Center Marc Gasol scored 24 points and power forward Zach Randolph
added 17 points and 10 rebounds as the Memphis Grizzlies ended the
Golden State Warriors' 16-game winning streak.
The match-up of the two teams with the best records in the NBA ended
with the Grizzlies improving to 20-4 overall and 12-1 at home.
Golden State (21-3) got 22 points from guard Klay Thompson and 19
points from guard Stephen Curry.
After a driving layup from Memphis point guard Mike Conley made it
95-88 with 3:05 left, both Golden State coach Steve Kerr and guard
Andre Iguodala were hit with technical fouls for arguing that Conley
had traveled.
Guard Courtney Lee made both free throws for a 97-88 lead.

Heat 95, Knicks 91
Miami guard Dwyane Wade, who was a pre-game doubt due to an
undisclosed illness, scored a game-high 28 points in a contest that
was delayed for a half hour in the first quarter due to a leaky
roof.
The Nets were led by center Mason Plumlee, who had a season-high 21
points.

Pelicans 119, Jazz 111
New Orleans forward Anthony Davis, playing with a protective jacket
to shield bruised ribs that kept him out of the previous contest,
scored a game-high 31 points to lead a comeback victory.
The Pelicans trailed by 14 points early in the fourth quarter and
had not won a game in eight previous attempts this season when
losing at the final break.
However, Davis came alive down the stretch as the Pelicans
out-scored the Jazz 41-22 in the fourth to seal the win.
