OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Mike Conley poured in 21 points on 8 of 12 shooting as the Memphis Grizzlies ended the Golden State Warriors' 21-game home winning streak, 97-90.

HOUSTON (AP) — Los Angeles Clippers coach Doc Rivers thinks the odds are 50-50 point guard Chris Paul will return to the lineup on Wednesday in Houston.
