"Free throws are such a mental game and it's just you and the basket," Gallinari said immediately after the final buzzer.

"I have a great relationship with the basket on the free-throw line and we just kept the relationship going."

Gasol had 27 points and 13 rebounds while Mike Conley scored 19 points with 11 assists for the Grizzlies, who had just moved atop the Western Conference after a victory at San Antonio on Tuesday.
