Owner Real Deal Posted February 3, 2011 Author Owner Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 MINNEAPOLIS -- Midway through the fourth quarter, Zach Randolph bulled his way to a rebound and accidentally loosened Kevin Love's tooth with a meaty elbow to Love's jaw. It was the literal example of what Randolph had been doing metaphorically to Love all night long. Randolph had 23 points and 13 boards and Rudy Gay had 22 points, seven assists and seven rebounds to lead the Memphis Grizzlies to a 102-84 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night. Sam Young scored 18 points and the Grizzlies dominated the league's best rebounding team on the boards, 47-38, to win their fourth straight game. "I took it as a little challenge to come out and play good," Randolph said of his matchup with Love, the league's top rebounder. "Kevin is having a tremendous year. When I was in Portland, he was watching me, grew up looking up to me. It was an important win. The young fella's got a lot of talent, plays hard and has a great work ethic." And the Timberwolves (11-37) have a long way to go. Michael Beasley scored 19 points and Love had just 10 points and 10 rebounds, narrowly getting his 34th straight double-double. Love is hoping to make the Western Conference All-Star team, but he was thoroughly outplayed by Randolph, one of his primary competitors for a spot.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20110202_MEM@MIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
