Marc Gasol hit one of the biggest shots of his career, taking a drifting fallaway jumper against LaMarcus Aldridge with 0.7 seconds left on the clock to secure a 110-108 overtime win against the San Antonio Spurs, securing a 2-2 tie in the best-of-seven series.
The big Spaniard had only 16 points in the game, but none more precious than this one — grinding through a closely contested game, defending the Memphis Grizzlies home court advantage and honoring the name — the Grindhouse.

Memphis overcame a 43-point night from Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard by countering with 35 points from Mike Conley, 16 from Gasol, and 13 from seemingly-immortal veteran Vince Carter, who connected in 3-of-5 shots from beyond the arc.
As the series shifts back to San Antonio for Game 5, the Grizzlies hold all the momentum, having won both games after coach David Fizdale‘s infamous rant.
Take THAT for data.
