MEMPHIS - The Memphis Grizzlies sealed a stunning upset by beating the top ranked San Antonio Spurs 99-91 to clinch their first round playoff series 4-2 at the FedEx Forum on Friday.

San Antonio scored the first points of the game but a 12-0 run by eighth-seeded Memphis forced the Spurs to chase the Grizzlies for much of the encounter.

Despite trailing by as many as 12 points, San Antonio managed to grab the lead briefly at 80-79 with 4:39 remaining in the fourth quarter on a jump shot by Antonio McDyess but were unable to contain Zach Randolph down the stretch.




Randolph scored 17 of his game-high 31 points in the fourth quarter including 13 as the Grizzlies pulled away for good. Randolph also had 11 rebounds and Marc Gasol had a double-double with 13 rebounds and 12 points.

Tony Parker led the Spurs with 23 points, and Manu Ginobili scored 16 points. - Reuters
