Two days after losing a game in which they led virtually the entire night, the Warriors nearly pulled off the inverse on Friday night. Instead, their comeback attempt fell just short.
The Grizzlies staved off a furious Golden State rally to win, 117-112, in overtime to advance to the first round of the NBA playoffs. They were able to regain control after blowing a sizable lead in the final minutes of regulation.
Memphis led by as many as 17 points and was up by 10 with under four minutes to play before the Warriors went on a 14-4 run to end the fourth quarter.
