Owner Real Deal Posted February 11, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Strong play by the Memphis reserves early in the fourth period gave the Grizzlies a burst of energy down the stretch. The Memphis bench stayed even with the Indiana Pacers during the early stages of the final period, giving the Grizzlies starters the extra stamina for a 98-92 victory on Friday. Rudy Gay scored 21 points, while Marreese Speights added a season-high 19 points and nine rebounds to lead the Grizzlies. But the postgame accolades went to the Memphis reserves. Mike Conley, who along with Marc Gasol had 15 points apiece, said the bench play gave the Memphis starters better legs as they pulled away at the end. "They let me and Marc rest until basically the five-minute mark of the fourth quarter," Conley said. "They actually extended the lead when they were out there. That's what we need out of them. When you have that kind of output from the bench, that makes it easier on the starters coming in to sustain that lead." O.J. Mayo added 13 points for Memphis, which won its second straight. David West led the Pacers with 22 points on 8 of 13 shooting from the field and 13 rebounds. Danny Granger had 19 points, and Dahntay Jones added 10 as a reserve, primarily on 7 of 8 from the free throw line.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20120210_IND@MEM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
