CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Marc Gasol isnt reading too much into the Memphis Grizzlies first 3-0 start.Thats better than being 0-3, he said with a shrug of his shoulders.Gasol scored 22 points, Zach Randolph had 12 points and 12 rebounds and the Grizzlies defeated the Charlotte Hornets 71-69 on Saturday night.Gasol said the Grizzlies, who played without the concussion-sidelined Courtney Lee, will have to improve dramatically on offence if they hope to keep winning. They beat the Hornets despite shooting 36 per cent from the field.It wasnt pretty, Gasol said. It felt like a quarter was missing. But well take the win.The Hornets (1-1) were led by Al Jefferson, who scored 19 points on 8-of-19 shooting. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist had 11 points and 12 rebounds, but the teams big free-agent acquisition, Lance Stephenson, scored two points and didnt play in the fourth quarter.The Hornets gave Stephenson a $27 million, three-year contract in the off-season.But coach Steve Clifford used Gary Neal late in the game. He also seemed to send a message to Stephenson afterwards.He just didnt play very well, Clifford said. I coach to win. I went with the team that played the best. The guys that know what theyre doing out there and played the best are the guys that played. The guys that continue to play like that will be the guys that play.Stephenson, who has been bothered by a groin injury, stood near the end of the bench for most of the last five minutes and cheered his teammates, although he looked a little perturbed.Im frustrated, Stephenson said. But thats part of being a pro, just learning from your mistakes, getting better every time and have no regrets.With the Grizzlies trailing 69-68, Gasol scored off a drive on a pick-and-roll and drew a foul from Marvin Williams for a 3-point play 58 seconds left.They were playing so far off the pick-and-roll, I made a little space and just drove it to the basket and got lucky and scored, Gasol said.Kemba Walker, who made two big shots including the overtime winner in the opener against Milwaukee, missed a 16-foot jumper with 5 seconds left that would have tied the game.The Grizzlies limited Charlottes version of the big three — Jefferson, Stephenson and Walker — to a combined six points on 2-of-14 shooting to take a 36-30 lead at halftime. Kidd-Gilchrist kept Charlotte in the game with 10 points and 10 rebounds in the first half.To go 2-1 on your first week Id be high -fiving you, bot to go 3-0 and beating Indiana on the road is very good, Grizzlies coach David Joerger said.BENCH PLAYGrizzlies starters outscored opposing starters 171-95 in their previous two games, but the teams bench production had been limited. Vince Carter gave Memphis a boost with nine points, although the Grizzlies reserves were still outscored 29-20.NO DefenceClifford was visibly upset with his teams play, particularly on defence, and pounded a table several times during his news conference as if slamming home a point. The disappointment, to be honest, if we defend in the last three minutes, we win the game, Clifford said. So we bit on two shot fakes that you cant do in this league. ... Two blown coverages and two things we worked on this morning. We did a good job the whole game but two bad individual defensive plays and two blown coverages in the last three minutes cost us. Its disappointing. Very disappointing.___TIP-INSGrizzlies: Joerger said Lee will be out a while with a concussion. Lee was injured in the first half of Memphiss 97-89 win over Indiana on Friday.
