Memphis was 2 of 14 from 3-point range.Nuggets: After consulting with a sleep study group, Shaw is having his team practice during the afternoon before games rather than in the morning. Our attention span isnt always the greatest, Shaw said. So when we do stuff in the morning, sometimes its in one ear and out by the time we get back that night.UP NEXTGrizzlies: Host New York on Monday.Nuggets: Visit Minnesota on Monday. http://www.adizxflux-fr.com/homme-nike-a...9-402.html .J. -- Jaromir Jagr has hit so many NHL milestones this season for the New Jersey Devils that he is starting to downplay them. http://www.adizxflux-fr.com/adidas-zx-70...ourse.html . The 2005 Paris champion won five straight games in the first set to rally from a 3-1 deficit, hitting 12 winners to only three for Verdasco.

The Blue Jackets had opportunities to take control in the second, but could not solve Brodeur. He made 10 saves in the period, highlighted by stopping Atkinson on a breakaway at 1:24. The Columbus right wing blocked Eric Gelinas point shot, and then beat the New Jersey defenceman to the loose puck in the neutral zone to begin the play. Even though Brodeur was very good in the second, Columbus had three opportunities on the power play in the period and allowed just four shots. The Blue Jackets finished the game 0 for 5 on the man advantage in 8:26 of power play time. While Brodeur was busy in the first two periods, McElhinney only faceed nine shots on goal and stopped them all. http://www.adizxflux-fr.com/adidas-zx-70...ourse.html. . But New Jersey began to pressure Columbus in the third. The Devils had eight shots on goal in the period and finished with 17 for the game. The offensive attack paid off when Henrique drew the Devils even at 1-1 at 5:45 of the third when he shoved a rebound of a Patrik Elias shot past McElhinney before crashing into the Columbus goaltender. The goal was the seventh of the season for Henrique. NOTES: Clowe returned to the Devils lineup Friday night after missing 31 games with post-concussion symptoms following a Jacob Trouba elbow on Oct. 13. "Hes been out for a while," Devils coach Pete DeBoer said when he met with reporters following the morning skate. Hes worked really hard at keeping himself and getting himself back into good shape. Hes done a ton of off-ice stuff so I dont think conditioning will be an issue, but anytime you miss that kind of time he missed and jump in at this point in the season, timing and things like that are going to be things he has to work through." ... The game was the first for both teams following the NHLs three-day holiday break. "Sometimes coming out of breaks like this its about trying to finding that edge, again," Blue Jackets coach Todd Richards said after the morning skate. "For me its the mental side of the game."
