Mayo leads Grizzlies to fourth straight win

. -- The Memphis Grizzlies’ youth movement is starting to show results.

Memphis won its fourth straight game Sunday, beating the Miami Heat, 102-86. Rookie O.J. Mayo had 28 points, and Rudy Gay scored 18.

“As long as we play together, open it up for each other making an extra pass, a screen to get your teammate open, then I feel it makes the game a lot easier for us,” Mayo said.

Memphis’ winning streak is its longest since the final five games of the 2005-06 season. Darko Milicic matched his season high with 13 points, and reserve Mike Conley had 12 for the Grizzlies, who at times have started three rookies: Mayo, Marc Gasol and Darrell Arthur. Eight of Memphis’ 14 players are 23 or younger.

“After we’ve gotten a couple of wins and seen that playing team basketball really gets you wins, guys are really working on it,” Conley said.

Memphis has scored at least 100 points in all four wins during the run and has turned up the defensive pressure. On Sunday, Miami’s Dwyane Wade missed 11 of 16 shots and the Heat shot 36%. Wade, the NBA’s leading scorer at 29.1 points a game, scored 17.
