Grizzlies take on Bucks at Bradley Center

Jan 22, 2011 - 4:06 PM (Sports Network) - The Memphis Grizzlies will begin a four-game road trip tonight, starting with Saturday's showdown with the Milwaukee Bucks from the Bradley Center.

Memphis will also visit the Raptors, Nets and Sixers, and is just 7-16 away from FedEx Forum, where it recorded a 115-110 victory over Houston last night.

Zach Randolph posted 29 points, Rudy Gay netted 22 and Mike Conley finished with 17 points and five assists for the Grizzlies, who ended a two-game slide and won for the sixth time in 10 tries.

"We were down, but the effort from everybody was tremendous," Conley said.

O.J. Mayo contributed 13 points in a reserve role. Randolph tied a franchise record with his ninth straight double-double and is averaging 24.8 points and 15.2 boards over that stretch.

Milwaukee has won back-to-back games, but won for only the third time in nine tries with Friday's 102-88 triumph in Cleveland. Andrew Bogut had 23 points and six rebounds, while Corey Maggette contributed 20 points for the Bucks, winners in two straight following a three-game slide.

Milwaukee swingman Carlos Delfino scored nine points and pulled down five boards in 23 minutes in his first game since November 6. He had missed the previous 32 contests due to a concussion.

"Our goal was to keep his minutes down but if he felt good we would play him and let him go a little bit longer," Bucks coach Scott Skiles said. "He looked fine and he felt good and we are glad to have him back. He had his four defensive rebounds at halftime and he did the things that he does. Obviously his shot and his rhythm are off a little bit still but it is understandable. I thought he played very well."

The Bucks shot 51 percent and sent Cleveland to its 15th straight loss. Guard John Salmons missed his second straight game with a hip injury and is averaging 13.8 points per game. He is questionable for tonight. Leading scorer and guard Brandon Jennings (foot) is still out. He is averaging 17.9 ppg.

Milwaukee is 9-9 as the host this season.

Memphis and Milwaukee are meeting for the first time since the Bucks swept a home-and-home series a year ago. The Bucks have won eight of the last 10 matchups with the Grizzlies, losers in seven of the previous 10 trips to the Bradley Center.
