The Memphis Grizzlies (18 - 4) defeated the Charlotte Hornets (6 - 16) 113 - 107 in double overtime Friday. Memphis has a three - game winning streak going. They held the Hornets to just 42 percent shooting from the field Friday, but the Grizzlies also turned the ball over 20 times, giving up 22 easy points off those turnovers, which allowed the Hornets to stay in the game and push the contest to two extra periods. Zach Randolph scored a team - high 20 points and pulled down 11 rebounds for a double - double. Memphis should have an easier night Saturday when they take on the experience - challenged Philadelphia 76ers on the road. Charlotte had their two - game win streak snapped with the loss Friday, but the fact that they've started to compete on a nightly basis is a positive for the Hornets after their prolonged struggle to start the season. Kemba Walker scored a game - high 28 points and was aided by Gary Neal's 25 points off the bench. Al Jefferson nearly recorded a double - double, putting up 16 points and nine rebounds. The Hornets will have a lighter opponent Saturday when they host the Brooklyn Nets, but it'll be interesting to see if they'll have their legs after playing the extra minutes Friday.
