The Memphis Grizzlies have benefited from some thrilling winning shots this season, including an improbable half-court heave and a buzzer-beating alley-oop slam.

Forward Jeff Green completed that dunk, playing hero for the Grizzlies, but on Monday night Green was on the opposite end of things, quite literally contributing to the Grizzlies' 112-106 overtime loss.

On the final possession of regulation, guard Damian Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers attempted a winning 3-pointer with 3.6 seconds left.

He missed, and Blazers forward Allen Crabbe attempted a putback that rimmed out. As two Blazers and Green fought for the rebound, Green tipped the ball in at the buzzer.

Referees reviewed the play and confirmed that it left Green's hands before the buzzer, sending the game into overtime.That type of scoring does happen occasionally as players go up for rebounds near their own basket, but it almost never happens with a game on the line. In overtime, the Blazers outscored the Grizzlies 10-4.
