The Memphis Grizzlies (42 - 36) left the Chicago Bulls (39 - 39) barely clinging to their playoff dreams, beating them 108 - 92 on Tuesday. Memphis is left jockeying with Portland for the fifth seed in the West, holding just a single - game lead after Tuesday's win. Injuries to star center Marc Gasol and point guard Mario Chalmers have left the team, once slated as a Western Conference contender, decimated and struggling to close out the season. Veteran Zach Randolph took matters into his own hands on Tuesday, however, going for 27 points and 10 rebounds en route to the big win. All-Defense team guard Tony Allen, meanwhile, showed off his lockdown skills on the perimter by stealing the ball four times. The team forced 20 turnovers as a whole in what was a solid defensive outing. The Bulls, meanwhile, look as though they may miss the playoffs for the first time since 2007 - 8. With four games remaining, including matchups against the Heat and Cavaliers, and a 3 game deficit to overcome, the Bulls may find themselves on the outside of the postseason looking in. Tuesday's double - digit beatdown did not instill confidence for the squad, as turnovers and free - throw shooting both looked weak in Memphis. Hitting just 68 percent of shots from the line, the Bulls struggled mightily at the charity stripe. All-Star Jimmy Butler was reduced to a non - factor by veteran defensive specialist Tony Allen. Butler scored just five points on the night. The Bulls face a make - or - break matchup on Thursday in Miami. Memphis, meanwhile, will travel to take on Dallas on Friday.
