    NBA playoff roundup

    Grizzlies 104, Spurs 86

    Mike Conley had 15 points and seven assists to help the eighth-seeded Memphis rout San Antonio on Monday night and grab a commanding 3-1 lead in its opening series.

    The Grizzlies already had made franchise history by winning their first playoff game in Game 1 and added their first playoff win at home. Now they are a game away from becoming the second eighth seed to knock off a No. 1 seed since the NBA expanded to a best-of-seven series and join the 2007 Golden State Warriors.

    Game 5 is Wednesday in San Antonio.

    Darrell Arthur added 14 points off the bench for Memphis. Tony Allen had 12, Zach Randolph and O.J. Mayo 11 apiece.

    Tony Parker led the Spurs with 23 points.

    Mavericks 93, Trail Blazers 82

    Dirk Nowitzki scored 11 of his 25 points in the third quarter and the Dallas Mavericks avoided another late collapse to beat the Trail Blazers, taking a 3-2 lead in their first-round series.

    Tyson Chandler had 14 points and 20 rebounds - his most ever in a playoff game - and Jason Kidd had 14 assists to make sure Dallas bounced back strong from blowing a 23-point lead over the final 14 minutes of Game 4.
