MEMPHIS, Tenn. Kelly Olynyk Jersey . -- The lack of comments by the Sacramento Kings players on a jump ball with less than 2 seconds left silently said enough about what they thought of the call. Mike Conley had 25 points and six assists, then grabbed possession of the jump ball to help the Memphis Grizzlies secure a 91-90 victory over the Kings on Friday night. While the Kings players dodged the question, it was evident Sacramento coach Michael Malone disagreed with the call, crossing the court after the final horn to scream at official Marc Davis. "I thought it was an awful call," Malone said in his postgame comments. "I didnt see a jump (ball). It looked like to me the official made the call and was running the other way." The call was important in a tight game that included 17 ties, 11 lead changes and came down to the final possession. Courtney Lee added 17 points for Memphis, which won its season-best fifth straight. Marc Gasol, in his third game back after missing 23 games with a knee injury, finished with 16 points, and Zach Randolph had 12 points and nine rebounds. DeMarcus Cousins led the Kings with 22 points and 17 rebounds, while Rudy Gay scored 19 points, 11 of those in the fourth, as the Kings built their lead. Isaiah Thomas finished with 14 points and nine assists. Jason Thompson and Derrick Williams had 10 points each. The jump ball between Gay and Tayshaun Prince on the Kings end of the court with 1.9 seconds left ended up in Conleys hands. Gasol actually smacked the ball away in the post-jump scramble before Conley grabbed it. "They tipped it to DeMarcus and (Gasol) was able to get his hand on the ball," Conley said. "I knew if I touched it, Im just trying to get it out of my hands and throw it as far as I can so I wouldnt get fouled." The Kings players were very careful not to criticize the jump ball call. "It was a rough game down the stretch," Cousins said, "thats all I can really say." When asked about the last call, he replied: "It was a jump ball. I saw what yall saw. What (did) yall see?" Gay responded by saying: "No comment. Anybody that saw it at home saw what happened. You (can) make up whatever you want to make up about that." Memphis trailed 88-81 with about 4 minutes left, but outscored the Kings 10-2 the rest of the way. In fact, the burst started right after Grizzlies coach David Joerger got a technical, also called by Davis. Gay took over to start the fourth, scoring the first eight points by Sacramento, then Thomas scored on a reverse layup and a 3-pointer. That matched the Kings biggest lead at 84-77. The Kings still held a seven-point advantage after Joergers technical for arguing a call against Gasol with 4:01 left. Memphis scored 10 straight points to retake the lead 91-88 with 54.2 seconds remaining. Gays rebound basket cut the lead to 91-90 with 39 seconds left, setting the stage for the final jump ball. Neither team was able to build a lead in the game of more than the seven points the Kings held with 4 minutes left. "We got stops seven of the last eight possessions, and I think Im counting 10 of the last 13," Joerger said. "So, going down the stretch, the intensity was good. We got deflections, got our hands on basketballs, and came up with loose balls." NOTES: Memphis has won 13 of the last 15 in the series. ... Cousins has double-doubles in his last 13 games, matching LaSalle Thompsons 13 straight in the mid-80s for the most in Sacramento franchise history. . At 20-19, Memphis is above .500 for the first time since being 9-8 on Dec. 3. .The 90 points by Sacramento marked only the second time in the last 15 games that the Kings scored less than 100. Goran Dragic Jersey . Hattestad managed to avoid the carnage midway through the mens final, as a crash took out three skiers, essentially leaving two men vying for gold.

LONDON -- Two months after winning the World Cup, Germany opened its 2016 European Championship campaign with a 2-1 victory over Scotland on Sunday, while Portugal and Greece both slumped to defeats in their qualifying matches. Thomas Mueller scored both Germanys goals -- a difficult backward header in the 18th minute and a close-range effort in the 70th -- just four minutes after Ikechi Anya had grabbed a deserved equalizer for Scotland. "Im satisfied with the three points. It was important to start with a win," said Germany coach Joachim Loew, whose side is unbeaten in 33 European Championship or World Cup qualifiers. Elsewhere, a Portugal side without injured Cristiano Ronaldo lost 1-0 at home to Albania, 10-man Romania beat Greece 1-0 and Serbia drew 1-1 with Euro 2016 host France in a friendly. Germany laboured for long periods in the Group D match, particularly in the second half when the Scots were at their most dangerous, but still the home side might have scored more goals. "Theyre very well organized. We missed one or two chances to make it more convincing. Then it got a bit close toward the end," Mueller said. Mueller missed two good opportunities before making the most of his third, when he beat two defenders to Sebastian Rudys cross and looped the ball over the goalkeeper. Anya equalized when he raced onto Steven Fletchers through ball and beat Neuer with a cool finish inside the far post. But Mueller soon restored the home sides lead after a goalmouth scramble, rifling the ball to the roof of the net after Scotland failed to clear. Scotland ended the game with 10 men after Charlie Mulgrew earned two yellow cards in injury time. In the other Group D matches, Poland routed Gibraltar 7-0 in Portugal on the "home" sides competitive UEFA debut, and Ireland beat Georgia 2-1 in Tbilisi. Portugal sorely missed Ronaldos firepower as it was upset by unfancied Albania aand was loudly jeered by unhappy fans. Alonzo Mourning Jersey. Bekim Bajals spectacular second-half volley embarrassed the Portuguese who couldnt translate their dominance into goals, although Nani came close several times in his 75th appearance and newcomer Ricardo Horta hit the woodwork. The surprise result compounded Portugals problems after its disappointing first-round exit at the World Cup in Brazil. Portugal commonly struggles in qualifying campaigns and had to go through the playoffs to reach the 2010 World Cup, Euro 2012 and the 2014 World Cup. Also in Group I, Denmark came from behind to beat Armenia 2-1. Pierre Emile Hojbjerg levelled and substitute Thomas Kahlenberg netted the late winner for Denmark which fell behind to an early goal from Armenias Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Aleksander Kolarovs 80th-minute equalizer earned Serbia a 1-1 draw against France, which qualifies automatically as host country. Paul Pogba scored for the French. It was visitors day in Group F with 10-man Romania beating Greece, Northern Ireland finding late goals to defeat Hungary 2-1 and Finland beating the Faroe Islands 3-1 after being a goal down at halftime. Greece was perhaps lucky to have played in front of empty stands -- due to a home stadium ban -- as the players were spared the likely embarrassment of being booed by their own fans for a sub-par performance. Romania captain Ciprian Marica scored the winner with a penalty in the 10th minute, and then left his teammates to eke out a victory after getting sent off with a second yellow card in the 53rd. In Budapest, Niall McGinn, in the 81st, and Kyle Lafferty, in the 88th, led Northern Ireland to the win over Hungary. Tamas Priskin had opened the scoring for the hosts in the 75th. At Torshavn, Riku Riski scored in the 53rd and 78th for Finland, with Roman Eremenko adding a third in the 78th. Christian Holst had opened the scoring for the Faroe Islands in the 41st.
