Notebook: Grizzlies 104, Clippers 83

Leave a comment

THE FACTS: Four games into the series, it’s dead even between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Los Angeles Clippers. The Grizzlies’ big men dominated the Clippers inside for a second straight game Saturday as Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol scored 24 points apiece to lead Memphis to a 104-83 Game 4 victory that tied the series at 2-2. The Clippers got 19 apiece from Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, but were held to just 33 percent shooting in a second half that saw them outscored 58-36 before a sellout crowd of 18,119 at FedExForum. Memphis also got 15 apiece from starters Tayshaun Prince and Mike Conley in its highest-scoring offensive performance of the series.

THE FACTS: This one was not close, unfortunately for Chris Paul and the Clippers. Collectively, they had little or no trouble with the Sixers on Wednesday night en route to a 101-72 victory at Staples Center. Had the game been a bit more competitive, Paul’s stats would have been far more impressive.
