Raptors-Grizzlies Preview

The Memphis Grizzlies emerged from their holiday break by snapping a three-game losing streak. The Toronto Raptors hope to come back from their Christmas layoff by avoiding one.

That may be a difficult task Monday night in Memphis, where the Raptors have lost in six of their last seven visits.

The Grizzlies (13-17) had plenty of time to think about Tuesday's surprising 101-94 home loss to New Jersey, their third consecutive defeat before four days off.

They responded Sunday night with a 104-90 win at Indiana. After allowing opponents to shoot 50.6 percent during the skid, Memphis held the Pacers to 35.6 percent.

A resurgence from Rudy Gay also helped. The forward had gone 4 of 16 from the field against the Nets after he was suspended for the previous game following a flagrant foul, but he scored 30 points Sunday for the first time since doing it three times in the season's first seven games.

"We have to have something to build on, and (Sunday) was something we could build on," Gay said. "We got good shots and got our big men involved. It was one of those games where we can look back on it and say this is the blueprint."

Zach Randolph had 18 points and 16 rebounds for his third straight double-double and 18th this season - fifth-most in the NBA and more than Toronto's entire team.

Randolph averaged 27.0 points during Memphis' two-game sweep of the Raptors last season. The Grizzlies have won three straight and 11 of 15 versus Toronto, which is 2-7 in Memphis since the Grizzlies moved from Vancouver.

The Raptors (10-19) hope some time off will help them avoid a third consecutive loss. They've been dealing with injuries to two of their most important players, with Andrea Bargnani and Jose Calderon both missing time this month.

Bargnani returned to the lineup Wednesday against Detroit after missing two of the previous three games due to a sore right ankle, but was 6 of 17 from the field with two rebounds in a 115-93 home loss. He's averaging 10.5 points while shooting 26.0 percent in four career visits to Memphis.

Calderon has averaged 13.0 assists in three games since returning from a foot problem, but despite notching 13 against the Pistons, he was held to five points, shot 1 of 6 and posted a career high with eight turnovers.

"Our best players have been banged up a little bit, Jose and Andrea, and they both had horrible games," coach Jay Triano said.

Leandro Barbosa was a bright spot Wednesday, scoring a team-high 21 points off the bench. The guard has topped 20 four times in his last seven games after doing so once in his first 16 contests with Toronto.

Linas Kleiza, who has battled a sore Achilles' tendon lately, contributed 19 points against Detroit and is averaging 21.0 while starting the Raptors' last three games.

Grizzlies beat Raptors after slow start

Posted Dec 28 2010 12:07AM

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) After a stagnant quarter and a half, Zach Randolph and the Memphis Grizzlies finally woke up - just as he said they would.

Randolph scored 15 of his 21 points in the second half as Memphis overcame an early 12-point deficit to beat the short-handed Toronto Raptors 96-85 on Monday night.

Rudy Gay added 18 for Memphis, which won its second straight. Tony Allen had 14 points and a season-high six steals, part of 15 Memphis steals on the night. Allen also had eight rebounds, also a season high.

"Tony came in and brought the defensive effort," Gay said. "He got a lot of steals, and, of course, steals start fast breaks. When we have teams play on their heels like that, it's easier for us to get into them."

Mike Conley and O.J. Mayo had 12 points apiece.

Linas Kleiza led the Raptors with 22 points on 10-of-16 shooting. DeMar DeRozan finished with 18 points. Jose Calderon had 13 and Leandro Barbosa scored 11.

Joey Dorsey finished with 10 points and 13 rebounds for the Raptors, who lost their third straight and fifth in the last six.

Dorsey said he had a feeling Randolph would awaken in the second half. In fact, the veteran warned Dorsey of that.

"The first half we had him scoreless, and he told me: 'You know I'm coming at you every time I get the ball,"' Dorsey said of the halftime chat between the two. "So, the second half he came at us. He did work."

Dorsey was in the starting lineup because the Raptors were without their leading scorer (Andrea Bargnani, 21.2 points), their leading rebounder (Reggie Evans, 12.1) and starter Sonny Weems. Add Peja Stojakovic to the wounded, and Toronto pieced together a squad with no player taller than 6-foot-10 forward Ed Davis, except for seldom-used, 7-1 rookie Solomon Alabi.

The makeshift lineup helped contribute to a season-high 25 Toronto turnovers.

"The offense is just out of sync when you are missing your main guy and everything went through him before," Kleiza said of Bargnani, who was nursing a strained left calf. "You're trying to figure out how to play without him, and maybe that's why we had so many turnovers."

Toronto, which hadn't played since Wednesday, looked fresher early than the Grizzlies, who won in Indianapolis on Sunday night. While Toronto couldn't maintain its early shooting accuracy, the Raptors had more energy than Memphis, building a 12-point lead in the first quarter.

The Grizzlies, who lead the league in forced turnovers at 17.3 per game, finally got going behind their defense, forcing Toronto miscues that led to fast-break baskets in the second quarter. That fueled a 16-3 run that erased the Toronto lead.

