| Spurs vs Grizzlies |
 |
MEMPHIS, Tenn.(AP) Manu Ginobili scored 12
points in his first game of the season to
help the San Antonio Spurs beat the Memphis
Grizzlies 94-81 on Monday night.
Ginobili missed San Antonio's first 12 games
after off-season ankle surgery. He entered
the game with 5:34 left in the first quarter
and promptly made his first two shots, the
first from outside the arc and the second on
a dunk. He played 11 minutes.
Rookie George Hill scored 20 points and Roger
Mason added 18 to lead the Spurs. Tim Duncan
added 14 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks
for San Antonio, which has won five of its
last six games.
O.J. Mayo scored 23 of his 26 points in the
second half to lead Memphis. Rudy Gay scored
13 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, while
Darko Milicic had 11 points and 11 rebounds.
The Grizzlies started the 7-foot Milicic at
forward in place of rookie Darrell Arthur.
That allowed Milicic to battle with Duncan
early rather than putting Gasol, also a
rookie, on the All-Star.
Duncan still was getting the ball deep in the
post, but Milicic was at least making life
difficult for the Spurs forward. He led San
Antonio with 12 points in the half, but was
5-of-13 from the field. Duncans first-half
play helped the Spurs take a 41-36 lead into
the halftime break.
In the third, the Grizzlies were able to pull
within a basket on several occasions, but the
Spurs always had an answer. When Mason hit a
3-pointer, his fifth of the night, San
Antonio had rebuilt the lead to 69-53.
That helped the Spurs take a 72-55 lead,
their biggest lead of the night at that
point, entering the fourth period.
Notes: While Ginobili returned to action,
Tony Parkers return from his ankle injury
could be less than two weeks. Spurs coach
Gregg Popovich said before the game that he
expected the point guard could return in
under two weeks. The Spurs are 6-2 in the
eight games since Parker was injured Nov. 7.
The Grizzlies are expected to announce
Tuesday that they are sending Hamed Haddadi,
the 7-foot-2 center from Iran, to the NBDLs
Dakota Wizards to get playing time. Haddadi
has not played in any of the Grizzlies 14
games this season and was on the inactive
list for Monday nights game. The Grizzlies
were held to 36 points in the first half,
their lowest for a first half this season.
The previous low was 37 on opening night at
Houston.

| Allen Iverson Highlight vs Memphis Grizzlies Melo's Return |
 |
Melo, A.I. take turns drubbing Grizzlies in
Anthony's return
Allen Iverson raced downcourt and floated an
alley-oop lob that Carmelo Anthony shoved
one-handed through the hoop for an
arena-rattling jam, one that seemed to holler
to all their doubters, "Take that!"
"We just wanted to show the whole world we
could play together," Anthony said after the
duo's triumphant debut Monday night. "We know
there's a lot of doubt about that."
Anthony scored 28 points in his return from a
15-game suspension for fighting and Iverson
added 23 in the Denver Nuggets' 115-98 rout
of the Memphis Grizzlies.
The two are out to prove two superstars can
coexist.
So far, so very, very good.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., November 3, 2008 (AP) -- The
Golden State Warriors should have paid more
attention to Memphis rookie Marc Gasol.
While the Warriors were worrying about
high-profile Grizzlies Rudy Gay and O.J.
Mayo, Gasol had 27 points and 16 rebounds to
help the Grizzlies beat the Warriors 90-79 on
Monday night.
The Grizzlies remained undefeated at home,
the first time in franchise history they have
started 2-0 at home.
"He did really great. I was impressed,"
Warriors center Andris Biedrins said. "...He
really made us pay for not keeping attention
to him. We were more worried about Mayo and
Rudy Gay and didn't think about [Gasol] so
much."
Gasol went 9-for-11 from the field and the
free-throw line for Memphis, which ended a
seven-game skid in the series against Golden
State. The rookie also blocked three shots.
Before the game, Memphis coach Marc Iavaroni
said Gasol, who has only played four games in
the NBA, was still a bit confused on when he
should take on some of the offensive load.
Gasol said afterward that his game is built
around his defense.
"I always think that the defense should give
you a lot of confidence on offense," Gasol
said. "It's hard for me to just come out and
just play offense, shoot and don't play
defense. I don't get confidence like that."
Biedrins had 16 points and 22 rebounds for
Golden State. Stephen Jackson finished with
17 points and Corey Maggette scored 13
despite sitting out the second quarter with
an injury.
Biedrins has 11 straight double-doubles
dating to last season for the longest current
streak in the league. It was also his second
game with 20-plus rebounds in his career.
Memphis closed the third quarter with a 13-2
run and carried a 73-67 lead into the fourth.
Mayo's fast-break dunk capped a 7-0 surge and
extended the lead to 86-75 in the final
period. The Warriors managed only 12 points
in the fourth, and Memphis is holding
opponents to an average of 85.3 points a
game.
"We didn't do much to help ourselves," Golden
State coach Don Nelson said. "They were solid
defensively. ...They play hard, they play 48
minutes. We really weren't up to the task."
Gay scored 14 points and Mayo added 13 for
Memphis. Kelenna Azubuike scored 10 for the
Warriors, who shot 34 percent from the field.
"I think this was one of those games where we
were getting a lot of open shots," Warriors
rookie guard DeMarcus Nelson said. "They were
the same shots we've been getting, but
tonight we just didn't convert and complete a
high percentage of them."
Memphis, which led by as many as nine in the
first half, carried a 49-45 advantage into
the break. Gasol had 20 points and nine
boards at halftime.
Despite Gasol's big first half, the Warriors
stayed close and erased the Memphis lead with
nine unanswered points midway through the
third. Nelson had the final two baskets in
the run.
Memphis got out of its offense, playing
one-on-one and taking ill-advised shots late
in the shot clock. But in the fourth, Memphis
turned up the defense, the Warriors began
missing shots and the Grizzlies pulled away.
"I really think all five guys are working
together, talking, moving together as one
team and just taking a lot of pride in our
defense," Mayo said. "We've put together two
home wins, and that's pretty good for us."
Game notes
Maggette, the Warriors' second-leading
scorer, went to the locker room late in the
first quarter with a mild left hamstring
strain. He returned at the start of the
second half. ... Warriors forward Rob Kurz,
signed by the team Sunday, dressed for his
first game. The 6-foot-9 rookie out of Notre
Dame appeared in four preseason games for
Golden State, averaging 4.5 points, 3.8
rebounds and 1.8 assists. The team waived him
Oct. 27. To make room for Kurz, the Warriors
moved guard Monta Ellis to the suspended
list. ... The Warriors are the youngest team
in the league with an average age of 24 years
and 71 days on opening day and one of the few
teams in the league with more rookies (five)
than the Grizzlies (four). However, the
Grizzlies have started three of their rookies
(Gasol, Mayo and Darrell Arthur) most of the
season, while only Nelson is getting
significant playing time for the Warriors'
first-year players.
