"It was another sequence tarnished by poor execution when the basketball ricocheted toward Lionel Hollins.

After one bounce, Hollins cocked his leg. On the second bounce, the Grizzlies' head coach unleashed a bit of frustration. Hollins angrily kicked the ball some 25 feet in the air and onto a balcony overlooking the team's practice court.

The Griz take a 3-6 record into their nationally televised game tonight against the New York Knicks, and Hollins clearly is tired of making excuses for punting away games."
