Grizzlies too tall for Bucks; Foye leads Jazz over Lakers

MEMPHIS, Tenn: Zach Randolph and the Memphis Grizzlies did their damage down low.
Randolph had 18 points and 13 rebounds, and Memphis shot 53 percent from the floor in a 108-90 victory over the undersized Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night at the Bradley Center.
“We felt that our big guys were a lot bigger than their frontcourt,” Grizzlies guard Mike Conley said. “We wanted to try to bang them inside and get low to get position and get easy buckets and head to the free throw line.” Rudy Gay added 17 points and Marreese Speights contributed 16 off the bench to help Memphis win its third straight after a season-opening loss. Marc Gasol had 14 points and nine rebounds.
“Gasol is so smart, once he gets to the top of the key, he’s able to make passes and shoot the jumper,” Bucks guard Brandon Jennings said. “If he doesn’t have anything, he’s just moving it. And Randolph down there is just a beast.” Milwaukee, which was looking to start 3-0 for the first time since the 2005-06 season, shot just 38.5 percent from the field.
