NBA ROUNDUP Tuesday's games

Lakers 103, Hawks 97
ATLANTA -- Kobe Bryant scored 37 points, including two drives to spark a 14-2 second-half run, and Los Angeles spoiled Atlanta's home opener. Bryant topped the 30-point mark for the fourth straight game and had 37 for the second straight game -- just off his NBA-best average of 36.3. Atlanta, sparked by Joe Johnson's season-high 26 points, led 29-19 in the first quarter and 51-48 at halftime. But following the last tie at 63, Bryant scored on back-to-back drives to send the Lakers on the run that made it 77-65. The Lakers kept the lead in double figures most of the rest of the game. Smush Parker had 21 points and has scored 20 or more points in three of the Lakers' four games. Lamar Odom added 13 points and 11 rebounds, and Devean George had 12 points. Al Harrington returned after missing two games with an ankle injury to get 18 points and 10 rebounds for Atlanta. Tyronn Lue and Zaza Pachulia each had 13 points.
Grizzlies 94, SuperSonics 69
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Shane Battier and Pau Gasol each scored 20 points and sparked a third-quarter rally for Memphis. Battier scored 13 points in the third quarter as Memphis built its lead to 68-51. Battier outscored the Sonics by himself until the final minute of the period. Meanwhile, Gasol had 10 in the quarter which Memphis closed with a 10-2 run. The win was the third straight for Memphis, and gave the Grizzlies (3-1) their second-best start in franchise history. They were 4-1 to open the 2000-01 season. It also snapped a six-game losing streak to the Sonics, who had won five straight in Memphis. Mike Miller added 14 points for the Grizzlies and Eddie Jones had 10. Ray Allen led the Sonics (1-2) with 15 points, less than half of his 31.5 average through Seattle's first two games.
Warriors 110, Bucks 103
MILWAUKEE -- Baron Davis had 20 points and 15 assists and Golden State went 13-of-27 from 3-point range. Troy Murphy scored 25 points -- including 4-of-7 from beyond the arc -- and Jason Richardson added 23 for the Warriors (3-1). Mo Williams and Michael Redd each had 21 points for the Bucks (3-1). Davis, a two-time All-Star, also throttled T.J. Ford, the Eastern Conference's player of the week. Ford went 3-of-14 with eight points and 11 assists -- 10 in the first half.
Magic 76, Rockets 74
HOUSTON -- Steve Francis scored 27 points and had two assists to Jameer Nelson in the final two minutes as Orlando won for the first time in four games. The Rockets (1-2) lost their second straight without Tracy McGrady, who's out three weeks with a back injury. Francis, who played for Houston from 1999-2004 and was traded in a blockbuster deal for McGrady in June 2004, shrugged off booing to go 12-of-26 from the field. Dwight Howard and DeShawn Stevenson each had 12 points and Nelson scored all 10 of his in the final quarter for the Magic. Yao Ming had 17 points for Houston.
