Grizzlies coach David Fizdale was quite candid about San Antonio Spurs guard Kawhi Leonard's electric performance in Memphis' 110-108 overtime victory in Game 4 on Saturday. "Honestly, I'm taking suggestions on how to guard Kawhi Leonard," Fizdale said during his postgame news conference. "I've tried everything, and the guy's just ..." Fizdale then paused to release a dramatic sigh. Leonard contributed 43 points for a career playoff high in a losing effort for the Spurs. He rallied the Spurs by scoring San Antonio's final 16 points of regulation but missed a 21-footer short of the rim with James Ennis III defending him just before the buzzer. Leonard also tied the game at 108 with 17 seconds left in overtime on a 3 from the left corner. "He's tough. Man, is he a superstar," Fizdale said. Leonard finished with 24 points in a thrilling fourth quarter and overtime, during which there were six lead changes and seven ties. Grizzlies forward Marc Gasol hit a 12-foot floater with 0.7 seconds left in overtime to seal the win for the Grizzlies. The series is now tied 2-2 and returns to San Antonio for Game 5 on Tuesday. Memphis guard Mike Conley said it was scary watching Leonard -- a two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year and an MVP candidate this season -- shoot away. "He's unbelievable,'' Conley said of Leonard. "It got to a point where you just knew if he got a shot off, it was going in.'' Conley, who signed a five-year, $153 million contract last summer in what was the richest deal in the NBA at that point, also had a career game, finishing with 35 points for a Grizzlies postseason record. "That was great game,'' Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "Both teams played their hearts out. Just a fantastic basketball game. The fans got their money's worth tonight for sure. At the end, Marc made a great shot. L.A. [LaMarcus Aldridge] contested it very, very well, and it went down.'' The Associated Press contributed to this report.
