MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Trailing by one point, the Memphis Grizzlies had no timeouts and little time. For the oldest player in the NBA, the obstacles were simply a welcome challenge.Thirty-nine-year-old Vince Carter tossed a perfectly timed, and expertly lobbed, inbounds pass to 7-footer Marc Gasol and he dropped in a shot as the buzzer sounded to lift the Grizzlies to a 108-107 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night.Gasols basket came over Emmanuel Mudiay on a high-arcing pass from Carter underneath the Memphis goal. When Carter inbounded the ball there were 0.7 seconds left.I had progressions, I had a couple of options, but I just had to be patient while still keeping the 5-second violation in mind, Carter said. Its a stressful situation, but Ive been in it before. I know how to relax and take my time.Carter scored 20 points, while Gasol had 19 for the Grizzlies, who had lost two straight. Zach Randolph added 16 points.Mudiay had 23 points and Danilo Gallinari added 21 for the Nuggets.Mudiay appeared to have led the Nuggets to a victory when he stripped the ball from Mike Conley and converted a fastbreak layup with 7.9 seconds left. Memphis James Ennis followed with an errant pass out of bounds.But Conley came up with a steal in the closing seconds and drove the length of the court before the ball was knocked out of bounds by Denver with 0.7 seconds to go.That set the stage for the Carter-to-Gasol game-winner.The play was executed to perfection, Carter said. I just wanted to put it up there where only Marc could get it and let him take care of the rest.Gasol said the key to the play was the experience of CarterThe guy guarding the inbounds pass jumped too early, Gasol said. That opened up the passing angle and Vince made a great pass.Mudiay said he didnt know what the breakdown defensively was on the game-winning shot by Gasol.It just happens sometimes, Mudiay said. Some games end like that, some games dont end like that.The Grizzlies went up 83-76 early in the fourth quarter on a twisting layup by Jarell Martin and led by 95-88 following a driving layup by Andrew Harrison midway through the quarter.But the Nuggets battled back to take their first lead of the final period, 99-98, on a 3-pointer by Nikola Jokic, with 4:27 left.The lead changed hands six times in closing 5 minutes.We make it interesting, dont we? Grizzlies coach David Fizdale said. Im just really proud of my guys handling adversity. Everything that could go wrong went wrong, but they just kept staying with it. They stayed in the moment.The game was 56-all at the half. Denver shot 54 percent and outrebounded Memphis 23-17 to overcome 10 turnovers.

Henderson finished with 17 points and five rebounds while Dario Saric had 14 points and 12 rebounds.We had a lot of balance in our scoring, but we gave up a few too many points, Henderson said.

We deserved to win the game, we just came up a little short, and we move on.Saric was searching for an answer.I dont know what to say, he said. We fall a point short. We have to continue to work hard in practice, everyone give 100 percent and a win will come one day. We hope it comes in the next game at home, in front of our fans, they deserve it.TIP-INSPhiladelphia: Joel Embiid did not travel with the team to Indiana, remaining in Philadelphia for rest.Indiana: The Pacers have won 10 of the last 11 regular-season meetings with the 76ers dating to 2013-14. ...
