The Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Denver Nuggets 119 - 99 Wednesday at Pepsi Center. The Grizzlies (30 - 21) continued to roll with yet another dominant victory, and they have now won three straight games on the road by a grand total of 46 points. Marc Gasol was once again tremendous in the winning effort, scoring an efficient 24 points in 24 minutes on top of five rebounds and three assists. Mike Conley added 18 points of his own, but it was the bench that really carried Memphis through the end of the game, with eight different reserves seeing the court Wednesday. Zach Randolph and Vince Carter each poured in 14 points as reserves, while James Ennis added 13 points, and the entire Grizzlies bench unit managed to produce 59 total points. In the end, with all 13 players, it was an offensive clinic for Memphis, who shot 47 percent from behind the arc and recorded 28 assists to just eight turnovers. As for the Nuggets (21 - 27), they've now dropped two straight games after rattling off three straight victories, as the absence of Nikola Jokic (hip) has really taken a tole on this team. His replacement, Jusuf Nurkic, scored just four points on 1 - of - 4 shooting and grabbed three rebounds in 19 minutes. The Nuggets did get some positive injury news, however, as Emanuel Mudiay (back) returned following a five - game absence, and while it was reported that he would be on a 20 - minute restriction, Mudiay ended up playing 26 minutes and had a solid all - around game, recording 14 points, seven assists and six rebounds. As a team, however, it was a forgettable night for Denver, as they shot just 40 percent from the field and committed 17 turnovers. Up next, the Grizzlies will look to continue their hot streak in Oklahoma City on Friday against the Thunder, while the Nuggets will look to turn things around at home against the Bucks on Friday.
