Memphis Grizzlies rout Denver Nuggets, 99-69

Zach Randolph had 15 points and 17 rebounds, Jeff Green added 13 points and the Memphis Grizzlies built an early lead en route to a 99-69 victory over the visiting Denver Nuggets on Thursday night.

Memphis won its fifth straight, holding the Nuggets to 11 points in the first quarter and never getting threatened the rest of the way as Randolph recorded his 10th consecutive double-double.

Courtney Lee, Nick Calathes and Beno Udrih, starting in place of the injured Mike Conley, scored 11 apiece, while Marc Gasol had 10 points.

Wilson Chandler and Kenneth Faried each scored 10 points for Denver, which lost for the eighth time in the last nine.

With Memphis comfortably ahead at the end of the third quarter, both teams relied on their reserves to finish out the fourth.

Memphis outrebounded Denver, 57-47, and held a 46-42 advantage in the paint. The Nuggets managed to shoot only 33% for the night and were two for 26 from outside the arc — less than 8%. Memphis was only slightly better at three for 16.
