Pacers-Grizzlies Preview

Whoever can get to 90 points figures to have the best chance to win when the top defensive teams in the NBA meet. However, neither Indiana nor Memphis was able to score that many when the Pacers got the best of the Grizzlies last month.

The Pacers look to win their third straight and sweep the Grizzlies for the first time since 2006-07 on Monday, though they'll have to end a four-game losing streak at Memphis to do it.

Indiana (25-16) is allowing the fewest points in the league at 89.3 per game while Memphis (26-13) is 0.3 behind. The Pacers outlasted the Grizzlies 88-83 on Dec. 31 with neither team managing to shoot better than 40 percent from the field.

Indiana may need to be just as tough at the defensive end this time, as it's lost seven straight on the road when giving up 90 or more points. The Grizzlies have won 10 of 11 at home when limiting teams to fewer than 90.

Memphis has held its last two opponents to fewer than 80 points in regulation, winning 85-69 over Sacramento on Friday and 85-82 in overtime at Chicago on Saturday.

As good as they've been defensively, the Grizzlies may need a spark on offense if they want to extend their run. A second straight productive performance from Zach Randolph after he missed one game with a strained back could provide it.

Randolph had 13 points and 19 rebounds against the Bulls, though he went 6 for 20 from the field.

"He got all of his work done without having to dominate the ball," guard Mike Conley said. "He just did it all with dirty work."

Randolph has been outstanding in his last 13 games against the Pacers, averaging 24.5 points and 12.2 boards.

After scoring 27.3 points and shooting 53.7 percent per game in his past three versus Indiana, Rudy Gay will try to bounce back from his 11-point, 3-for-17 effort last month.

Memphis had averaged 105.8 points in its previous five against the Pacers before the Dec. 31 loss.

It may not be any easier for the Grizzlies on Monday, as Indiana has won 15 of 20 since a sluggish start.

Paul George continued his breakout season for the Pacers on Friday, scoring 31 points while going 7 for 10 from 3-point range in a 105-95 win over Houston.

"(George) has been putting in a lot of work before practice, after practice, before games, getting up a lot of shots, so we keep going to him and he's been playing real well," center Roy Hibbert said.

The Pacers have shot 20 for 41 from beyond the arc in their two consecutive wins. They went 12 of 25 on 3s despite shooting 40.0 percent overall in the first meeting with the Grizzlies.

Memphis, though, has held opponents to 5 of 24 (20.8 percent) from beyond the arc in the last two games.

The Grizzlies have won seven of nine in the series.

Pacers hold on to defeat Grizzlies 82-81

Posted Jan 21 2013 5:28PM

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) Having committed eight turnovers, Indiana guard George Hill was looking to do something positive for his team when he stepped to the free throw line with 1.4 seconds left.

Then Hill missed the first of two free throws.

"I missed the first one, and got a little nervous," Hill said of standing there between free throws with the game tied at 81.

Hill made the second, and the Pacers beat the Memphis Grizzlies 82-81 on Monday when Rudy Gay's bank shot was ruled to have come after the final buzzer.

"I think (the turnovers were) what rattled me a little bit," Hill said of the missed first shot. "I was thinking too much about the turnovers and me possibly redeeming myself to make it all look a little better."

Even after Hill made the second free throw for the lead, the Pacers had to endure a last-gasp effort by the Grizzlies.

Memphis guard Mike Conley inbounded the ball to Gay, who, with Paul George guarding him, took dribbled inside the 3-point line and fired a shot that banked in.

But officials ruled the shot came after the horn, a call confirmed on replay, and the Pacers left the floor with the victory.

"I think I kind of played him into that," George said of Gay running off too much clock with a dribble to create space before the shot. "I jammed his right hand, and that kind of took the whole time off. I didn't want him to catch and go to his strong hand and give him time to get his shot off."

Hill's clinching free throw gave him 13 points, and George finished with 12 points and 10 rebounds for the Central Division-leading Pacers. David West led Indiana scorers with 14 points. Roy Hibbert scored 10 points.

Wayne Ellington led the Grizzlies with 17 points on 7-of-9 shooting, including connecting on all three shots from outside the arc. Gay had 14 points, and Conley and Zach Randolph scored 13 apiece. Gay had eight rebounds and Randolph grabbed seven boards.

The game featured 19 lead changes and 10 ties, the final deadlock as Hill stepped to the line after Conley fouled him on a drive.

"I should have stopped him from getting into the paint," Conley said of the foul that had the Memphis faithful howling because of the last-second call. "It shouldn't have gotten to that point. They did their job, and I have to do mine."

The Pacers blocked 11 shots - five by West and four by Hibbert - a testament to their interior defense.

But Indiana had trouble taking care of the ball, committing 20 turnovers, compared to 15 for the Grizzlies.

Other statistical categories from rebounds (35-34 Grizzlies) to 14 second-chance points apiece were further indications of a close game.

"We knew it was going to be a defensive battle, and that it was going to be a tough game," Memphis guard Tony Allen said. "They made plays down the stretch. We have to pay attention to details. We have to communicate on the defensive end and execute offensively."

The teams scrapped through a tightly-played first half that featured 15 lead changes and six ties.

The Pacers were able to pull away in the final 9 minutes of the half, thanks to a 15-4 run that erased Memphis' largest lead of the half.

The rally helped Indiana carry a 43-39 lead at halftime as both teams had key players struggling with their shooting. West was 4 of 10 for Indiana, but Memphis struggled through much more inaccuracy.

The Grizzlies front line of Gay, Marc Gasol and Randolph was a combined 4 of 20, helping Memphis shoot 39 percent in the half.