"They picked up their intensity after the first quarter," Raptors coach Jay Triano said. "They forced some deflections and got us some more turnovers."

The rally helped Memphis carry a 48-44 lead into the locker room after Calderon's 3-pointer as the horn sounded.

Memphis' lead reached double digits before 3 minutes were gone in the second half. Randolph, who was held to six points at the break, added eight points during the opening minutes of the third quarter, living up to his halftime promise to Dorsey.

"Zach, coming down the stretch was outstanding," Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said. "We played off Zach very well, and everybody was playing their role, and doing what they needed to do."

The Grizzlies outscored the Raptors 32-20 in the second period and 29-19 in the third to carry a 77-63 lead into the final period.

The lead was 16 early in the fourth before the Raptors got within 83-77 near the midway point of the period. Consecutive baskets by Randolph extended the margin back to double digits, part of a 12-2 run that put the game out of reach.

Allen said the play in the last two wins over Indiana and Toronto is a matter of playing team ball and understanding that defense is the key for Memphis to get out on the break.

"We've got to be able to do it consistently," Allen said. "We get these teams that we're supposed to beat, and we tend to go to our individual thing.

"We have to keep the mindset that we're a team, play inside-out basketball, and that's how we're going to win."

NOTES: Evidence of how bad the Raptors' injury situation has been: Only Amir Johnson and DeMar DeRozan have played in all 13 games in December. Dorsey played collegiately at the University of Memphis and still gets a warm welcome when he returns, earning a rousing cheer when he was announced in the starting lineup. It was Dorsey's second start of the season. Toronto has not won in five road games against the Western Conference. Sam Young started at G for Memphis, replacing rookie Xavier Henry, who is dealing with some knee issues. Henry was active for the game, but did not play. Gay had five steals, matching his career high. He also had five against the Pacers on Sunday night.

Raptors-Grizzlies notebook

THE FACTS: After falling behind by 12 to the injury-riddled Toronto Raptors, the Memphis Grizzlies turned to their defense for a much-need jumpstart in the second quarter, one that carried them to a 96-85 win at FedExForum. The Grizzlies got a combined 11 steals from Tony Allen and Rudy Gay.

QUOTABLE: "I haven't been told specifically what to do, when to do, how to do. I just come in and play my game. This is my seventh year in the league and I'm just coming in every moment I get to try to bring energy and cause havoc the best I can."
-- Grizzlies guard Tony Allen, who had a season-high six steals to go along with 14 points and eight rebounds off the bench.

THE STAT: The Raptors only got to the free-throw line 14 times, but even then, they failed to take advantage. Toronto missed nine of 14 free throws (35.7 percent), the biggest culprit being starting center Joey Dorsey, who was 0-for-5. Conversely, the Grizzlies shot 82 percent from the free throw line, making 23-for-28.

TURNING POINT: With Gay and Allen getting into the lanes and picking off passes in the second quarter, the Grizzlies were able to get out in the open court, using a 10-0 run to take their first lead of the game at 36-34 in second quarter. That defensive prowess continued throughout the game as the Grizzlies forced Toronto into a season-high 25 turnovers which led to 28 points.

HOT: Making his second start of the season and in his career, Dorsey managed to score 10 points, haul in career-high tying 13 rebounds and even dish out three assists for the Raptors. It was the second double-double of the season for the former University of Memphis fan favorite.

QUOTABLE II: "It felt really good to be playing again. I haven't really had the chance yet. Coach Jay (Triano) has given me the chance of a lifetime to go out there and do what I love to do and play basketball. Anytime I step onto the floor, I am going to try to give 110 percent."
-- Toronto center Joey Dorsey.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: Gay is starting to fill up the stat sheet on a nightly basis with his all-around play. Against the Raptors, he tallied 18 points to go along with a career-high tying six assists, five rebounds and five steals.

GOOD MOVE: In the second half, Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins decided to forego using backup point guard Greivis Vasquez. Instead, he went with a backcourt of O.J. Mayo and Allen, who along with Gay managed to share the ballhandling duties. Hollins said it was because he liked the defensive matchups those three provided, particularly with the way Gay and Allen were racking up steals.

INSIDE THE ARENA: Among the 14,971 on hand Monday night were the University of Georgia and University of Central Florida football teams. Both are in town to participate in Friday's AutoZone Liberty Bowl.

NOTABLE: For the second consecutive night, Gay tied his career high with five steals, this time doing it all in the first half. Ironically, the other two times Gay managed to have five steals, he did it on consecutive nights (March 3-4, 2010). The Grizzlies are not 4-0 in those games. ... The Raptors were playing without Andrea Bargnani, Reggie Evans, Peja Stojakovic and Sonny Weems. .... Grizzlies rookie guard Xavier Henry did not start due to a bruised knee. He is listed day-to-day.

UP NEXT: For the Raptors, Tuesday at Dallas, Friday at Houston, Sunday vs. Boston. For the Grizzlies, Wednesday at Sacramento, Saturday at Utah, Sunday at L.A. Lakers.
