Bucks 93, Grizzlies 92: Brandon Knight converted a three-point play with 1.1 seconds remaining as Milwaukee handed visiting Memphis its first loss of the season.
Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 12 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter and Knight finished with 14 points for the Bucks, who snapped a seven-game losing streak against the Grizzlies. Jabari Parker contributed 13 points and Ersan Ilyasova had 11 and nine rebounds.
Zach Randolph led Memphis with 22 points and 14 rebounds while Marc Gasol chipped in 18 points. Point guard Mike Conley was limited to a season-low seven points on 2-of-8 shooting and missed a key free throw in the waning moments as the Grizzlies' loss left Golden State as the only unbeaten team in the NBA.
Randolph had three straight go-ahead baskets down the stretch, the last on a layup with 1:29 left to make it 91-90. Conley made the second of two free throws with 8.2 seconds to go before Knight drove for the game-tying hoop while being fouled by Courtney Lee, whose 3-pointer at the buzzer was off.
There were three lead changes and six ties in the first half, which Randolph ended with a heave from midcourt at the horn to give Memphis a 51-44 advantage. Jared Dudley beat the buzzer with a basket to end the third quarter and pull Milwaukee within 72-66 and O.J. Mayo's 3-pointer highlighted a 7-0 burst to begin the fourth as the Bucks seized a 73-72 advantage.
GAME NOTEBOOK: The first-half buzzer-beater was Randolph's first 3-pointer of the season and just his seventh over the last four seasons. ... Mayo had nine points and a game-high seven assists off the bench. ... Randolph was 7-of-14 from the field but his teammates went 22-for-68.
