Recap: Memphis vs. Denver

Zach Randolph had a huge game with 32 points and a career-best 24 rebounds, as the Memphis Grizzlies got by the Denver Nuggets, 102-96, at FedEx Forum.

Rudy Gay added 19 points and Marc Gasol finished with 14 points and 13 rebounds for the Grizzlies, who defeated Indiana 107-94 on Friday and have split their last six overall. O.J. Mayo and Mike Conley each ended with 11 points.

Duncan leads Spurs to 104-97 win over Grizzlies

Tim Duncan scored 19 points, and Manu Ginobili and Roger Mason led a strong effort by the Spurs' reserves as San Antonio held off the Memphis Grizzlies 104-97 on Friday night.

Playing without injured guard Tony Parker, the Spurs' depth was a huge factor. San Antonio had a 42-21 edge in points off the bench. Mason scored 12 of his 17 points in the fourth quarter and Ginobili finished with 14 points and seven assists.

The Grizzlies came in having won three straight and six of seven, including a 92-86 victory over the Spurs 13 days ago in Memphis, to move a game behind San Antonio for second place in the Southwest Division.

Recap: Memphis vs. Minnesota

Rudy Gay and O.J. Mayo each scored 19 points, and the Memphis Grizzlies snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 97-87 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves at FedExForum.

Marc Gasol added 17 points and 16 rebounds for the Grizzlies, who recorded their first win within the Western Conference in eight tries. Rookie Sam Young had 15 points -- his first double-digit performance -- and Mike Conley added 10 points and seven assists in the win.

"Now we've got the feeling what it takes to win games, we've got to try and mimic that every night," said Conley. "We have to be able to come out with the same intensity and be able to play the second half like we do the first half. We normally play very well coming out of the gates, so if we can do that we have a lot of chances to get a lot of wins."

Memphis Grizzlies (1-2) at Sacramento Kings (0-3), 10 p.m.

After sitting out his club's first three games, future Hall of Famer Allen Iverson is expected to make his Memphis debut tonight as the Grizzlies hope to keep a young Sacramento Kings team winless.

Iverson, who has been sitting with a partially torn left hamstring, is expected to team with second-year standout O.J. Mayo and Mike Conley Jr. to give coach Lionel Hollins a talented three-man guard rotation.

The Grizz opened up a five-game west coast road swing on a losing note Sunday when Denver's Carmelo Anthony ended with 42 points and seven rebounds, as the Nuggets out-gunned Memphis, 133-123, to stay undefeated. Anthony recorded his second consecutive 40-point game for the Nuggets, who moved to 3-0 this season.
