Timberwolves Still Winless At Home After Loss To Grizzlies

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Jeff Green scored a season-high 21 points, and Mike Conley matched his season-high with 20 points to go with six assists and the Memphis Grizzlies held on to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 114-106 on Sunday.

Six players scored in double figures for Memphis, which won its second straight after losing four in a row. Marc Gasol had 14 points and seven rebounds for the Grizzlies, who shot a season-high 56.3 percent from the field.

Zach Lavine scored 25 points to lead Minnesota, which is 0-5 at home this season. Andrew Wiggins added 21 points for the Timberwolves, who dropped their fourth straight game overall.

Conley's 3-pointer with about 5 minutes left to play snapped an 89-all tie. Conley had been held to 15 total points in the previous two games, but he scored six in the fourth quarter to allow Memphis to finally pull away. Green added 15 points in the second half on 7-of-12 shooting.

Conley was 7 of 14 from the field and he hit four of his 6 3-point attempts as the Grizzlies easily bettered their top shooting percentage in a game this season. Memphis entered play last in the NBA in field goal percentage (40.1) and had a season-best 50.0 percent at Indiana on Oct. 29.

As a team, the Grizzlies shot 9 of 17 from 3-point range.

Even with Wiggins, who has scored at least 20 points in four of his past five games, and the immediate contributions from rookie Karl-Anthony Towns, Minnesota is off to its worst start at home since 1994 when it lost its first 10 home games.

TIP-INS:

Grizzlies: Green replaced Courtney Lee in the starting lineup for Memphis, with Tony Allen moving to shooting guard and matching up with Wiggins. Lee had started every game this season but had been held to single digits in scoring in each of the previous four games. . Memphis has won 19 of the past 23 games against Minnesota and 10 of the past 12 at Target Center.

Timberwolves: Ricky Rubio missed his fourth straight game with a strained left hamstring. Interim coach Sam Mitchell wouldn't reveal a timeframe or any other details about Rubio's progress. Rubio played in just 22 games last season because of an ankle injury. . Kevin Garnett became the fifth player in NBA history to play at least 50,000 minutes. Garnett joined Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone, Jason Kidd and Elvin Hayes. Minnesota played the French National Anthem before the game as a tribute to the lives lost in the terrorist attacks in Paris.
