Grizzlies aim for second win in Sacramento
Jan 10, 2008 - 2:38 PM Memphis (10-24) at Sacramento (13-20) 10:00 pm ESTSACRAMENTO, California (Ticker) -- The Memphis Grizzlies aim for just their second win in franchise history at Arco Arena on Thursday when they visit the Sacramento Kings.
Memphis has lost 17 straight games in Sacramento dating to a 112-108 overtime triumph on April 19, 1998. It was just the franchise's third season, and its leading scorer was Shareef Abdur-Rahim, who is now with the Kings.
Thursday could be the Grizzlies' best opportunity in years, with Abdur-Rahim joining leading scorers Mike Bibby, Kevin Martin and Ron Artest on the bench with injuries for Sacramento.
The Kings have lost six of their last eight games, but snapped a four-game home losing streak with a 104-100 victory over the Orlando Magic on Tuesday. John Salmons scored 21 points to pace five players in double figures.
Memphis has lost seven of nine and owns the third-worst record in the Western Conference. On Tuesday, the Grizzlies endured a 117-101 home loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Defense has been a problem all season for the Grizzlies, who allow opponents to shoot 47 percent, the third-worst mark in the NBA.
