The Atlanta Hawks (37 - 29) defeated the Memphis Grizzlies (39 - 27) 95 - 83 on Saturday. The Hawks put together one of their strongest defensive efforts of the year in stifling a depleted Grizzlies offense, which finally seemed to hit a wall after playing well in recent games despite numerous injuries. Saturday, they were once again without Zach Randolph (knee), Mike Conley (foot) and Chris Andersen (shoulder), leaving them considerably short - handed. Memphis also appeared spent after an exhilirating overtime victory over the Pelicans on Friday night, and saw only one starter, Tony Allen, post double - digit scoring. They managed a lackluster 35 percent success rate from the field, and a 26 percent figure from three - point range. Their fatigue also was reflected in their 16 turnovers, and their overall sluggish performance. Allen's 15 points paced the Memphis starting five, and he added nine rebounds and two steals. Lance Stephenson was the overall team leader on offense for the second straight night, posting 18 points, eight rebounds and six assists over 30 minutes. The newly - signed Ray McCallum acquitted himself well in his first game with the Grizzlies, totaling 13 points, four rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block. Jarell Martin was the third reserve to post double - digit scoring, registering 10 points, four rebounds and a steal. The Grizzlies remain in second place in the Western Conference's Southwest Division, and currently hold the fifth seed in the conference. They head to Houston to face the Rockets on Monday night. Atlanta was paced by Paul Millsap, who posted 21 points, seven rebounds, five assists, a steal and a block. Al Horford followed with 19 points, eight boards, two assists and four blocks. Jeff Teague was next in line with 18 points, seven assists, two rebounds, a steal and two blocks. Kyle Korver contributed 15 points, four rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks. Thabo Sefolosha led the Hawks bench with 13 points, 11 rebounds, a steal and two blocks. Atlanta remains in third place in the Eastern Conference's Southeast Division, and has a hold of the sixth seed in the conference as well. They're home again against the Indiana Pacers on Sunday.
