The Griz jumped on the Knicks from the tip, scoring the game’s first 10 points before fans could settle in their seats.
The New York Knicks receive the visit of a streaking Memphis team that aims for the fifth consecutive win. While Lopez has done a tremendous job for the Knicks, especially with his evolving offensive game, the team might consider Robin to be expendable since Kristaps Porzingis will eventually make the shift from power forward to center once he gains some more weight.
Parsons got untracked by hitting 10 of 15 from the floor and 5 of 8 from 3-point range after scoring a combined 18 points in his previous two games. Though he isn’t as dominating as he once was, Carmelo Anthony is still one of the better small forwards in the National Basketball Association.
Anthony is averaging 21.1 points and 7.8 rebounds to go with 15 double-doubles. Both of their departures would open up much-valued cap space for 2016, when Jackson has visions of making his next big splash by possibly inking Memphis point guard Mike Conley. It was Barea’s 3-pointer that made it 91-87.
Barnes said he heard it from the Knicks crowd about the October incident in which he fought with Fisher at the home of Barnes’ estranged wife, who reportedly was in a relationship with Fisher. “It’s just unfortunate that it didn’t go down”. Green scored four straight in the burst.
The Mavericks rose up with an impressive show of determination and resiliency to dig out a 114-110 overtime victory against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Afflalo then fouled Green, and he made his two free throws. “I have to give them credit”. They were running hard. “For us to get defensive rebounds at the end of the game says a lot about our team”. The Grizzlies lead their series with the Knicks 20-19, including wins in the last six meetings.
Memphis went on a run of seven straight points, including a pair of inside baskets by Randolph to cut the advantage to 100-99 with 1:17 remaining before the game eventually went to overtime.
Memphis has won the last four games with strong contributions from role players.
“So we were minus 16 and that’s tough to overcome against a team like Memphis”.
Southwest Division foes will lock horns when the Memphis Grizzlies (26-20) face the Dallas Mavericks (26-21) at the FedExForum.

Memphis had used a 10-2 run in the closing 3:11 of regulation to send the game into the extra period. Guard Deron Williams had a double-double for Dallas with 22 points and 11 assists, and forward Dirk Nowitzki scored 18 points with seven rebounds.
