GRANADA, Spain -- Karim Benzema scored to give Real Madrid a 1-0 win at Granada in the Spanish league Monday amid growing speculation the club is close to a blockbuster deal to sign Wales winger Gareth Bale. Madrid started brightly thanks to the playmaking of Angel Di Maria which led to Benzemas goal in the 10th minute, but left Granada with the chance to snatch the draw late. Madrid joined defending champion Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Athletic Bilbao and Villarreal as the only teams to win the first two rounds of the season. Madrids offer to English club Tottenham for Bale is reportedly similar to the record 80 million pounds (then $131 million) it paid for Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009. And while it appeared the transfer was close to being done over the weekend, Bale remained a Tottenham player and is expected back with his team after a two-day break to rest a hurt foot he used to visit the southern Spanish resort town of Marbella. If Bales possible arrival wasnt enough to distract from the action on the pitch at Los Carmenes Stadium, there was also the sight of Spain and Madrid captain Iker Casillas sitting on the bench for a second consecutive match under coach Carlo Ancelotti. Despite a week of pressure by Spanish media to see Casillas returned to Madrids goal, Ancelotti stuck with Lopez in goal and maintained former coach Jose Mourinhos decision from last season to reduce Casillas to the role of backup. Ancelotti said his decision was because "Diegos playing well right now. Theres nothing else to say." Madrid defender Alvaro Arbeloa called on Madrids fans to unite behind the team and let rest the debate over the goalkeeper. "I support them both, Lopez and Iker, just like my teammates do, and I think it would be interesting if the public did the same," he said. Even though Madrid has two wins in as many games, it has struggled to take the first six points of the season after needing a late goal to edge Real Betis in Ancelottis debut. "We are in the second round, with a new coach and new players," said Arbeloa. "Its normal that we are not at our top level. We are trying to do it the best we can, but it takes time." Bale might be tagged to be Madrids next big threat up front, but in the meantime Di Maria put on an all-around attacking display against the overmatched Granada in the first half hour. Di Maria had already tested the keeper and set up Benzema before Granada left the Argentina international with enough time to pick out Ronaldos run from the left flank. The Portugal forwards first touch to control the ball wasnt good, but Benzema was there to drive the ball home as the defence looked on. Madrid seemed ready to romp as Mesut Ozil was denied from close by Granada goalie Roberto Fernandez and Di Maria again crossed for Ronaldo, only for Ronaldo to uncharacteristically whiff when trying to slot in the dangerous pass. Madrid almost doubled its lead in the 62nd through Francisco "Isco" Alarcon who wrong-footed his marker before forcing Fernandez to push his shot onto the post. Ronaldo came alive as the rest faded and drew several saves from Fernandez, but he was still left without a goal this season. Granada surged forward in the final minutes and managed to trap Madrid in its area, but it couldnt do better than pepper the box with crosses that never turned into shots on goal.

Allen scored 18 points as the Heat defeated the Memphis Grizzles 91-86 on Friday night and avoided losing at home for the third time in their last four games. Allen is averaging 18 points per game in Miamis past five games. "Its really just team oriented," Allen said. "When we play well, we move the ball around. Theres no telling whos going to be the recipient. Whether its offensively or defensively, somebodys got to make plays out there. "On any given night, based on who we play, it could be anybody." Miami rallied from an 84-77 deficit with 4:08 remaining and scored 11 unanswered points. Allens 3-pointer with 3:27 remaining began the comeback and Dwyane Wades jumper with 1:32 left tied it at 84. Wades two free throws with 1:04 left gave the Heat their first lead since early in the third quarter. "We had to make plays on both ends in the fourth quarter and manage the game with intensity and the right plays," Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said. After Mike Miller missed a 3-point attempt with 51 seconds remaining for the Grizzlies, LeBron James jumper with 24 seconds left capped the Heats late run for an 88-84 advantage. James finished with 15 points, and Wade and Mario Chalmers scored 14 points each for the Heat. James also had seven assists and six rebounds. "It was one of those grind-out, playoff-type games," said James, who sat out Miamis game at Boston on Wednesday because of back spasms. "No matter what happens, you just have to try to make plays to help you win. Myself, and D-Wade and the rest of the guys made plays down the stretch." Zach Randolph scored 25 points and had 14 rebounds for the Grizzlies. Marc Gasol finished with 14 points, but left because of a sprained ankle midway through the third quarter and didnt return. "We turned the basketball over way too much," Memphis coach David Joerger said of his teams six fourth-quarter turnovers..dddddddddddd "Theyve got good players that made big plays." Chalmers scored eight points during a 16-4 run that closed the third quarter and helped Miami erase a 12-point gap. Chris Andersens tip-in at the buzzer ended the surge and tied it at 68. "We got kind of stagnant toward the end," Randolph said. "Overall, we played good. We just couldnt make shots toward the end." The Grizzlies opened the second half on an 11-2 spurt behind two baskets each from Gasol and Randolph. But Gasol injured his left ankle after colliding with Chris Boshs left foot. Gasol left for the dressing room with 6:20 remaining and didnt return. "He got hurt and then the game kind of changed," Randolph said. Mike Conleys three-point play with 5:13 left in the third period gave the Grizzlies their first double-digit lead at 62-52. "The Memphis Grizzlies are a very good team thats playing well and we just had to find a way in any way possible, and it all happened on the defensive end of the floor for us," Wade said. Miami rallied from two nine-point deficits early in the second quarter and finished the period on a 14-7 spurt. James jumper with 37 seconds remaining gave the Heat a 45-43 lead at halftime. Millers first basket against his former teammates was a 3-pointer that increased the Grizzlies lead to 29-29 with 9:46 remaining in the second quarter. Miller received a huge ovation from fans and hugs from his former teammates when he was presented with the Heats championship ring before the game. He was not available after the game. "We hate that hes not around here still," James said. "Its great to see our fans and our franchise pay respect to a guy who helped us win two championships."
