ARE, Sweden -- Viktoria Rebensburg won the womens giant slalom World Cup race Wednesday, breaking Slovenian Tina Mazes winning streak. Connor Barwin Jersey . Under floodlights, the German two-time defending champion in the giant slalom clocked the best opening run and then managed to hold on in the second to win in a total time of 2 minutes, 28.94 seconds. Austrian Anna Fenninger was second, 0.62 behind. "I have been in good shape the last couple of weeks, even though Courchevel where I finished 15th (last week) wasnt that good," Rebensburg said of her improving form. "Today I tried to push and ski as good as possible. I knew Ive been going in the right direction." Maze, who arrived in the Swedish resort with four consecutive giant slalom wins this season, was third, 0.91 behind the winner. After taking a convincing lead in the first run, Rebensburg recovered from a severe mistake in the second to hold on for the win. "I just tried to fight back in the course, I thought the speed wasnt gone and I knew I was one second ahead. I kept pushing," she said. It was the ninth World Cup victory for Rebensburg, and her eighth in giant slalom. She finished on the podium in GS races at St. Moritz and Aspen. Despite having her winning streak ended, Maze still added to her overall World Cup lead. She moved to 859 points, 351 ahead of German Maria Hoefl-Riesch. "The first run was not what I wanted. I was quite disappointed with that one. It was hard to find the speed," Maze said. "Its hard to always make a perfect run. "Still, Im happy with my performance today. I hope to do a good slalom (Thursday). (Thursday) is another 100 points." Maze attributed her form this season to a gradual improvement in her skiing. "Its year by year that Ive been doing better," she said. "Last year, I was second (overall) ... (But) last season was the hardest ever for me. I was always there but never on top (of a race). I think I was one-hundredth behind once." Overall champion Lindsey Vonn was absent from the event, having opted for a midseason break to fully recover from an intestinal illness.

The Grizzlies held Toronto to 31 per cent shooting and forced 11 turnovers in the second half to pull away and beat the Raptors 103-82 on Wednesday night for their third straight win. "Our defence was overwhelming in the third quarter. It was just outstanding," Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said. "We just came out with a mindset that was committed to playing defence." Marreese Speights had 18 points and 12 rebounds for Memphis. Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph finished with 17 points apiece, Randolph adding 13 rebounds and six assists. Mike Conley had 16 points, going 4 of 5 on 3-pointers, and Rudy Gay added 14 as Memphis maintained the best record in the NBA (11-2). For Speights, it was redemption for a spotty start to the season. He entered the game averaging 6.1 points and 4.3 rebounds, while shooting less than 38 per cent. He finished Wednesdays game connecting on 7 of 11 shots, including his only attempt outside the arc. Hollins cited a change in Speights mentality before the game, going back to Tuesdays practice. "I just went out there with the confidence I used to have," Speights said. "In the past, I lost a lot of confidence knowing that certain things werent going my way. (I know) Ive got to be a professional and go hard in practice and every time Im on the court that Coach gives me an opportunity." DeMar DeRozan led the Raptors with 16 points, while Kyle Lowry and Jose Calderon scored 12 apiece. Linas Kleiza added 11 points, but was 5 of 15 from the field, as Toronto lost its sixth straight. The Raptors played without Andrea Bargnani, their second-leading scorer, who sat out after hurting his left ankle in Tuesday nights loss at Houston. Memphis dominated the points in the paint 46-32 and held a 46-33 advantage on the boards, including 12-7 off the offensive glass, leading to 16 second-chance points. "It hurts, but its supposed to hurt when you get spanked like that," Toronto coach Dwane Casey said. The Grizzlies led 48-47 at the break in a half that saw 14 lead changes and six ties. The Grizzlies had an early nine-point lead, but from there it was closely played. "If we only played the second half good, we would be in good shape," Casey said. Conley had 10 points for Memphis, going 3 of 4 outside the arc in the first half. Kleiza already had 11 points for Toronto, but it took him 13 shots to connect on five. Brooks Reed Jersey. He was taking the bulk of the shots as DeRozan and Lowry, Torontos two leading scorers with Bargnani out, combined for only 4 of 7 shots in the first half. Otherwise, most of the team stats were close, representing the first half. "We told our guys at halftime that they were going to turn up the juice," Casey said of the Grizzlies. "Now, youve got to meet their toughness with our toughness." The Raptors werent able to match that intensity, and Memphis turned the game around in the third. The Grizzlies put together an 11-1 run to open its first double-digit lead of the game. Then they continued to turn up the defence. Tony Allen blocked DeRozan and grabbed the ball, then finished the break with a dunk. That put Memphis up 70-53. Memphis eventually forced seven turnovers in the period and outscored Toronto 33-14, carrying an 81-61 lead into the fourth. The Raptors were only 4 of 17 from field in the third, while Memphis connected on 72 per cent in the stanza. "Coach calmly came in (at halftime) and said they were outworking us, and we needed to step up our intensity," Conley said "Thats what we did in the third quarter, defensively, more than anything." After that, the most excitement came with 3:37 left when Quincy Acy was called for a flagrant foul on Gay, who took exception to the play. Acy and Gay also got technicals. DeRozan said the Raptors have to understand as a team that opponents are trying to turn up the intensity on them, particularly after halftime. The third-quarter collapse was indicative of the teams problems. "We have to look at it now and be sick and tired of losing coming out of the second half," DeRozan said. "We have to realize that and understand that we are doing it to ourselves. We have to man up in the second half and jump on other teams." NOTES: Lowry was Memphis first-round pick in the 2006 draft. . Allen limped to the bench late in the third period but returned in the fourth. . Randolph had his 12th double-double in 13 games this season. . Memphis F Darrell Arthur sat out with a sore knee.
