NEW ORLEANS - It's a game of runs, and this contest was no exception. The Grizzlies came out on top over the Pelicans 102-93 in a hard-fought battle of two teams going in opposite directions. These two teams figure to be battling for a low seed in the Western Conference. After tonight, the Grizzlies have won 5 in a row and 12 of their last 14, while the Pelicans have now lost 8 of their last 9.

The Grizzlies got out to a 9 point lead at halftime after outscoring the Pelicans by 13 in the second quarter, but the Pelicans made it all right back in the third quarter. New Orleans outscored Memphis by 12 in the third, giving them a 3 point lead heading into the final quarter. In the fourth, however, the Grizzlies came out on top, en route to a 9 point win.

The game was much closer than the scoreboard shows. Marc Gasol was fouled and made both free throws with 40 seconds left to put the Grizzlies up by 4 and they didn't look back from there. Gasol finished with 25 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 blocks. Mike Conley once again netted a double digit assist night, finishing with 15 points and 16 assists in what was one of the more balanced scoring efforts from the Grizzlies.

Note: Brandan Wright made a three pointer in this game. This is the first of his career. His 3 point rating is a 26.
