Celtics-Grizzlies Preview

Posted Mar 23 2013 1:27AM

The Memphis Grizzlies have won nine straight at home as they get ready to welcome a Boston Celtics team that has dropped three straight.

The Celtics, however, have won their last five visits to the FedEx Forum as they try to avoid being swept by the Grizzlies for the first time in 12 years Saturday night.

Both teams are seeking to bounce back from Friday road defeats. Memphis (46-22) fell 90-83 to New Orleans and Boston (36-32) lost 104-94 to Dallas.

The Grizzlies may have a better chance to recover because they are enjoying their longest run at home since winning their final 11 contests in Memphis last season.

The Celtics did not visit in 2011-12, and they haven't lost there since a 93-76 defeat March 14, 2006. It has been even longer since they dropped two meetings with the Grizzlies in the same season, last doing so in 2000-01 when the franchise was based in Vancouver.

Memphis won 93-83 at Boston on Jan. 2 behind Mike Conley's 23 points and a 39-27 rebounding edge.

Both teams look different now since the Grizzlies traded away Rudy Gay on Jan. 30 in a deal that brought over Tayshaun Prince to add to a defensive-minded lineup that already includes former Boston guard Tony Allen.

Conley, meanwhile, won't have to match up at point guard against Rajon Rondo, who is out for the rest of the year with a torn ACL.

The Celtics backcourt got another blow Friday when starting guard Courtney Lee went down late in the game with a mild left ankle sprain. Lee, who is day to day, said the injury wasn't serious.

Memphis is hoping to duplicate its effort on the glass from the first meeting after being outrebounded 49-33 by the Hornets and outscored 48-38 in the paint.

"We were just not playing defensively and the game got away," center Marc Gasol said. "They did a great job of rebounding and we did not help on the drive and did not contest shots. They just had an open lane for rebounds."

Conley led Memphis with 20 points and Zach Randolph just missed his 40th double-double with 14 points and nine rebounds.

Three Celtics finished with 16 points apiece against the Mavericks, as Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Brandon Bass all reached that total. Jason Terry scored eight points on 3-of-9 shooting in his return to Dallas.

"He didn't play great tonight," Boston coach Doc Rivers said about Terry. "He played with a lot of spirit. I love him, still. I wish we could have won the game for him tonight. I really do."

Rivers and the Celtics said their defensive effort was lacking, as the Mavs shot 46.3 percent.

"I've always said we're a defensive team that can score the basketball and we've got to get back to our bread and butter," Garnett said.

The Celtics have won three straight games in the second halves of back-to-backs, improving to 9-8 in such contests. The Grizzlies are 9-6 in those games.

Boston has dropped four straight on the road, where it is 2-11 against Western Conference foes.

Bayless' 30 leads Grizzlies past Celtics, 110-106

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) The Memphis Grizzlies needed almost all of a 21-point fourth-quarter lead to survive a late push by Boston's reserves.

Jerryd Bayless scored a season-high 30 points and the Memphis Grizzlies weathered the rally to escape with a 110-106 victory over the Celtics on Saturday night.

"I was just able to make a couple of shots in the beginning and got it going," said Bayless, who had 20 points in the first half. "Mike (Conley) was looking for me, (Zach Randolph) was looking for me. A lot of guys got me some good shots, and I was able to knock them down."

Bayless led seven Memphis players in double figures and three recorded double-doubles. Darrell Arthur, starting for Randolph, scored 18 points, while Randolph had 15 points and 11 rebounds off the bench. Tayshaun Prince and Mike Conley had 12 points apiece, Conley adding 10 assists, Ed Davis scored 11 points, and Tony Allen added 10 points and 10 rebounds.

Conley also had four steals, while Davis blocked five shots, matching his career high.

Paul Pierce led Boston with 26 points, while Jordan Crawford keyed a fourth-quarter rally, scoring 14 of his 21 points in the final frame. Jeff Green finished with 12 points, and Jason Terry had 10, as the Celtics lost their fourth straight.

"I think guys just didn't want to quit," Crawford said. "It was an opportunity for guys to play and try to make a run to win the game. . Everybody stepped up when other guys were down."

Both teams were without key players. Kevin Garnett and Courtney Lee sat out for Boston with left ankle sprains. Memphis center Marc Gasol is out indefinitely because of an abdominal tear.

"Obviously, we don't have any room for errors, especially when you have two starters out," Pierce said. "So we have to do a better job with turnovers. We have to rebound better."

The Celtics ended the night with 15 turnovers, leading to 21 Memphis points. Boston also was outrebounded, 44-37.

Randolph didn't start for disciplinary reasons, after arriving late for Saturday's shootaround.

Memphis led 98-77 with 7:16 to play after a 3-point play by Conley. Pierce had gone to the bench with his fifth foul, and Boston coach Doc Rivers had the reserves in, seemingly to play out the final minutes.

But the second-stringers began a push that pulled Boston within 104-102 after two free throws by Crawford with 18.9 seconds left.

The Celtics never got closer as Memphis converted all six of its free throws in the final 18.5 seconds.