The Memphis bench did provide a bit of a lift with 18 points, eight of them from Ellington, who connected on a pair of 3-pointers.

Memphis used defense to get its offense untracked in the second half. Through the first 8 minutes, Indiana had taken only six shots and had six turnovers.

That allowed Memphis to score 14 straight points to retake the lead.

For the quarter, Indiana was 8 of 12 from the field, and the Pacers used a 3-pointer from Orlando Johnson late in the third to hold a 65-63 lead entering the fourth.

The game remained tight through the early stages of the fourth until consecutive baskets by Tyler Hansbrough and a rebound basket by Hibbert broke a 70-all tie, giving the Pacers a bit of a buffer near the 7-minute mark.

Indiana maintained the lead until a 3-pointer from Conley with 2:10 left gave Memphis a 79-78 lead.

George immediately answered with a 3-pointer for the Indiana lead at 81-79.

"That was a huge answer-back three," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. ".That is competitive spirit rising up. That was a huge play."

Tony Allen's hustle was what pulled Memphis back even. He grabbed an offensive re bound with about 30 second left, then stole the ball from Hibbert after an Indiana rebound with 11.7 seconds remaining.

That set up his pass to Randolph to tie the game at 81 with 10.5 seconds left.

The Pacers, who are now 10-13 on the road and have struggled against top teams, relished the idea of starting a four-game road trip with a win over one of the top four teams in the Western Conference.

"Coming in here, knowing it was going to be a tough environment, it was important," Hill said of the win. "(The Grizzlies) play well at home, and we knew it was going to be a scrappy, playoff mentality-type game.

"We knew we had to turn things around," Hill said. "Coach challenged us to be above a .500 road team, and it started with (Monday)."

NOTES: The game was the 11th Annual Martin Luther King Day game hosted by the Grizzlies. Memphis is now 5-6 on the holiday. ... The Grizzlies honored former NBA players Elgin Baylor and Patrick Ewing, along with former NFL great Jim Brown with the Eighth Annual National Civil Rights Legacy Award, as part of the day's ceremonies.

Notebook: Pacers 82, Grizzlies 81

Marlon W. Morgan, for NBA.com
Posted Mon Jan 21, 2013 4:53 PM - Updated Mon Jan 21, 2013 4:53 PM

THE FACTS: When it comes to last second plays, the Memphis Grizzlies might want to look for a new one. It's no secret that they look to forward Rudy Gay, and the scouting report says Gay wants to go to his right. With 1.4 seconds remaining Monday afternoon, Indiana's Paul George prevented that from happening, forcing Gay to take a dribble that caused his would-be game winner to be released after the horn sounded, giving the Pacers an 82-81 win in front of a Martin Luther King, Jr. Day crowd of 17,508 at FedExForum.

QUOTABLE: "We know how hard Memphis is to beat in this building. They're one of the top five or six teams in the whole league. This is a good confidence builder for us."
-- Indiana forward David West, who led the Pacers with 14 points.

THE STAT: Indiana coach Frank Vogel was extremely pleased with his team's offense. Knowing the Pacers were facing one of the top defenses in the NBA, Vogel's squad managed to shoot 49 percent from the floor, including 66.7 percent in the third quarter. On the season, the Pacers average just 42 percent shooting.

TURNING POINT: After trailing the entire fourth quarter, the Grizzlies finally regained the lead, 79-78, when Mike Conley hit a 3-pointer with 2:10 to go. But George quickly answered, drilling a 3-pointer from the left wing to put the Pacers back on top for good.

HOT: The Grizzlies were unable to capitalize on backup shooting guard Wayne Ellington's game-high 17 point performance. Ellington made 7-of-his-9 shot attempts, including all three of the 3-pointers. Unfortunately, he couldn't get free on the out of bounds play to end the game.

NOT: After two solid back-to-back performances by Marc Gasol, the Grizzlies center returned to his struggling self. Gasol was virtually a non-factor, scoring just six points on 2-of-4 shooting to go with five rebounds, four of which came in the second half. Gasol shot the ball just once in the second half.

QUOTABLE II: "We knew it was going to be a defensive battle and it was going to be a tough game. They made plays down the stretch. We have to pay attention to details. We have to communicate on the defensive end and execute offensively. I think they did a better job of doing that today."
-- Grizzlies guard Tony Allen.

NOTABLE: Although it was a tough shooting day for George, who was 5-of-3 from the floor for 12 points, he did manage to do other things to help the Pacers. George was one assist away from triple-double with nine and 10 rebounds. His defense also forced Gay into a tough shooting game as well. Gay had 14 points on 7 of 22 shooting and missed all three of his 3-pointers. He did have eight rebounds. ... Indiana forward Tyler Hansbrough made his presence felt in the middle, coming off the bench to score nine points and grab eight rebounds in 12 minutes. ... The win gives Indiana a sweep over the Grizzlies in the season series. The Pacers were 88-83 winners in Indianapolis on New Year's Eve. The Grizzlies are now 11-4 against Eastern Conference teams, 7-3 at home.... The Grizzlies have lost three of their last five games at FedExForum, falling to 15-6 at home this season. ... The Pacers had 11 blocked shots, including a season-high five by West and four by Roy Hibbert. It is their second consecutive game with double-digit blocks. The Grizzlies had just two.

UP NEXT: For the Pacers, Wednesday at Portland, Saturday at Utah, Monday at Denver. For the Grizzlies, Wednesday vs. L.A. Lakers, Friday vs. Brooklyn, Sunday vs. New Orleans.
