MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The Memphis Grizzlies ratcheted up their defence to avoid a back-to-back sweep by the two best teams in the Eastern Conference. And, in the meantime, Memphis kept its spot in the Western Conference playoff race. Mike Conley scored 21 points, Zach Randolph added 18 points and 13 rebounds, and the Grizzlies held the Indiana Pacers to their lowest output of the season in an 82-71 victory on Saturday night. Several Grizzlies players said it may have been their most complete game of the season. The victory came after Memphis lost 91-86 at Miami on Friday night. "It started from the defensive intensity, and it was consistent," Conley said. "On offence, we moved the ball well. We were efficient with it, but defensively, we really locked down and communicated." Mike Miller added 13 points as Memphis moved a game ahead of Phoenix for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Marc Gasol, returning after spraining his ankle Friday night, had 10 points and nine rebounds. Lance Stephenson led the Pacers with 15 points and eight rebounds, while David West added 10 points, but was 5 of 15 from the field. Paul George, the Pacers leading scorer at 22.1 points per game, was held to eight points, missing eight of his 10 shots, and Indiana shot 37 per cent for the game. "We couldnt score at all," said Pacers centre Roy Hibbert, who was in foul trouble and ended the night with four points and no rebounds. "Thats the basic thing. I think we had a lot of contested 2s. Guys were trying, and they were playing hard, but for some reason, something was a little off." Indiana, which allows a league-low 35.4 points per game in the paint, surrendered 46 to Memphis, which also outrebounded Indiana 47-35. The Pacers only lead in the game came at 3-2. Gasol, who was treated for a Grade 1 left ankle sprain sustained in Fridays loss to the Heat, was a game-time decision. He was on medication and didnt warm up before the game. "I wanted to save every step I was going to take for the game," said Gasol, adding that the medication made it where he could barely feel his hands or face. "It definitely helped the purpose, and made it worth it because we won the game." Memphis, which built a double-digit lead in the first half, maintained the advantage through the third period as the Pacers seemed to be dragging. Through three periods, Indiana was still under 37 per cent, and George had been limited to only seven shots and six points. "Its the offensive end where we didnt play well," George said. "We didnt get into a rhythm. . If you hold a team to 82 points, you are playing pretty good defence." Memphis continued to maintain the double-digit lead, keeping the Pacers down 10 to 14 points through most of the fourth. "We were a little bit too indecisive and hesitant with the basketball," Indiana coach Frank Vogel said. "We had poor shooting nights from a number of guys." As was expected with two of the best defensive teams in the league, the first half was a low scoring affair despite Memphis shooting 46 per cent. The Pacers were at 32 per cent. That helped Memphis carry a 43-30 lead into the break as Miller connected on four of his first five shots in the second period, all of them from outside the arc, for all of his 13 points in the game. "If you take away Mike Millers 3s in the first half, this is a college score in terms of the game." West said. But the Grizzlies said the performance was important after a Miami game they thought they could have won. They also mentioned that it was an important confidence-builder for the stretch run. "We were in attack mode most of the night on both offence and defence," Memphis coach Dave Joerger said. "That is as complete of a win as we have had all season."

