How It Happened:
Mike Conley powered the Grizzlies offense through three quarters of action but it was Vince Carter’s clutch buckets down the stretch that lifted Memphis to a win over the shorthanded Knicks on Friday night. New York outscored the Grizzlies 25-17 in the third quarter and took a two-point lead into the final period. After Memphis snatched back the advantage by five points, Carter buried back-to-back triples to extend the lead to 11 points. A Marc Gasol turnaround jumper in the paint completed a 16-4 run over a four-minute span that effectively put the game out of reach for the visiting Knicks.
