Gay sends Grizzlies over Magic
Basketball Betting Lines
10/31/2008 -
Memphis, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rudy Gay scored a game-high 29 points,
including the game-winner as time expired to lead the Memphis Grizzlies in an
86-84 victory over the Orlando Magic in the team's home opener.
O.J. Mayo added 17 points and six rebounds for the Grizzlies, who bounced back
from an 82-71 drubbing by the Houston Rockets on Wednesday in their season-
opener. Marc Gasol chipped in 10 points, while Darrell Arthur hauled in 10
boards in the win.
Rashard Lewis paced the Magic, who lost their season-opener 99-85 to Atlanta
on Wednesday, with 23 points. Hedo Turkoglu added 18 points, nine rebounds and
seven assists, and Dwight Howard had 14 points to go with 14 rebounds in
defeat.
The teams traded baskets and the lead changed hands until a pair at the
charity stripe from Hakim Warrick knotted the contest up at 84-84 with 68
seconds to play.
On the ensuing Orlando possession, Keith Bogans had his shot blocked and
Memphis brought the ball down and, after a missed shot from just inside the
three-point line, called a timeout with 24.1 ticks showing on the clock.
The Grizzlies inbounded the ball and Gay controlled the dribble before
driving to the lane and pulling up just inside the right arc. His shot caromed
off the back of the rim and out of bounds to stop time with 2.8 left.
Following a timeout, a lob pass intended for Howard under the rim was
intercepted by Kyle Lowry, who had the presence of mind to call a timeout with
1.9 to go.
Lowry then inbounded the ball to Gay, who was perfectly positioned in the
right corner, just inside the three-point marker. Gay's rainbow shot over
Bogans dropped in as time expired to give the Grizzlies a dramatic victory.
Memphis held a slight 26-25 lead after the first quarter.
A pair of free throws from Turkoglu gave the Magic a 36-35 lead, but Mayo and
Gay nailed back-to-back jumpers to give the home team a three-point lead with
4:49 left in the half.
Up by a point about 2 1/2 minutes later, a Turkoglu fade away sparked an 11-0
end to the half, sending Orlando to a 55-43 halftime cushion.
A Bogans three-pointer made it 60-45 with about 9 1/2 minutes left in the
third quarter, but Darko Milicic's dunk sparked a 16-6 run for Memphis. Gay
and Mike Conley hit consecutive jumpers, and Mayo's trey closed it out with
2:44 left. The surge made it a five-point game, 66-61.
The Magic held a 68-61 lead heading into the final stanza and, falling behind
by 11 points early on, Gay's pullup jumper sparked a 13-0 Memphis run that
gave the Grizzlies the lead. Gay had eight points on the surge and as Lowry's
layup fell, it was 76-74 with 5 1/2 minutes remaining in favor of the home
team.
Game Notes
Howard has dominated Memphis to the tune of five straight double-doubles
against the Grizzlies...Memphis hit just 2-of-13 (15 percent) three-point
attempts, but went 24-of-30 (80 percent) from the foul line...Prior to the
game, the Grizzlies exercised the fourth-year team options on Gay and Lowry,
in addition to picking up the third-year options on Conley and guard Javaris
Crittenton...These two teams split a pair of meetings last season...Orlando
had won two of the last three meetings in the series coming into Friday's
tilt.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:
Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma)
Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State)
