The Memphis Grizzlies scored its first victory in dramatic fashion on Sunday, beating the Brooklyn Nets by a hair in overtime, 134-133, after a buzzer-beating three-pointer by Jae Crowder.
Down by two with just 3.7 ticks left in the extra period, Grizzlies rookie Ja Morant raced down the court and was met by two defenders at the top of the key. He completed a dribble hand-off to a trailing Crowder who quickly launched the booming triple.
The ball found the bottom of the net with no seconds to spare, as Crowder was quickly mobbed by his teammates.

Memphis moves to 1-2 after losing its first two games against the Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls.
The Nets, meanwhile, won in almost the same fashion in their previous game versus the New York Knicks, when Kyrie Irving drilled the game-winning three-pointer.
