Tim Duncan delivered a victory in overtime for the second straight game. (Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)The Spurs defeated the Grizzlies 104-93 in overtime to take Game 3 of the Western Conference finals on Saturday. San Antonio now holds a 3-0 series lead.
•  Still old, still dominant. Here are the ages of the ten players who took the court at the start of overtime once the Spurs and Grizzlies finished regulation with 86 points apiece: 21, 25, 28, 28, 31, 31, 31, 33, 35 and 37. The last two numbers in that sequence, of course, belong to the ageless Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan, who helped San Antonio overcome a dreadful start and outlast a Memphis team that was in make-or-break mode. The second-oldest on the list, Ginobili, scored the Spurs’ final four points in regulation, craftily beating a great defense to create points out of thin air

Jerryd Bayless / Tony Parker, Spurs penetration is puzzle Grizzlies can’t solve
Mike Conley tried. Tony Allen had some success, particularly late in the game, but even he was not consistent. Jerryd Bayless and everyone else that tried pretty much got torched. For the third game in a row, Tony Parker’s quickness off the dribble was the thing Memphis really had no answer for, and his penetration…Read more Jerryd Bayless news

Doug Fister / PJ Walters Remains Unstoppable Tiger-Killer, Tigers Fall to Twins 3-2
Doug Fister looks perplexed.Doug Fister settled down after a rough first inning, posting a respectable line: 7 IP, 8 hits, 3 runs, 1 BB, and 7 Ks. Fister uncharacteristically gave up four hits on two-strike counts. What’s even odder is it’s not like he wasn’t striking guys out; he K’d seven in his seven innings of work. Jim Price seemed to suggest during the broadcast that Fister might have been tipping one of his pitches.
The real story was the Tigers’ inability, yet again, to really do any damage against the unheralded PJ Walters. As Dan Dickerson pointed out, several times, Walters has had no success in the Majors against any team except against the Tigers.
