The Memphis Grizzlies (55 - 27) took a 20 lead when they defeated the Portland Trail Blazers (51 - 31) 97 - 82 on Wednesday. Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol went just 9 - for - 31 from the floor combined, yet the Grizzlies still managed to win game two of the series, with ease. They found other ways to get it done on the floor, as Randolph grabbed ten rebounds and Gasol recorded three blocks and five assists. It did n't hurt that they turned the ball over just five times and took incredible care of the basketball throughout the game. Point guards Mike Conley and Beno Udrih turned the ball over just twice in 48 minutes combined. The Grizzlies top bench performer was Jeff Green who had a plus - 20 in the plus/minus statistic and finished with nine points, five rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 27 minutes. In this series he's averaging 10 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks in 28 minutes a game. He'll try and continue to lead the Memphis bench attack again on Saturday in game three from Portland. LaMarcus Aldridge had 15 points and 10 rebounds at half time with his team down 50 - 39. He was n't able to keep up the pace and his team was n't able to mount a comeback, and now they'll head back to Portland without a victory thus far in the series. Aldridge still put up a great all - around game with 24 points, 14 rebounds, four blocks and two steals, but he and Nicolas Batum each had four costly turnovers that the Trail Blazers paid for them in the end. Damian Lillard could n't quite get it going on offense, as he scored 18 points on 5 - for - 16 shooting with seven points coming from the free throw line. He also only managed to dish out one assist from the point guard position in 40 minutes, after recording just three as in game one. The Blazers will try and take game three at home in Portland on Saturday.
