Rockets run comes to a Grizzly finish

HOUSTON - In a game that he dominated offensively, Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol said it was the team's defense that helped the most in Monday's wild come-from-behind triumph over the Houston Rockets.

Gasol scored 26 points to pace the Grizzlies to a 98-90 win in Houston. Memphis has won its first three games for the first time since the 2014-15 season when the team won its opening six contests.

The Grizzlies allowed just two points over the final six minutes and ended the game on a 20-2 run as the Rockets slipped to their first loss of the season after opening with three straight wins.
