MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- New Orleans reserve Ryan Anderson is quite the matchup problem. Memphis' scouting report on the 6-foot-10 forward said to treat him like a shooting guard.

 

The Grizzlies had the right approach, but they still couldn't stop him.

 

Anderson scored 22 points, connecting on seven 3-pointers, and New Orleans beat Memphis 91-83 on Sunday.

 

Anderson was 7 of 13 from the field, all of his attempts coming from outside the arc. He capped a late Hornets surge with a big shot that helped secure the victory.

 

"He was huge for us," said point guard Greivis Vasquez, who finished with 11 assists. "This man is an underrated shooter. People don't give him enough credit. This guy can shoot."

 

Fellow reserve Jason Smith was 5 of 7 from the field for 16 points, and Anthony Davis was the only New Orleans starter to finish in double figures with 10 points.

 

Zach Randolph led Memphis with 20 points and 13 rebounds for his league-leading 28th double-double. Marc Gasol had 14 points and 11 boards, and Jerryd Bayless also scored 14. Rudy Gay had 10 points, but was 3 for 17 from the field, including a 1-of-7 performance from long range.

 

"Just taking too many jump shots," Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said of Gay's off night. "Wasn't just him, but in the first quarter when he had the chance, we just took a lot of jump shots. Took a lot of jump shots, and we stopped making them."
