Grizzlies Manage to Erase Late Deficit for OT Win

MEMPHIS, Tenn.(AP) Rudy Gay scored 19 points, including seven in overtime, to lead the Memphis Grizzlies to a 105-97 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night.

Gay also had a block of Ricky Davis' jumper with just over a minute left to help Memphis snap a four-game losing streak. The Grizzlies pulled away by outscoring the Timberwolves 13-5 in overtime, and Gay kick-started the run with the first five points.

The Timberwolves lost for the fifth time in six games.

Six Memphis players finished in double figures. Mike Miller scored 17, while Chucky Atkins added 15 points and six assists. Leading scorer Pau Gasol was held to 10 points on 2-of-13 shooting, but grabbed 17 rebounds, matching his season high.

Mark Blount led Minnesota with 25 points, while Kevin Garnett scored 20 points and had 17 rebounds. Davis scored 16 points and Trenton Hassell chipped in 10.

The teams were tied at 92 after Miller scored on a drive with 32 seconds left, and remained deadlocked through regulation, despite Memphis having three shots at the basket in the closing seconds.
