    SALT LAKE CITY, April 5 (Ticker) -- Gordan Giricek finally may have found a home.

    Giricek scored 25 points against the team that drafted him, leading the Utah Jazz to a pivotal 92-81 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies.

    The second-year swingman made 8-of-18 shots, reached double figures for the 11th time in 15 games and helped move the Jazz (41-37) a half-game ahead of the idle Denver Nuggets for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. </div>

    Posey lead both games with a combined 37 points. The main reasons they lost were because Pau Gasol missed the first game of his career, Wells' injury kept him sidelined, and Gordan Giricek errupted for 25 points. I don't think the Grizzlies are headed in a bad direction. They're getting rest after locking for the playoffs. They were injured, and there's no reason to risk injury for a pretty much meaningless game in Utah. I don't think the Mavericks will stay with them much longer. The only game left on the Grizzlies' schedule that I don't like is the game against the Lakers at the Staples Center.

    The Mavs have been playing well lately.

    At this point, it's between SA and LAL.

    5th sounds good.
