MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- The New Orleans Hornets' reserves did everything they could to overcome a 17-point deficit.

 

Though they got close, the Memphis Grizzlies' lead was just too much to erase.

 

Rudy Gay scored 23 points, Marc Gasol added 20 points and 11 rebounds, and Memphis beat New Orleans 108-99 Saturday night.

 

Memphis needed a flurry down the stretch to put the game away after holding a comfortable lead in the third period.

 

"We opened up a 17-point lead, and then they changed lineups and went a bit smaller," Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said. "Next thing you know, it's a two-point game.

 

"Fortunately for us, we made some big plays."

 

Mike Conley had 17 points and seven assists, while Marreese Speights and Tony Allen finished with 12 points apiece.

 

Jarrett Jack led New Orleans with 23 points, while Jason Smith had 15, including 10 in the fourth quarter as the Hornets chipped away at the lead. Greivis Vasquez scored 14 points and handed out six assists. Marco Belinelli contributed 10 points.
