Published by MoonDog on December 15, 2008
O.J. Mayo led Memphis with 28 points in the Grizzlies 102-86 win over Miami
Memphis used a strong defensive effort in the second half, turning a tie game at halftime into a double-digit win with a 102-86 victory over the Miami Heat on Sunday.
The Grizzlies won their fourth straight game, the longest winning streak since the team won five straight during the 2005-06 season. The Grizzlies put the clamps on the Heat during the decisive third quarter, outscoring Miami 35-20 to break open the game.
Rookie O.J. Mayo lead Memphis with 28 points and Rudy Gay added 18. Darko Milicic matched his season high with 13 points, and Mike Conley came off the bench to add 12 for the Grizzlies.
Memphis has scored at least 100 points in each of their four wins during the streak and they’ve stepped up the defensive pressure as well. The Grizzlies held Miami’s Dwayne Wade to 5-of-16 from the field and limited the Heat to 36 percent from the field.
Memphis shot 65 percent in the third and closed the quarter with a 12-2 run to take a 15-point lead at 81-66. The Grizzlies would build the lead to 19 points with 1:52 left in the game.
The Grizzlies will be looking to extend their streak to five games when they face the New Orleans Hornets on Tuesday night in Memphis.
