The biggest difference in a game that was decided by a game - winning tip - in was the play of both teams' benches, as there was a large discrepancy in a very close matchup. For the Grizzlies, Vince Carter's 20 points off the bench ended up leading the team in scoring while Zach Randolph contributed 16 points of his own. In all, Memphis' reserves managed to score 55 of the team's 108 points and played a big role in their victory. On the other side, while Denver's starters were very productive and each managed to score in double figures, their bench was a no - show on Tuesday night. Rookie Jamal Murray had a solid outing off the bench, scoring 10 points in 17 minutes, but as an entire unit, the Nuggets' reserves managed just 25 of the team's 107 points. A little more production from any of the four Denver reserves who played at least 10 minutes on Tuesday and the game likely has a much different outcome.
