NBA scores 2015: The Grizzlies are who we thought they were thanks to a little help from Mario Chalmers

It's not always going to be pretty, but the Memphis Grizzlies are going to get the job done. And on Sunday against the Phoenix Suns, it was pretty. In a 93-93 game with 0.8 seconds to play, Courtney Lee found Jeff Green with a beautiful inbound pass and Green stuffed home the alley-oop to give the Grizzlies a 95-93 win.

The Grizzlies have won nine of 12 games after a disastrous start to the season and are looking like the team that gave the Golden State Warriors a scare in the playoffs last season. Marc Gasol led a balanced attack with 22 points and eight rebounds as six Grizzlies scored in double figures.

Eric Bledsoe led the Suns with 23 points, seven rebounds and six assists in a game they nearly stole from the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies had a six-point lead with 1:30 to play before letting the Suns back into. Alex Len had two buckets down low and P.J. Tucker added a layup. The Suns had the ball with 2.3 seconds left with a chance to win it, but Brandon Knight couldn't handle the inbounds pass and the Grizzlies got the ball with less than a second to play.

It was a perfect play. Mike Conley set a flare screen on Green's man, which cleared up just enough space for Green to get to the bucket. In a brilliant move, the Grizzlies pulled away the Suns frontcourt by having Zach Randolph and Gasol hang out on the perimeter. That allowed Green an unimpeded path to the basket -- plus, no one could challenge him at the rim.

Trading for Mario Chalmers has been a difference maker. He was only 3 of 7 from the field with 11 points on Sunday, but he's been a difference maker for what was a stagnant Grizzlies' offense. When he's on the court, the Grizzlies have an offensive rating of 107.9 versus 98.8 when he's off it. Chalmers may not have been the answer in Miami, but he's helping in Memphis.

Stephen Curry will not let the Warriors lose.

It seemed like the Brooklyn Nets had a chance. They had a five-point lead in the third quarter and trailed 81-80 after a Joe Johnson bucket with 37.8 seconds left. Then Stephen Curry happened. Curry had an and-one and a three in the final 37 seconds to extend the Warriors' lead to seven and the game was essentially over. Curry had 28 points, five rebounds and two assists, which is just a ho-hum night for the star, but it was when and how he scored that ruined any chance of a Brooklyn upset. It's a recurring theme for Curry -- he strikes when the Warriors need him most. Curry's performance against the Nets was carry-over from the night before, when he hit dagger after dagger against the Toronto Raptors. The Warriors are 22-0 now. They'll get the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday.

The Thunder are surviving by the skin of their teeth.

Kevin Durant did not have a great night. He was only 1 of 6 from behind the arc and had 20 points. But it was enough for the Oklahoma City Thunder, who finished the game on a 9-0 run to beat the Sacramento Kings 98-95. Durant hit the go-ahead bucket with 23 seconds left to steal a win for the Thunder, who blew a 17-point lead in the second half before making a comeback of their own. Russell Westbrook had a triple-double with 19 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists for the Thunder. But the team couldn't take care of the ball the entire night, coughing it up 21 times -- Durant had 10 of those. Even so, the Thunder picked up a win on a night they didn't play well -- not that they're always going to be able to pull it off. Sadly for the Thunder, this team looks a lot like the Scott Brooks version.

Matthews hit 10 three-point shots as the Dallas Mavericks took it to the Washington Wizards, 116-104. Matthews put up 28 of his 36 points in the second half as he hit 10 of 17 from behind the arc. Matthews was brilliant, but the Wizards' defense against him was abysmal. They continually left him alone on the three-point line, failing to get a hand up and closing out on him in what looked like slow motion. Taking 17 threes seems like a lot, but the Wizards were giving Matthews good looks. The loss was almost worse for the Wizards. John Wall left the game in the fourth quarter with a knee injury. Thankfully, it appears there was no structural damage.

Rajon Rondo can do absurd things with the basketball. Here, he soars for an offensive rebound and somehow finds Marco Bellineli with a ridiculous behind-the-back pass for a three. Hyperbole is a dangerous thing, but Rondo might be the only player in the NBA who could make that play.
