Bonzi Wells, who had 19 points, scored nine straight Memphis points to finish off the Clippers.

The victory, Memphis' seventh straight, moved the Grizzlies a half-game ahead of the Dallas Mavericks for the Western Conference's fifth playoff spot. The Grizzlies swept Los Angeles, the first time they've swept a Western Conference foe in franchise history.

But Rasho Nesterovic made a short jumper to start a 12-3 run by San Antonio. A layup by Ginobili with 5:48 left in the game gave the Spurs a 86-65 lead.
