With 3.5 seconds remaining, Gasol tapped Courtney Lee’s missed free throw toward midcourt. Gordon sustained the injury during the third quarter of last night’s 114-99 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, it was Jrue Holiday who gave the Grizzlies the most fits, scoring 23 points off the bench and just missing a double-double with nine assists. “It looked like it was a bad bounce, and, from there, it’s tough”. Center Marc Gasol also had a double-double with 16 points, 10 rebounds and six assists, two steals and a block. “We got off to such a bad start because of injuries and things like that”. The Pelicans closed the third quarter on a 7-1 run to take an 82-75 lead into the final period. This one counts the same as New Orleans’ 12-point victory against the Sacramento Kings and its two-point triumph over the Charlotte Hornets.

“I don’t know”, Holiday said not long after Tuesday’s buzzer on if his reserve role will change.
In six games prior to Tuesday, Cunningham had not scored more than eight points.
“Obviously, it sucks”, point guard Jrue Holiday said. Despite their valiant efforts, they have fallen to 5-18 on the road “It’s tough winning games on the road in the National Basketball Association but I thought we allowed ourselves an opportunity and that’s all you want to try to do and if you get that opportunity, you’ve got to try to capitalize on it”, Gentry said.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Kemba Walker scored a franchise-record 52 points and the Charlotte Hornets won in double overtime, beating the Utah Jazz. Memphis shot 46.7 percent from the field and 42.1 percent from three (8-for-19). He was 14 of 15 on free throws. Cunningham finished with 11 points on 6 shots, one of his better offensive outings. Cody Zeller had 14 points.
Gordon scored 11 points, including two three-pointers, before leaving late in the third quarter. Trey Burke added 25 and Rudy Gobert had 14 points and 14 rebounds. There are nights and moments where he doesn’t bring much outside of energy, but if he can harness the three and hit 34 percent of them, that’s a perfectly cromulent 9th man. But Davis wasn’t about to absolve his team for the way it started the game.

Danilo Gallinari scored 27 points but only seven after halftime for the Nuggets. Gordon is averaging 15 points per game but is posting a PER of just 13.3, and even at his best he is still a shadow of the talent he was when the then-Hornets dealt Chris Paul to the Clippers to obtain his services.
