Game Notes

- Count the career-highs: Gasol’s posting personal bests in points (19.7 per game), assists (4.3) and, of course, three-pointers made (1.4 on a sweet 41.1 percentage, and with only three attempts from the corners). Again: the guy is 31, turning 32 at the end of the month. It would’ve been absurd to expect this. We should thank David Fizdale for the threes, and probably also for Gasol’s career high in a different stat: field goals attempted, at 15.9 per game. — Kevin Yeung, SB Nation
- Klay Thompson (illness) questionable for the Grizzlies game on Friday night — Anthony Slater, San Jose Mercury
