The host Sacramento Kings narrowly defeated the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday, 91 - 90, thanks to clutch free - throws from point guard Darren Collison. Collison led the Kings (29 - 45) to their second straight win, posting team highs of 23 points and seven assists. Sacramento struggled mightily on the glass all game, allowing the Grizzlies a nine - rebound advantage and 19 offensive boards. Fortunately, shots just were n't falling for Memphis, as the Grizz were held to just 34 percent shooting from the field. The Kings, meanwhile, enjoyed fairly stellar offensive output. The team shot over 46 percent from the field and saw five players score in double figures. Three-point shooting was a problem, though, as the team hit just 25 percent of its shots from beyond the arc. Memphis (40 - 34) has hit a cold stretch in the season at an inopportune time, as the Western Conference playoff race continues to heat up. The team has now lost four straight games and looked lost on the offensive end on Monday. The Grizzlies were able to stay in the game and remain competitive despite stagnant offense. While point guard Mike Conley poured in 22 points, it was still an off night for Memphis in terms of scoring. What was particularly problematic was the team's shooting from long range, as they hit just 19 percent of their attempts from three - point range. Ball movement was another issue, with only 15 field goals coming off assists for Memphis. The Grizzlies will host the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday, while the Kings will see the Utah Jazz.
