- ASSOCIATED PRESS

Grizzlies 112, Pacers 103: Marc Gasol scored 20 points and Mike Conley added 13 points and 10 assists in his return home on Thursday night, helping Memphis rally for the victory at Indiana after being blown out at home by Cleveland on Wednesday.

The Grizzlies (1-1) had seven players score in double figures and closed it out by outscoring the Pacers 18-7 over the final 3:49.

George Hill scored 20 points for Indiana, and Paul George and C.J. Miles had 18 each. It wasn’t quite enough for the Pacers to avoid their first 0-2 start in six years.

The Pacers appeared to take command when they pulled out to a 75-66 lead with 1:44 left in the third quarter.

But the Grizzlies answered with 11 straight points to retake the lead early in the fourth. After George’s free throws gave the Pacers a 96-94 lead with 4:03 left, Gasol tied it with a short runner that sparked the final flurry.

THURSDAY’S HIGHLIGHT

Hawks 112, Knicks 101: Jeff Teague scored 23 points, Al Horford added 21 and visiting Atlanta beat New York for its first victory of the season.

Bouncing back from an opening loss, the Hawks shot 51 percent from the field.

Carmelo Anthony scored 25 points for the Knicks and was 10 of 27 from the field in his second straight poor shooting game.
