Grizzlies-Bulls Preview

If a difficult stretch of games wasn't challenging enough on its own, the Chicago Bulls are also enduring a wave of injuries.

Joakim Noah begins what's expected to be a three-week hiatus Thursday night, when the Bulls could also be without leading scorers Derrick Rose and Luol Deng against the Memphis Grizzlies, winners of a franchise-record five straight on the road.

The Bulls (31-29) face seven teams with winning records in their next eight games including three division leaders - Dallas, Orlando and Cleveland.

Noah missed seven games in February due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot, and may have returned too soon. After limited production in his first three games back, he grabbed 11 rebounds in 27 minutes of Friday night's 115-111 overtime win over Portland. However, he didn't travel with the team for a 100-90 loss at Indiana the following night and also sat out a 116-92 defeat to Atlanta on Monday to open a four-game homestand.

The Bulls announced Wednesday that Noah, averaging a career-best 10.7 points and 11.4 rebounds this season, will miss at least 10 more games.

"It's a very difficult injury," coach Vinny Del Negro said. "It's very difficult to treat. He might rest for three weeks. He might rest for two months, come back and it's still bothering him. Rest will help usually, no question, but he's got to come back, fight through the pain. Give him a few weeks (and) hopefully, he reacts better to that."

Deng and Rose - the team's top two scorers - also sat out contact drills Wednesday with ailing knees, and their statuses are uncertain for this contest. Deng did not play in the loss to the Hawks, while Rose scored a team-high 24 points - his fifth straight game with at least 20 - despite being limited by injury.

Rose, who'd injured his left knee in another collision Saturday, missed most of the first quarter after his right knee collided with Atlanta's Mike Bibby.

"It's a long season, and we go through the peaks and valleys," Del Negro told the Bulls' official Web site. "We just need to find a way to get guys healthy."

Whichever Bulls are healthy enough to play will face a Memphis team that's alternated wins and losses in its last nine games in odd fashion, with all the victories coming on the road and the losses occurring at home. The Grizzlies (31-30) haven't lost on the road since a 109-102 defeat to Minnesota on Feb. 6.

In Wednesday night's 104-100 victory in New Orleans, Mike Conley had a season-high 26 points and five steals, while Zach Randolph tallied 23 points and 11 rebounds for his 42nd double-double of the season to match Shareef Abdur-Rahim's franchise record.

"I knew some nights we have players that are off and tonight might be my night to help pick up the team in scoring," Conley said. "I realized that, so I just tried to be aggressive and keep trying to score."

The Bulls have won their last five meetings with the Grizzlies (31-30) at the United Center, and the home team has taken the last nine games in this series. They'll play again March 16 in Memphis.

Randolph's big game drives Grizzlies to 6th road win in row

CHICAGO (NBA.com exclusive) -- The Memphis Grizzlies might have been road-weary, but that didn't stop them from recording their sixth straight road win Thursday with a 105-96 win over the Chicago Bulls.

Zach Randolph, taking advantage of the Bulls' complete lack of an inside game, scored 31 points and grabbed 18 rebounds and the Grizzlies came back from a 16-point first quarter deficit to take command in the fourth quarter.

"Zach just had a great game all around,'' Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said. "We had our energy pick up in the second quarter and focused better. We were able to get out and run on them."

All five Memphis starters scored in double figures while the bench provided just 11 points and six rebounds in the second game of a back-to-back road trip. O.J. Mayo had 20 points and nine rebounds, Rudy Gay had 17 points and Mike Conley had 14 points and eight assists.

Luol Deng had 23 points for the Bulls, who have lost three straight since losing the services of center Joakim Noah to plantar fasciitis. Deng, Derrick Rose, Kirk Hinrich and Brad Miller, four of the Bulls' starters, missed practice this week to rest knee injuries, but they all played Thursday.

Derrick Rose added 20 points for the Bulls (31-30).

The Bulls led by as much as 16 points in the first quarter as the Grizzlies (32-30) had to find their legs after getting into Chicago at 2 a.m. Thursday morning from New Orleans. Randolph kept the Grizzlies in the game early with 14 points and eight rebounds in the first quarter.

The Bulls led 47-30 halfway through the second quarter but then they stopped going inside to score and Randolph, Gay and Mayo took control of the game.

"They weathered the storm in the first half,'' Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro said.

"Coach told us if we wanted a chance to win we had to cut the (17-point lead) to 10 by halftime,'' Mayo said. "It worked. We played hard, forced turnovers and started to make our shots.'

The Grizzlies did not complete their comeback until Mayo scored on a jumper with 8:30 left in the game to tie the contest at 85. But from that point, the Bulls had nothing offensively or defensively to stop the charging Grizzlies. With the score tied at 90 with 4:35 left, Marc Gasol completed a three-point play off a beautiful pass from Conley, then on the next possession Gasol scored again off a feed from Mayo and the Grizzlies had a sudden 95-90 lead.

Mayo scored the game's next basket while the Bulls went almost three minutes without a point.

In the final two minutes, with the Bulls now trying their own comeback, the Grizzlies led 99-94 when Conley missed a long jumper but Gasol tapped the rebound out to Mayo for one of Memphis's 13 offensive rebounds. The Bulls had trouble even getting their hands on the ball in the final five minutes of the game.

"We have to find ways to get loose balls and rebound the ball,'' Del Negro said. "The extra possessions really hurt us."

"We were just more aggressive late in the game,'' Conley said.

After shooting very poorly in the first quarter the Grizzlies ended the game shooting 53 percent (40 for 76) for the game. They also outrebounded the Bulls 46-31 and outscored the home team from the free throw line 23-19.

The Bulls have been outrebounded by 41 in their last two games.

Miller tried to do his best to fill in for Noah Thursday, scoring 14 points with seven rebounds. But the Bulls' bench, like Memphis', offered little assistance, with 18 points on 5-for-18 shooting.

The Bulls offered no excuses for the loss.

"Giving up a big lead doesn't have anything to do with injuries,'' Hinrich said. "It is the mindset you have to have to not let that happen."

"We just didn't make the shots we usually make,'' Rose said.

Del Negro, who has been very careful in his postgame comments not to criticize his team too much, was definitive in his postgame wrap-up Thursday.

"Everyone was forcing it a bit, not just Derrick and I don't think it was for selfish reasons,'' Del Negro said. "It was just that guys were trying to make plays and help each other out. But that is not the way we're built. It's not the way we win games. We have to share the ball better and we need better bench production.

"We are an up-tempo, jump shooting team,'' he said. "We don't have a lot of post-up guys, when you settle for jump shots they are going to go in and out some time.'
