LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The first team to clinch a spot in the NBA's first-ever play-in tournament is the Memphis Grizzlies.
After dropping six of their first seven games here inside the NBA's bubble at the Walt Disney World Resort to fall out of eighth place in the Western Conference, Memphis rode a massive performance from Jonas Valanciunas -- 26 points, 19 rebounds and 12 assists for his first career triple-double -- to pull away from the Milwaukee Bucks and claim a 119-106 victory.
The win gave the Grizzlies one of the two spots in the league's first-ever play-in tournament, which will kick off Saturday at 2:30 p.
