Miami, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - Mike Conley scored 24 points and led the Memphis Grizzlies to a 103-95 win over the Miami Heat on Saturday. Marc Gasol had a productive game, scoring 22 points with 10 rebounds to help the Grizzlies snap a season-high four-game losing streak. When you are on a losing streak, its easy to find excuses, but I thought that we worked extra hard and gave the extra effort to pull away from the losing streak, Gasol said. Beno Udrih and Tayshaun Prince went for 11 and 10 points, respectively, for Memphis, which played without Zach Randolph (knee) for a fourth straight game. Dwyane Wade, coming off a 31-point outing on Christmas Day in a win against LeBron James and the Cavs, scored 25 points with seven assists. Danny Granger tallied 18 points off the bench and Luol Deng added 16 for the Heat, who have lost two of their last three and have not won back-to-back games since Nov. 22-23. Just couldnt get over the hump and couldnt stop fouling in the fourth. But it was extremely competitive in the second half, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. Miami cut the deficit to one on a few occasions in the fourth, but it could not break through. Prince knocked down a pair of free throws, then Conley converted a floater to make it a 93-86 game with 2:54 left. The Heat would not go away, though. Mario Chalmers supplied a three-point play and Chris Andersen followed with two free throws to trim the deficit to two. Chalmers missed a wide open 3-pointer after two free throws from Gasol, but Wade picked him up the next time down the floor with a driving basket with 53.8 seconds left. Gasol and Conley each made a pair of free throws to maintain a four-point lead, then Gasol came up with a big block of Chalmers that essentially sealed it in the closing seconds. Wade scored six points during a 23-5 surge in the third that cut a 19-point deficit to 65-64 with 3:25 left in the period. Udrih built the lead to 72-66 with five straight points late prior to Dengs 3 that closed the scoring in the third. Conley scored seven points over the first few minutes of the first quarter to help Memphis jump out to a 13-4 lead. He then hit a 3-pointer later in the frame as part of an 8-0 run that pushed the margin to 13 and the Grizzlies led 27-16 after 12 minutes. I wanted to get going early, Conley said. I just wanted to see something go in and it kind of got me going. Miami cut the deficit to six with under five minutes left in the second following a pair of free throws from Granger, but Memphis locked down on defense in the closing minutes. Conley and Gasol combined for 12 points during a 14-6 run over the final 3:17 of the half. Conleys trey just before the buzzer gave the Grizzlies a 57-41 edge at the break.

Pochettino replaced Tim Sherwood, who was fired on May 13 after just five months in the job following Tottenhams sixth-place finish in the league. The 42-year-old Pochettino developed a strong reputation for playing a positive, attacking brand of football in his 18 months at Southampton, which he joined from Spanish side Espanyol when he replaced Nigel Adkins. Southampton finished eighth in the standings last season, with its highest Premier League points haul of 56. "This is a club with tremendous history and prestige and I am honoured to have been given this opportunity to be its head coach," Pochettino said. "There is an abundance of top-class talent at the club and I am looking forward to starting work with the squad. We are determined to give the supporters the kind of attacking football and success that we are all looking to achieve." Pochettino is the eighth permanent manager to be appointed in Spurs chairman Daniel Levys 13 years at the club. "In Mauricio I believe we have a head coach who, with his high energy, attacking football, will embrace the style of play we associate with our club," Levy said in a statement. "He has a proven ability to develop each player as an individual, whilst building great team spirit and a winning mentality. We have a talented squad that Mauricio is excited to be coaching nexxt season.dddddddddddd" Tottenham aspires to qualify for the Champions League again, having played one season alongside Europes elite in 2010-11. Following the sale of winger Gareth Bale to Real Madrid for 100 million euros (then $132 million), the North-London club went through a chaotic season that has featured defeats of 6-0 and 5-1 to Manchester City, 5-0 at home to Liverpool and a change of manager when Andre Villas-Boas was replaced by Sherwood. Pochettinos arrival could also help relaunch the career of forward Erik Lamela, who has struggled to adapt to the Premier League and was hampered by a series of injuries since joining the club for an estimated 30 million pounds ($50.41 million) fee. Although he was beaten twice by Sherwood last season, the former Espanyol boss led Southampton to its highest-ever Premier League finish. He will keep working with his own staff, with assistant coach Jesus Perez, first team coach Miguel DAgostino and goalkeeper coach Toni Jimenez all following him to White Hart Lane. Southampton said it has begun its search for a "high-calibre" manager, with Sherwood reportedly an option to replace Pochettino alongside the likes of Malky Mackay, Steve McClaren, Murat Yakin and Michael Laudrup. "The club has been on a constant path of growth since the arrival of (the late owner) Markus Liebherr in 2009," Saints chairman Ralph Krueger said. "This growth took place before Mauricio came, it continued strongly under his leadership, and it will continue into the next season." ' ' '
