The Memphis Grizzlies (53 - 25) defeated the New Orleans Pelicans (42 - 36) 110 - 74 on Wednesday in Memphis. The Grizzlies put on a clinic Wednesday night, shooting 51 percent from the field and 47 percent from three. Four of their five starters scored in double figures with Zach Randolph leading the way. Randolph scored 15 points (6 - 13 FG), grabbed 13 rebounds and dished out six assists in 30 minutes of play. Both Jeff Green and Marc Gasol added 15 points for Memphis, with Gasol adding eight rebounds and six assists in his effort as well. Mike Conley was the fourth Grizzlies' starter to reach double figures, putting up 10 points (4 - 9 FG, 2 - 3 3Pt) and four assists in 33 minutes. Memphis got plenty of production off the bench, with Beno Udrih scoring 14 points in 19 minutes, while Vince Carter reached 10 points in 18 minutes. In total, the Grizzlies had 47 points scored from their bench. The win brings Memphis tied with the Rockets for second place in the Western Conference playoff hunt, and it looks as though it will be between those two teams for that position. The Pelicans had a bit of an emotional hangover, as after defeating the NBA-best Golden State Warriors on Tuesday, they laid an egg against the Grizzlies. No one on New Orleans played well, with their best performance being Anthony Davis' 12 points (5 - 9 FG) and five rebounds in 28 minutes. Tyreke Evans (10) and Quincy Pondexter (11) were the only other players for the Pelicans who scored in double figures. Ryan Anderson epitomized the Pelicans' effort, going 0 - for - 6 from the field and scoring zero points in 13 minutes off the bench. As a team, they had just 13 assists to 12 turnovers and shot a poor 35 percent from the field on the night. The loss moves them back into a tie with the Oklahoma City Thunder for the eighth and final playoff spot in the West, but New Orleans currently holds the tiebreaker. Up next, the Grizzlies will head to Utah on Friday to take on the Jazz, while the Pelicans head home Friday and will play the Suns.
