MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Tim Duncan scored the first five points of overtime, and the San Antonio Spurs rallied from an 18-point deficit to beat the Memphis Grizzlies 104-93 Saturday night and move a win away from the NBA Finals. The Spurs grabbed a 3-0 lead in the Western Conference finals and now have won five straight this postseason. With the memory of blowing a 2-0 lead a year ago in the West finals to Oklahoma City, when they lost the next four, the Spurs shook off their sloppy play early and pushed the young Grizzlies to the edge of elimination in the first West final played in Memphis. San Antonio, which didn't lead this game until the opening minute of the fourth quarter, can wrap up the series Monday in Memphis.

HOOVER, Ala. — Tony Kemp, Conrad Gregor and Zander Wiel each drove in three runs to power Vanderbilt to a 16-8 victory over Mississippi State Saturday in the Southeastern Conference tournament semifinals.

JACKSON— An Alabama man has been found guilty in the 2010 murder of an 81-year-old woman from Clinton, Miss. Forty-one-year-old James Cobb Hutto was convicted of capital murder by a jury that deliberated Saturday for around two hours. He could face the death penalty Ethel Simpson's body was found Sept. 17, 2010, near Edwards, Miss. She had died of blunt force trauma. Hutto, of Jasper, Ala., was arrested in Alabama allegedly while driving her car. Hutto faces a murder charge in Birmingham for the September 2010 death of his 68-year-old great-aunt. Investigators believe Hutto befriended Simpson on the walking track at the Baptist Healthplex in Clinton. He is believed to have lured her away to casinos in Vicksburg before killing her. Her family, including a brother she lived with in Clinton, reported her missing to Clinton police. Simpson and Hutto were last seen entering the Riverwalk Casino in Vicksburg at 8:36 p.m. that Sept. 13, then leaving the casino at 11:40 p.m. After the case received extensive publicity in the Jackson area, a jury for Hutto's trial was selected in Oxford and transported to Hinds County.
