De’Aaron Fox broke a tie with a 20-footer with 2.6 seconds left for the last of his 20 points and the San Antonio Spurs beat the Memphis Grizzlies 130-128 on Saturday night.
De'Aaron Fox capped a back-and-forth affair with a tiebreaking 20-footer with 2.1 seconds remaining Saturday night, allowing the visiting San Antonio Spurs to complete a 130-128 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies.
