 victory over the Grizzlies
Memphis center Jaren Jackson Jr. had tied it with 22.3 seconds left on a 3-pointer that banked in, setting the stage for Fox's final basket.
Fox's teammates mobbed him after Santi Aldama missed a desperation heave as the horn sounded.
Stephon Castle had 24 points and seven assists to help the Spurs end a four-game losing streak. Devin Vassell matched Fox with 20 points, and Jeremy Sochan added 18.
Jackson scored 42 points. Jaylen Wells had 18 for Memphis, and Zach Edey had 17 points, nine rebounds and three blocks.
Memphis was coming off a 114-113 loss to the New York Knicks on Friday night, and the Grizzlies played without their starting backcourt of Ja Morant and Desmond Bane, who sat out with various soreness on the second game of a back-to-back.
The Spurs shot 61% in the first half en route to a 77-58 lead.
Grizzlies: Memphis had lost three of four entering Saturday night, but all four games were close, coming down to a one possession difference with a minute to play.