Schalke drew 2-2 with Eintracht Frankfurt, which also had a player sent off. Also, promoted Paderborn was provisionally top of the table after defeating Hannover 2-0. Elias Kachunga broke the deadlock in the 71st, then Moritz Stoppelkamp sealed the result deep in injury time with an audacious goal from 83 metres for a Bundesliga record. "I didnt know I could even shoot that far," said Stoppelkamp, who beat Greek defender Giorgos Tzavelas previous record on March 12, 2011 for Frankfurt against Schalke, by 10 metres. Mainz defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in the late game, costing the visitors the chance to go top. Shinji Okazaki opened the scoring in the 66th when he slid in to convert Jairos cross from close range. Okazaki conceded a penalty three minutes later when Ciro Immobiles effort struck his arm, but Mainz keeper Loris Karius saved Immobiles spot kick. Matthias Ginters own goal made it 2-0 in the 74th, when he cut out Jairos cross for Dortmund loan player Jonas Hofmann, only to see the ball slip inside the left post. Dortmund substitute Henrikh Mkhitaryan struck the post in the last minute. Adrian Ramos, who missed a number of chances, struck it earlier. "We didnt start badly. We had one or two chances," said Ginter, who lamented his "stupid own goal." Hamburg coach Zinnbauer, who took over from the fired Mirko Slomka on Tuesday, earned the club its second point after its worst start to the Bundesliga in 51 years. Arjen Robben was due to start for Bayern but injured himself in the warm-up and was replaced by Thomas Mueller. The home side started well, closing down any space, and restricting Bayerns goal opportunities. With Hamburg in the ascendency after the break, Bayern coach Pep Guardiola sent on Xabi Alonso in the 53rd to assert control. The visitors then created their best chance of the game, when Jaroslav Drobny did well to save Philipp Lahms volley and David Alaba fired tthe rebound over.dddddddddddd Guardiola sent on Mario Goetze and Robert Lewandowski for a final offensive push with less than half an hour remaining but neither side could make the breakthrough. "It wasnt easy to get into the game after the Champions League match against Manchester City," said Guardiola, referring to his sides late 1-0 win on Wednesday. "It was a bit better in the second half but unfortunately we didnt take our chances. We have to keep working now. Theres a tough time ahead of us until December." It was Bayerns second draw from four games, while Hamburg has yet to score this season. "Im proud of the team for pulling through the final 15 minutes," Zinnbauer said. "So a compliment to Mirko Slomka, who kept the team top-fit." In Gelsenkirchen, Frankfurt midfielder Alexander Meier scored on the rebound from Ralf Faehrmanns save in the 15th and Marco Russ made it 2-0 when he eluded Schalke midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng and Christian Fuchs before shooting inside the far post. Eric Maxim Choupo-Motings calmly taken penalty gave Schalke a lifeline five minutes before the break. TV replays suggested it was a harsh decision, as Draxlers cross struck Slobodan Medojevics arm as the Frankfurt midfielder was falling. Draxler equalized five minutes after the restart. Boateng earned his second yellow card in the 61st, and 10 minutes later Draxlers birthday celebrations turned sour when he kicked out at Carlos Zambrano and earned his direct red card. Medojevics second yellow card -- his first was for the penalty decision -- eased the pressure on Schalke, which is still looking for its first win of the season. "The way the team came back was brilliant," said Schalke coach Jens Keller, whose side also came back to claim a draw at Chelsea in the Champions League on Wednesday. Augsburg defeated Werder Bremen 4-2 and Hoffenheim won 2-0 at Stuttgart, which is bottom of the table after four games. "Everyone in the stadium could see that the team fought, that they were better in previous games," Stuttgart coach Armin Veh said. 14:32ET 20-09-14 Cheap Buffalo Sabres Gear Wholesale Calgary Flames Jerseys Cheap Adidas Colorado Avalanche Jerseys Montreal Canadiens Outlet Store Wholesale New Jersey Devils Jerseys Adidas Arizona Coyotes Jerseys Cheap Adidas Boston Bruins Jerseys Cheap Adidas Carolina Hurricanes Jerseys Chicago Blackhawks Shop Free Shipping Wholesale Columbus Blue Jackets Jerseys Dallas Stars Shop Free Shipping Cheap Adidas Detroit Red Wings Jerseys Anaheim Ducks Jerseys China Wholesale Edmonton Oilers Jerseys Florida Panthers Shop Free Shipping Wholesale Los Angeles Kings Jerseys Minnesota Wild Outlet Store Cheap Adidas Nashville Predators Jerseys Cheap Adidas New York Islanders Jerseys New York Rangers Winter Classic Jerseys Cheap Adidas Ottawa Senators Jerseys Cheap Adidas Philadelphia Flyers Jerseys Wholesale Pittsburgh Penguins Jerseys Cheap Adidas San Jose Sharks Jerseys St. Louis Blues Winter Classic Jerseys Wholesale Tampa Bay Lightning Jerseys Toronto Maple Leafs Outlet Store Vancouver Canucks Outlet Store Cheap Adidas Vegas Golden Knights Jerseys Cheap Adidas Washington Capitals Jerseys Cheap Adidas Winnipeg Jets Jerseys ' ' '
