After finding themselves in a 0-2 series hole, the Memphis Grizzlies defeated the San Antonio Spurs in Game 3 of their Western Conference quarterfinal showdown on Thursday night by the score of 105-94.
Despite being “over the hill” at 40 years old, NBA legend Vince Carter has been playing big minutes for the Grizzlies, who are shorthanded at the wing with both Tony Allen and Chandler Parsons nursing injuries.

In the third quarter, Carter turned back the clock and threw down what can only be described as an absolutely phenomenal slam dunk on the Spurs.
