Memphis (33-27) at Seattle (23-37) 10:00 pm EST
SEATTLE (Ticker) - The Memphis Grizzlies finally are beginning
to enjoy their visits to the "Emerald City."
The Grizzlies try to win their third road game against the
Seattle SuperSonics in 20 tries Wednesday when the teams meet
for the third time this season.
After limiting Seattle to just 69 points in their first meeting
at home November 8, the Grizzlies shot 55 percent (36-of-65)
from the floor in a 100-96 triumph here December 31. Pau Gasol
scored 22 points to lead six Grizzlies in double figures.
The league's second-best defensive squad (88.9), Memphis has won
three of its last four overall and is in sixth place in the
Western Conference, 1 1/2 games behind the Los Angeles Clippers
and 1 1/2 in front of New Orleans.
Bobby Jackson scored 22 points and Mike Miller added 15 for the
Grizzlies, who had their three-game winning streak ended with
Monday's 115-101 loss to the Denver Nuggets.
Playing the fourth contest of a five-game homestand, Seattle has
lost seven of 10 and is last in the league in points allowed
(106.2), more than three points worse than Toronto.
Rashard Lewis scored 22 points and Ray Allen added 20 for the
SuperSonics, who shot 57 percent (47-of-82) in Monday's 113-81
victory over the Utah Jazz.
Allen needs 59 points to reach 15,000 in his career and has
combined with Lewis to score at least 20 points apiece in each
of their last four contests.