"They were great," Rivers said of the bench. "We basically told them to go in and try to cause havoc, and they did that. I though Jordan was fantastic with his offense and with his passing."

Memphis, which led by 10 at the intermission, continued to extend the lead in the third, going up by 15 points on several occasions in the middle stages.

As is usually the case with the Grizzlies, defense led to offensive spurts and Memphis forced a handful of Boston turnovers while controlling the pace and eventually leading by 17.

But the Celtics were able to close the third with a bit of a push to trail 85-73 at the end of the period.

Memphis opened the fourth with a 14-4 rally, and the lead reached 21.

But the Celtics reserves weren't ready to give in. They mounted a 21-4 run to get within 102-98 after Crawford's long 3-pointer with 1:14 left in the game.

Memphis carried a 61-51 lead into halftime, led by Bayless, who was 8 of 12 from the field, including missing only one of three shots from beyond the arc.

"I thought that (Bayless) gave us a huge lift," Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said. "I mean, it was early on, and I didn't know how we were going to score. JB came in and started making shots and got on a roll and carried us in the first half."

After the third-quarter rally, Memphis seemed poised to relax down the stretch, and almost relaxed to the point of letting the game slip away.

"That's been our Achilles' heel the past couple of years," said Allen, who played six seasons with the Celtics. "We've got to fix that. We can't get too lax when we have a lead."

NOTES: Bayless got a technical in the second quarter when he fouled Crawford on a layup, then pushed him in an after-basket skirmish. ... Rivers got a technical foul in the fourth after Pierce was called for a double dribble. ... Boston had won five straight in Memphis, the Grizzlies' last home win in the series coming on March 14, 2006. ... Memphis swept the season series against Boston for the first time since the 2000-01 season, the team's last year in Vancouver. ... Memphis has won all four of its home sellouts this season, defeating the Heat, Thunder, Lakers and Celtics on Saturday night before full houses.

Notebook: Grizzlies 110, Celtics 106

Phil Stukenborg, for NBA.com
Posted Sun Mar 24, 2013 12:09 AM - Updated Sun Mar 24, 2013 12:09 AM

THE FACTS: Despite playing without injured starting center Marc Gasol, the Memphis Grizzlies won their 10th straight home game, a 110-106 victory over the Boston Celtics Saturday night at FedExForum. Reserve guard Jerryd Bayless led the Grizzlies with 30 points, one shy of his career high, to offset a 26-point effort by Paul Pierce of the Celtics, who were playing without injured starters Kevin Garnett and Courtney Lee. The Grizzlies led by 21 with 7:16 to go, but had to withstand a Celtics' rally that cut the margin to two points on three occasions in the game's final 20 seconds, the last at 108-106 with 8.3 seconds left.

QUOTABLE: "We had Tayshaun (Prince) start on him and then we went with Tony Allen. There was nobody else that could really guard him. (Quincy Pondexter) couldn't guard him in the few minutes he was on him. I was just trying to keep matchups tight and not let him just go crazy and he still had 26."
-- Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins on trying to defense Boston's Paul Pierce.

THE STAT: Seven of the eight Grizzlies Hollins used in his injury-shortened rotation scored in double figures and three -- Zach Randolph, Allen and Mike Conley -- finished with double-doubles. Darrell Arthur, who started in place of Gasol, nearly added a fourth double-double with 18 points and seven rebounds.

TURNING POINT: In a game that wasn't decided until the final seconds, it was Celtic forward Jeff Green's turnover with 2.7 seconds that sealed the win. Green dribbled the ball off his foot and out of bounds with 2.7 seconds left, four seconds after Conley made two free throws for a four-point lead.

GOOD MOVE: A technical foul Boston coach Doc Rivers drew early in the fourth quarter seemed to ignite the Celtics' comeback. Shortly after the technical, the Celtics put together a 25-6 run -- without Pierce - to nearly erase a 21-point Grizzlies lead.

BAD MOVE: With Gasol out with an abdominal tear, the Grizzlies didn't need to lose another starter. But All-Star forward Randolph was late to a pregame shootaround and coach Hollins did not start him. As a result, the Grizzlies quickly fell behind, 12-2.

HOT: The Grizzlies improved to 47-22 and the win total represents the third-most in franchise history. The Grizzlies are four wins shy of setting a record for most victories in a season (50 in 2003-04).

NOT: The Celtics lost their fourth straight and were swept by the Grizzlies in a season series for the first time in 12 years.

INSIDE THE ARENA: The Grizzlies shot 56 percent in the first half, a lofty percentage that didn't include a half-court, back-to-the-basket swish by the team's mascot, Grizz, during a timeout.

NOTABLE: Although he didn't start, Randolph recorded his 40th double-double of the season with 15 points and 11 rebounds. Allen finished with 10 points and 10 rebounds for the third double-double of his career.

UP NEXT: For the Grizzlies: Monday @ Wizards, Wednesday @ Knicks, Friday vs. Rockets. For the Celtics: Tuesday vs. Knicks, Wednesday @ Cavaliers, Friday vs. Hawks.
