Grizzlies Escape With Victory, NBA Roundup

Phoenix coach Jeff Hornacek groaned as Courtney Lee's inbound pass floated toward the rim Hornacek watched Jeff Green dunk with 0.5 seconds left, helping the Memphis Grizzlies escape with a 95-93 win over the Suns on Sunday.

The Lee-to-Green connection helped Memphis avoid squandering a 93-87 lead with 1:30 remaining, giving the Grizzlies their ninth win in their last 12 games.

The Suns' last chance to tie the game came on Eric Bledsoe's 22-footer from the right corner as the horn sounded. The two-point attempt was long, sending Phoenix to its fourth straight loss despite a late rally that pulled the Suns even.

Marc Gasol led Memphis with 22 points, and Lee scored 13 of his 18 points in the second half to match his season high. Mike Conley had 12 points and Mario Chalmers finished with 11. Green and Zach Randolph scored 10 points apiece.

Bledsoe led the Suns with 23 points and six assists and also had seven rebounds. Brandon Knight scored 17 points and Mirza Teletovic had 14. Alex Len had 12 points, while Jon Leuer finished with 10 points and 11 rebounds.
