Grizzlies 88, Warriors 81 (OT): Zach Randolph collected 21 points and 12 rebounds as visiting Memphis continued its dominance over Golden State.
Mike Conley added 19 points and Marc Gasol had 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Grizzlies, who have taken 11 straight from the Warriors. Memphis shot just 38.6 percent from the field but scored 16 points off turnovers to help make up the difference.
Klay Thompson scored 21 points and David Lee contributed 18 as Golden State dropped to 5-1 at home and had a four-game winning streak come to an end. Andrew Bogut recorded 12 points and 14 rebounds and Andre Iguodala handed out 14 assists but struggled to seven points on 3-of-14 shooting with Stephen Curry (mild concussion) getting the night off.
Thompson tied it at 79 in overtime with a floater from behind the backboard on the left side but Conley responded with a 3-pointer and Tayshaun Prince got off a jumper with 0.1 second on the shot clock to make it an 86-81 lead with 24 seconds left. Gasol added a pair of free throws to cap the win.
The Warriors led by as many as 12 points in the first quarter as Harrison Barnes did his best Curry impression with a pair of 3-pointers. The Grizzlies turned up the defense in the second quarter and played Golden State even, going into the break with a 44-34 deficit.
Memphis came out of the locker room on fire and ripped off a 17-2 spurt behind six points from Conley to grab a 51-48 lead with 5:31 left in the third quarter. The Grizzlies took a 59-57 lead into the fourth and pushed it to 66-59 on Mike Miller’s 3-pointer with 10:33 left.
The Warriors held Memphis scoreless over the next four minutes while they ripped off a 9-0 burst, taking the lead back on Thompson’s 3-pointer with 7:20 to play. It went back-and-forth for the remainder of regulation, and both teams missed two chances to take the lead in the final 46 seconds.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Warriors C Ognjen Kuzmic fractured the pinkie finger on his right hand in the first quarter and is out indefinitely. … Curry is day-to-day and could return when Golden State visits the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday. … Grizzlies G Tony Allen sat out the game after being suspended for accidentally kicking Clippers G Chris Paul in the face on Monday.
