The Memphis Grizzlies evened up their first-round playoff series with the San Antonio Spurs at 2-2 after a pulsating overtime win at FedEx Forum.

In the best game of the playoffs thus far, the Grizzlies pulled off a dramatic 110-108 victory after Marc Gasol hit an amazing game-winner with 0.7 seconds remaining in overtime. 

The series was going as many expected after the Spurs took a commanding 2-0 lead but nobody expected Gregg Popovich's men to lose back-to-back games in Memphis. 

Credit must go to the Grizzlies as they lived up to their reputation by displaying grit and grind to draw level in the series. 

However, they had to overcome an outstanding individual display from Kawhi Leonard to eventually pull out the victory. 

The superstar virtually carried San Antonio on his back and almost single-handedly won the game for them. 

The Claw ended the night with a playoff career-high 43 points in the losing effort but he rallied the Spurs by scoring their final 16 points of regulation. Leonard also tied the game at 108 with 17 seconds left in overtime on a 3 from the left corner.

The All-Star small forward also tied the game at 108 with 17 seconds left in overtime on a three-pointer from the left corner.

He finished with 24 points combined in the fourth quarter and overtime in a thrilling game that featured six lead changes and seven ties in the fourth and overtime.

After the game, Grizzlies head coach David Fizdale joked that he's willing to listen to advice on how to stop Leonard if anybody has something to offer.

"Honestly, I'm taking suggestions on how to guard Kawhi Leonard," Fizdale said. "I've tried everything and the guy is just tough. Man, is he a superstar."

That's extremely high praise for the two-time Defensive Player of the Year and Memphis point guard Mike Conley added to it by complimenting his shooting ability. 

"He's unbelievable,'' Conley said. "It got to a point where you just knew if he got a shot off, it was going in.''

Conley's own performance shouldn't be overshadowed, however, as he also posted a career-high 35 points. He also had a near triple-double with eight assists and nine rebounds.

Coach Fiz was hugely impressed with his guard who got a five-year, $153 million contract last summer in what was the richest deal in the NBA at that point.

"I don't think we will be having a discussion about how much money he is worth," Fizdale said. "I don't want to hear about it at least. The guy's a superstar."

The series switches back to San Antonio for a crucial game five on Tuesday.
