MEMPHIS, Tenn. Cameron Wake Dolphins Jersey . - For a night, the Houston Rockets new defensive mindset was blown up completely, leading to a blowout by the Memphis Grizzlies.The Grizzlies dominated a showdown between the teams with the NBAs best records, running away from the Rockets in a 119-93 victory on Monday night.They just beat the hell out of us, Rockets coach Kevin McHale said.While the Rockets struggled, Memphis put together its best all-around performance of the season.This team could easily come in and beat us by 30, and we came in and stayed focused, said point guard Mike Conley, who led the Grizzlies with 19 points and six assists. I thought it was a good statement to the rest of the league that were one of the teams to be reckoned with.Whatever showdown was expected from the two 9-1 teams and among the best defensive squads in the league never materialized as Memphis took a 16-point lead in the first quarter and extended it in each of the remaining periods, until it reached 36 points in the fourth.Memphis coach Dave Joerger said it was nice to come out and throw the first punch.We played with force and quick attacks in the paint, he said.Seven players finished in double figures for Memphis, which won its fourth straight overall. Courtney Lee finished with 15 points, while Zach Randolph added 14. Quincy Pondexter, Beno Udrih and Jon Leuer had 13 points each.Trevor Ariza led the Rockets with 16 points, while Dwight Howard had 15 points and nine rebounds. Patrick Beverly managed 10 points. James Harden had six points, going 1 of 8 from the field.The Rockets, who entered the game allowing a league-low 89 points a game, had given up that many by the end of the third quarter.Houston, which was coming off a 69-65 win Sunday night at Oklahoma City, was a step off all night. Through three quarters, Harden, having to deal with Tony Allen, was misfiring and appeared frustrated. Turnovers plagued the Rockets from the start and the shooting hovered around 40 per cent as Memphis took the lead to as many as 31 in the third quarter.McHale considered it pointless after three with Memphis leading 97-66 and sat his key players for the fourth.When we made mistakes, they capitalized on them, Ariza said. Take no credit away from them. They just straight beat us. Thats the truth.______TIP-INS:Rockets: The Rockets have two former University of Memphis post players - rookie Tarik Black and Joey Dorsey. Black, who left Memphis for one year at Kansas, was booed when he entered in the first quarter. Dorsey received a nice ovation when he came in ...The loss was the Rockets first on the road this season after winning their first six.Grizzlies: Memphis 10-1 record marked its franchise-best start to a season. Memphis also extended its regular season home winning streak to 20 straight — the last loss coming in February to Dallas.. .The 26-point winning margin was the largest of the season for Memphis. The previous best was 12 over New Orleans on Nov. 3.CONLEY BANGED UP - Conley left the game in the third with a sore left shoulder, and didnt return, although the Grizzlies lead at time also contributed to the end of his night. I got a hit underneath the rim laying it up in the third quarter. Its just a little sore. It should be all right, Conley said as he headed to the training room for treatment.UNAPPEALING APPEAL: The Grizzlies are confident the NBA will uphold Memphis 111-110 victory over the Sacramento Kings from last Thursday. The Kings appealed the result, saying Lee did not get the winning shot off in time. Memphis coach Dave Joerger said the replay system worked at every level, and the officiating crew made the right call.HE SAID IT: The good thing about this, it is only one loss. Now we will take it out on the Lakers, but we wont forget this one. - Rockets guard Jason Terry.UP NEXT:Rockets: Host Lakers on Wednesday night.Grizzlies: Visit Toronto on Wednesday night.

Therrien would not confirm his lineup for the game, but he did have the same line combinations practicing together for the third straight day which is usually a pretty good indication of what the lineup will be. COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The talk in the San Jose locker room was about the save at the end of regulation that got them one point. Backup goalie Alex Stalock followed that by improving to 3-0 in shootouts in his career and not allowing a goal in 10 attempts to help get the other point. On the offensive side, Patrick Marleau scored twice and Joe Pavelski had the lone shootout goal in the Sharks 4-3 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday night. "Huge save with 3 or 4 seconds left," San Jose coach Todd McLellan said. "I thought he was very solid." Stalock finished with 35 saves -- including 15 in the second period -- and the one getting all the raves was a spectacular post-to-post stop on Jack Johnson late and Columbus on the power play. "It was a puck you have to play and get over to," Stalock said. "My job was to recover and get over there." After tying his career high of 66 points with an assist on Marleaus second goal, Pavelski deked Sergei Bobrovsky and roofed a backhander in the shootout to give San Jose its fourth straight win. Marleau scored his 27th and 28th goals and Matt Nieto also scored for the Sharks, who are 8-1-1 in their last 10 to move into a tie with Anaheim for the Pacific Division lead. Logan Couture had two assists. "It feels good to be right up there," Marleau said. "Its not going to be easy the rest of the season." Ryan Johansen, R. J. Umberger and James Wisniewski scored for the Blue Jackets, who wanted more but will gladly take the point in the congested race for an Eastern Conference playoff spot. Brandon Dubinsky added two assists for Columbus, 17-7-2 since Jan. 1. "We got a point tonight, would have loved to have gotten two," Columbus coach Todd Richards said. "But you look at the way the team played. I thought we played a hard game against a very good hockey team, a fast hockey team." After squandering a 2-1 lead early in the third period, the Blue Jackets tied it on Wisniewskis slap shot into the top left corner from the right circle with 4:58 remaining. "That team plays hard," McLellan said. "They are as competitive as there is inn the league. Custom Miami Dolphins Jerseys. . Theyre physical. They have good body position when they enter the zone, throw a lot of pucks at the net." San Jose had scored twice just under 6 minutes into the period to take the lead on a few uncharacteristic plays by Bobrovsky. Only 15 seconds in, Bobrovksy gave up a long rebound and the puck sat in the slot before Nieto easily fired it home. Later on a San Jose power play, Columbus couldnt convert on a two-on-one leading to a 4-on-2 for the San Jose. Pavelski fed Marleau, with Bobrovsky a bit too deep in his net. The man-advantage goal was the first for the Sharks in its last seven games. "Hopefully, thats the one that does it," Marleau said about improving the teams power-play production. "It was on the rush but well take it." Johansen opened the scoring at 5:28 of the first period with his 26th. Johansen snapped home a loose puck from between the circles through traffic. Marleau tied it 5 minutes later on a sequence jump-started by poor puck management by defenceman David Savard. Logan Couture got the puck and centred it from the right boards to an open Marleau at the crease for the one timer. In the second period, the Blue Jackets quickly got into penalty trouble, giving the Sharks a two-man advantage for 36 seconds. But it was the Blue Jackets who capitalized. After the first penalty expired, Umberger stepped out of the box, took a long pass in stride from Dubinsky and beat Stalock between the pads for his 18th. "I think we stuck with it," McLellan said. "The shorthanded goal with the guy coming out of the box took a little bit of zip out of us. But between periods we talked about getting to the blue paint, getting an opportunity to score on a second chance."
