Meanwhile, Washington, despite the fact that John Wall had finally started to play like a No. 1 overall pick over the team's past five games, came in with the league's worst record at a miserable 2-12 and showed why rather quickly.
In fact I wondered if Flip Saunders, a solid coach in both Minnesota and Detroit before he ever arrived in D.C., might just walk off into the sunset at intermission with the Wiz behind 62-32.
Bowen was in the news earlier Monday when the San Antonio Spurs announced they were planning on retiring his No. 12 later this season.
Take Philadelphia. The Sixers have a storied history believe it or not. Glance up at that the rafters at WFC and you will see banners honoring Wilt Chamberlain's No. 13, Julius Erving's No. 6 and Billy Cunningham's 32.
But forget about Luke Jackson, the amazing power forward from the 1966-67 team that some still call the greatest of all time. And forget about Clint Richardson the defensive-minded guard from the Moses Malone-fueled Fo' Five Fo' '82-83 world championship team.
The Spurs have not and believe me I understand how Bowen exemplified the Gregg Popovich-era in the Alamo City. The 6-foot-7 swingman out of Cal State Fullerton earned a spot on the NBA's All-Defensive Team in eight of his nine seasons with the Spurs (was a second team selection in 2001, 2002 and 2003 before earning first team honors in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008).
But, understand those other four players were no one-trick ponies and could hurt you at both ends of the floor. Bowen was a non-entity for most of his career on offense.
Some romantics have already told me that Bowen's honor will send future players a message that professionalism, hard work and unselfishness are rewarded in San Antonio.
Larry Kenyon should be insulted and Tiago Splitter should be getting ready.
San Antonio evidently needs another marketing ploy -- one that insults the very fabric of this proud basketball powerhouse.
Mike Conley chipped in 20 points and nine assists, while Marc Gasol added 15 points and 11 rebounds for the Grizzlies, who scored 13 points off nine turnovers in the fourth quarter.
The Grizzlies led 2-0, then didn't play front-runner again until Conley shifted through the lane for a layup and an 86-85 edge with 1:23 remaining.
The basket came after an 11-0 run shrunk a 17-point deficit down to 78-72 with under five minutes to play.
