Grizzlies crush Nuggets
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 31 - 01 - 2015

MEMPHIS, Tennessee — Zach Randolph posted his 11th consecutive double-double with 15 points and 17 rebounds to lead the Memphis Grizzlies to a 99-69 victory over the Denver Nuggets Thursday.
The Grizzlies (34-12) earned their ninth win in 10 games overall and their seventh in their past eight home games.
Randolph, averaging 17 points and 12 rebounds since returning from a right knee injury on Jan. 9, did not play in the fourth quarter.
The Grizzlies rested their starters after ending the third with a 25-point lead.
The win helped Memphis open a small gap at the top of the NBA's Southwest Division. The Grizzlies moved two games clear of Houston, which beat Dallas Wednesday.
Bucks 115, Magic 100
Jerryd Bayless scored 19 points in 20 minutes, leading the well-balanced Milwaukee Bucks to a 115-100 victory over the Orlando Magic.
The Bucks (24-22) had seven players score in double figures while snapping a 17-game losing streak in Orlando. The Magic (15-34) lost their seventh consecutive game.
Milwaukee's John Henson, in his first start of the season, finished with 12 points and 11 rebounds.
Pacers 103, Knicks 82
Indiana, which had lost its last three home games, scored a combined 67 points during the second and third quarters on its way to a 103-82 victory over the New York Knicks.
The Pacers (17-31) caught fire in the middle quarters to outscore New York by 35 during that 24-minute window.
Rodney Stuckey led Indiana with 22 points while Roy Hibbert added 18 points and 10 rebounds.
Carmelo Anthony had 18 and Lou Amundson added 17 for the Knicks (9-38), who are an NBA-worst 3-21 on the road.
Lakers 123, Bulls 118 (2OT)
Jordan Hill scored 26 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, and the Los Angeles Lakers halted a nine-game losing skid with a thrilling double-overtime victory over the Chicago Bulls.
Wayne Ellington added 23 points as the Lakers (13-34) avoided matching the 1993-94 club for the franchise's worst losing run.
Jimmy Butler led Chicago (30-18) with 35 points, while forward Pau Gasol, in his first return to Los Angeles since he spurned the Lakers to sign as a free agent with Chicago, had 20 points, 10 rebounds and six assists.
Gasol received a standing ovation and a video tribute prior to the contest.
Durant, Thompson in all-star game
Reigning MVP Kevin Durant and first time all star Klay Thompson were selected to the NBA all-star game as reserve players, the league announced Thursday.
Durant has only played in 21 of Oklahoma City's 46 games while dealing with foot and toe injuries.
Golden State Warriors sharpshooter Thompson will be making his first appearance.
There are plenty of familiar faces among the Western Conference reserves, including Durant's Thunder teammate Russell Westbrook, NBA scoring leader James Harden, of the Houston Rockets, and Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul.
But there were also several who were snubbed including Sacramento center DeMarcus Cousins and Portland point guard Damian Lillard.
The game will be held at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 15. — Agencies
