Grizzlies finish road trip in the desert vs. Suns
Basketball Betting Lines
01/28/2012 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Memphis Grizzlies hope to finish a four-game road trip
on a winning note Saturday when they pay a visit to the struggling Phoenix Suns.
The Grizzlies started their trek in a positive fashion, winning at Golden
State before dropping a pair to Portland and the LA Clippers.
Most recently Rudy Gay had 24 points to pace Memphis in LA on Thursday. The
Grizz made it competitive despite being down 16 points in the first quarter
but eventually fell for the second straight time on the heels of a seven-game
winning streak.
Marc Gasol logged 16 points, 11 rebounds and six assists for the Grizzlies,
while Tony Allen and O.J. Mayo had 14 points apiece.
"We couldn't get any stops down the stretch," Memphis head coach Lionel
Hollins said.
The Suns, meanwhile, dropped their third straight in Portland on Friday,
getting routed by the Trail Blazers 109-71. LaMarcus Aldridge scored 23 points
in that one as Portland dominated the middle two quarters en rote to avenging
a 102-77 loss at Phoenix on Jan. 6.
Grant Hill scored 12 for Phoenix, which shot 37 percent from the field.
Sebastian Telfair added 10 points in Phoenix's eight setback in 10 games.
"We can't score nine points and it's happened quite a bit now," Suns coach
Alvin Gentry said of the horrid second quarter. "I've got to make some
adjustments some kind of way where we can at least keep the game level when
we're in it in the second quarter."
The Suns have also lost three in a row in the desert, their longest slide at
home since a five-game hiccup from March 6-19, 2004.
Phoenix has dropped two of its last three at home to Memphis but overall the
Grizz have won in just six of their 31 trips to the Valley of the Sun.
