Memphis Grizzlies 79, ATLANTA HAWKS 76
Talk about the officials “letting them play” … the Grizzlies set an NBA record by attempting just one free throw, the fewest by a team since the shot clock was introduced in 1954-55.

Zach Randolph had 20 points and three blocked shots for Memphis. Paul Millsap paced the Hawks with 20 points, 11 rebounds and five steals in a game that featured a 24-point second quarter … combined.

San Antonio Spurs 104, CHARLOTTE BOBCATS 100
Patrick Mills scored 18 of his season-high 32 points in the fourth quarter as the Spurs came from behind to beat the Bobcats. It was San Antonio’s sixth straight win over Charlotte and its fourth in its last five games overall.

Tim Duncan added 16 points and 13 rebounds for the Spurs and Nando De Colo dropped in 15 points. Al Jefferson had 26 points, four steals and three blocks for the Bobcats, Gerald Henderson scored 23 points and Kemba Walker added 18. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist finished with 12 rebounds.
