(SportsNetwork.com) - The Memphis Grizzlies just knocked off the NBAs best and will turn their attention to the defending world champions Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs at the AT&T Center. The Grizzlies ended a 16-game winning streak by the Golden State Warriors with Tuesdays 105-98 victory at FedExForum to improve to 20-4. Marc Gasol had 24 points and seven rebounds, while Zach Randolph and Mike Conley scored 17 points apiece for the Grizzlies. Vince Carter provided 16 points in a winning cause. Our defense held firm, it was great to see Vince Carter get going, Grizzlies coach Dave Joerger said. Memphis has won five in a row and is 8-3 on the road this season. San Antonio has alternated wins and losses over the last six games and dropped a 108-95 decision at Portland on Monday. Kawhi Leonard had 21 points and nine rebounds, while Aron Baynes and Kyle Anderson each scored 15 points for the Spurs. San Antonio rested Tim Duncan for the game and Manu Ginobili (lower back contusion), Tony Parker (strained left hamstring) and Tiago Splitter (calf) all sat out with injuries. We competed, but turnovers killed us, Spurs guard Cory Joseph said. We just didnt execute as well as we shouldve. Leonard (hand) and Tony Parker (hamstring) are expected to miss Wednesday nights game, while Ginobili and Tiago Splitter are questionable. Ginobili is dealing with a lower back issue and Splitter has a sore calf. The Spurs handed the Grizzlies a 107-101 setback on Dec. 5 and were led by Ginobilis 17 points. Danny Green scored 16 points and both Duncan and Parker had 14. Gasol posted 28 points and 12 rebounds for Memphis.

And thats quite a turnaround from how things seemed less than a week ago. LeBron James fought through a sore back to score 32 points, Chris Bosh added 18 and the Heat used another strong defensive effort to beat the Toronto Raptors 93-83 on Monday night. The win pushed the two-time defending NBA champions percentage points ahead of the struggling Indiana Pacers in the race for the No. 1 seed in the East. "It doesnt feel like anything," James said. "The standings are what they are. We want to play the best we can and the fact that we are in first place, I think thats pretty cool but weve got so much work to do. Weve got too much work to do. Weve got guys that need to get healthy. We havent even talked about it. We probably wont talk about it. Weve got to play the season out." Chris Andersen scored 13 points on 5-for-5 shooting and Mario Chalmers added 12 for Miami (51-22), which was again without Dwyane Wade (hamstring), Greg Oden (back) and Ray Allen (flu). Indiana (52-23) lost at home earlier Monday night to San Antonio, 103-77. "The No. 1 seed is the last thing on our minds right now," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said after his teams loss. The Heat -- who were three games out in the East after losing at Indiana on Wednesday -- are basically saying the same thing. Sure, its a neat perk -- Heat coach Erik Spoelstra called it an "ancillary" effect of hard work -- and Bosh acknowledged the outcomes Monday merited a very subtle fist-pump from him. But theres still plenty of time for things to change, and Miami is thinking more about getting those who are hurt and sick back into rhythm with the playoffs coming up in less than three weeks. "Were aware of it," Spoelstra said of the standings. "Its not that were naive to it. I didnt talk about it. ... These were pros that were getting ready for battle and its thhat type of focus, thats the type of thing were trying to stress right now, the process of building those habits.dddddddddddd. The results will follow. They tend to take care of themselves." Greivis Vasquez scored 17 points, DeMar DeRozan scored 16 and Jonas Valanciunas finished with 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Raptors. Steve Novak added 13 for Toronto, which lost Kyle Lowry to a sore left knee late in the third quarter after he collided with James. "It was a hard-fought game -- basketball at a high level," Vasquez said. "We lost it in the third period. We came out too relaxed. We didnt attack the basket. Everything worked for them." Lowrys knee swelled, Raptors coach Dwane Casey said, and that hardly sounds like good news for a team fighting for the No. 3 spot in the East. "He bumped knees," Casey said. "It puffed up a little bit. X-rays were negative. We just have to wait and see how he is tomorrow." The Heat were down 10 midway through the second quarter, and then closed the half on a 22-9 run to take the lead and never trailed again. Bosh had consecutive baskets in the fourth quarter, the last of them an easy breakaway, to put Miami up by nine. A possession later, after a 3-pointer from Vasquez, James split a pair of defenders on the dribble and found Toney Douglas for a right-wing 3. And after a stop on the ensuing Miami trip, James got a wild layup to fall while getting fouled. Moments later, the Heat could look at the standings and finally see themselves on top. "We could still lose it," Bosh said. "That reality is there. We just have to keep concentrating on what weve been doing." NOTES: Miami has now won 15 straight against the Raptors, the last 14 of those meetings coming since Bosh left Toronto and joined the Heat during the summer of 2010. ... Monday was the start of a five-game homestand for the Heat, who face Milwaukee, Minnesota, New York and Brooklyn. ' ' '
