The Memphis Grizzlies (30) defeated the Charlotte Hornets (1 - 1) 71 - 69 on Saturday. Tayshaun Prince was given the start at small forward with Courtney Lee out due to a concussion that he suffered in Friday's game. Lee will be reevaluated before Monday's game to determine if he's past any symptoms that would exclude him from playing. Prince finished with just two points in 18 minutes. This was a gritty game between two defense - first teams, and it showed in the box score. The Grizzlies shot 36 percent from the field and 27 percent from beyond the arc. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist capitalized on the teams' shooting woes to corral 12 rebounds to go with 11 points in recording his first double - double of the season. The Hornets shot 36 percent from the field and 29 percent from beyond the arc, matching the Grizzlies' futility on offense. Bismack Biyombo was once again left on the bench for the entire game, and if the Hornets are n't going to use the young athletic big man against a large frontcourt like the Grizzlies who stress getting their offense close to the rim, Biyombo may find himself tied to the bench for most of the season. The Grizzlies' next game is at home Monday against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Hornets will complete a back - to - back set on the road Sunday against the New York Knicks.
