They got offensive rebounds, steals and more possessions.On the shooting, Westbrook said: We just missed some open shots, and they got some offensive rebounds.The game was an intense affair similar to the playoff series featuring these teams in recent years. Play was physical and fast-paced.I knew coming in it was going to be like that, Randolph said.After the Grizzlies carried a 45-40 lead into halftime, Randolph began to make his presence felt in the third quarter.

Even when Steven Adams blocked his shot on one possession, Randolph gathered it in for a putback that pushed Memphis lead to double digits.Randolph had 14 points and three rebounds in the third, and when Memphis rattled off an 11-2 run to open the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies lead had reached its largest of the night and never dipped under 11 the rest of the way.We played our brand, Memphis coach Dave Joerger said.

Markieff Morris and Marcus Morris, city natives, handled the catering for teammates that begged them for the tasty postgame feast. "Every time I come out, Ive got to make sure I take care of those guys," Markieff Morris said. "Ive got to show em what Philly is about."

Whatever he didnt like out of the Sixers, he couldnt fix. Green hit a three and Dragic connected on a 19-footer for a fast 36-20 lead. "We didnt come out the way we intended," Brown said. "We want to end this middle third being a better defensive team. We talk about it, we drill it, we show it. Weve got to find a better way to get that done." The Suns and Sixers were both expected to finish near the bottom of their conferences. After a 3-0 start, the Sixers crashed back to reality and are one of the worst teams in the Eastern Conference. The surprising Suns have withstood the loss of Eric Bledsoe (knee) and positioned themselves as a playoff team in the Western Conference.
