Memphis (17-10) at Portland (10-18) 10:00 pm EST

PORTLAND, Oregon (Ticker) -- In addition to their stingy defense, the Memphis Grizzlies have shown a knack for not backing down.

The Grizzlies look for their fourth victory in five contests Friday when they continue their four-game western road trip against the Portland Trail Blazers.

The league's top defensive team, Memphis rallied from a 10-point deficit to win for the second time in 20 road meetings against the Los Angeles Lakers in Wednesday's 100-99 overtime triumph.

Damon Stoudamire scored 25 points and Pau Gasol added 24 and 13 rebounds for the Grizzlies, who never led in regulation and never trailed in overtime. Memphis held the Lakers to 34 points in the second half and 11 points in the extra period.

Memphis persevered despite having Mike Miller and Shane Battier foul out and Eddie Jones ejected in the fourth quarter for arguing.

Portland can record its first four-game winning streak of the season after Wednesday's 95-91 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. Zach Randolph led the Trail Blazers with 28 points and 14 rebounds.

Despite recent improvements, Portland is still dealing with injuries. Sebastian Telfair has missed six games with a sprained thumb, Joel Pryzbilla sat out with a sore knee and Darius Miles continues to recover from knee surgery.

After Portland won the initial meeting against Memphis on November 22, the Grizzlies evened the season series with an 89-79 victory on December 21. Gasol had 26 points and 12 rebounds.
