With Memphis trailing by one, Gasol hit a driving layup and was fouled. His free throw put Memphis ahead 100-98.

Danilo Gallinari, who led Denver with 17 points, missed a 3-pointer with 3.9 seconds left and Conley followed with two free throws.

Silver kept a low profile, stopping to take a picture with a fan near the tunnel to the Denver locker room in the second quarter.
