The San Antonio Spurs got an unexpected push in their final home game of the season on Tuesday but still found a way to win, just as they have in all but one game this season.

Kawhi Leonard had 26 points as the Spurs rallied to beat Oklahoma City Thunder 102-98 in overtime and finish 40-1 at home this season, matching the NBA record set by the Boston Celtics in 1985-86.

San Antonio suffered their only home loss of the season to the Golden State Warriors on Sunday while the Thunder, who were without stars Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibaka, were the first team to force overtime in San Antonio this season with four players finishing with 17 points apiece.

Facing a historic game to end the regular season, the Memphis Grizzlies struggled against the Los Angeles Clippers, losing 110-84.

Paul George and George Hill each scored 19 points as the Indiana Pacers beat the New York Knicks 102-90 to win their final home game of the regular season.

Trailing 62-64, the Pacers finished the final seven minutes of the third quarter with a 17-6 run that gave Indiana a 79-70 lead heading into the final period.

The Pacers are now locked into a play-off matchup with the second-seeded Toronto Raptors.

Rookie Norman Powell had 18 points while Jonas Valanciunas had 17 and 11 rebounds as the Raptors easily beat the Philadelphia 76ers 122-98.

Dwyane Wade finished with 14 points to help the Miami Heat beat the Detroit Pistons 99-33.

Miami will win the Southeast Division and earn home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs if they close the regular season on Wednesday night by beating Boston on the road.

The Celtics will have something at stake, trying to avoid slipping to sixth that would set up a series with Miami.
