Despite Lillard 's struggles , Portland was able to tie it up late after Los Angeles ' Hedo Turkgolu over - pursued on a pass , which allowed Nicolas Batum to drain a wide - open three .

The Blazers were resilient in overtime as they rallied to a big victory . Portland had dropped both games against Los Angeles entering Wednesday , but hung around long enough to take the lead late and steal the road win .

He went 7 - for - 12 from the field and 2 - for - 3 from the free throw line to finish with a team - high of 16 points , while adding 15 rebounds and a blocked shot over 37 minutes .

Since joining the Hornets 14 games ago , he 's averaging 20 points , 3 rebounds and 8 assists , as he continues to establish himself as a very valuable player . Gerald Henderson also added 16 points ( 5 - 13 FG , 0 - 1 3Pt , 6 - 8 FT ) and two steals as a starter .

Victor Oladipo was the other player to score 18 points ( 6 - 11 FG , 1 - 3 3Pt , 5 - 6 FT ) , while also adding seven rebounds and two assists . He 's gone a combined 14 - for - 28 from the field over his last last two games , scoring 36 points over that span . Coming off the bench , Dewayne Dedmon notched a double - double with 10 points ( 4 - 5 FG , 2 - 6 FT ) and 10 rebounds in 30 minutes . Channing Frye played only 12 minutes in this game as a starter , so Dedmon took most of the extra playing time . The only other Magic player to reach double figures was rookie Elfrid Payton , who posted 12 points and six assists in 35 minutes . The Grizzlies ' next game will be on the road against the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday , while the Magic will be at home against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday .


The Memphis Grizzlies ( 34 - 12 ) trounced the Denver Nuggets ( 19 - 28 ) 99 - 69 on Thursday at the FedEx Forum . This game can be summed up by a single possession halfway through the third quarter where Memphis ' Zach Randolph missed three shots , but pulled down three offensive rebounds and drew a foul . He made both foul shots to give Memphis a 67 - 47 lead . This possession was indicative of the overall dominance of the Grizzlies in this game coupled with the overall ineptitude displayed by the Nuggets . Randolph finished the night with 15 points and 17 rebounds in just 30 minutes on the floor . Denver stopped the bleeding of a seven - game losing streak Wednesday night by beating New Orleans 93 - 85 in New Orleans . However , the Nuggets came out flat and were routed by one of the best teams in the West . They shot a paltry 2 - for - 26 from beyond the arc , which is good enough for 8 percent . On the injury front , JaVale McGee returned to the floor in a bench role Thursday and had two points and five rebounds in 15 minutes on the floor . Denver will host Charlotte on Saturday before playing six of its next seven on the road . Memphis is clearly cognizant of the teams breathing down its neck for the second seed in the West and certainly played like it Thursday with a dominant performance . Even without Mike Conley , who is battling a wrist injury , Memphis was able to build a big lead in the early goings . Vince Carter exited the game with a left foot injury and did not return , but the severity of his injury is unclear at this point . Memphis will look to extend its winning streak to six games Saturday when Oklahoma City comes to town .

The Memphis Grizzlies ( 38 - 13 ) defeated the Atlanta Hakws ( 42 - 10 ) 94 - 88 on Sunday at Fed Ex Forum Arena in Memphis . Despite securing the six - point victory , the Grizzlies did n't have as much success shooting the ball as the Hawks did . The Hawks went 41 percent from the field and 40 percent from the three - point line , while the Grizzlies finished at 39 percent from the floor and a meager 23 percent from beyond the arc . While they may not have had the shooting advantage , the Grizzlies did it elsewhere , as they out - rebounded the Hawks 55 - 37 and forced them into 14 turnovers , while committing only 11 of their own . Offensively , the Grizzlies leaned on the duo of Mike Conley and Marc Gasol . Conley went 7 - for - 12 from the field and 2 - for - 4 from the three - point line to finish with a team - high of 21 points , while also adding six assists . He 's been shooting the ball really well lately , shooting higher than 50 percent from the field in three out of his last four games . Gasol , on the other hand , recorded 16 points ( 6 - 14 FG , 0 - 1 3Pt , 4 - 4 FT ) , 10 rebounds and two blocked shots . His rebounding numbers were down a bit , as he 's recorded less than seven rebounds in each of his last three games , so it was good to see him notch the double - double and get back to producing some higher numbers . Zach Randolph did n't have his best night shooting the ball , but still finished with 11 points ( 5 - 16 FG , 1 - 2 FT ) , to go along with 15 rebounds and two steals . He 's now had at least 10 rebounds in 21 of his last 22 games . Jeff Green added 11 points ( 3 - 10 FG , 1 - 3 3Pt , 4 - 4 FT ) and six rebounds . For the Hawks , Jeff Teague did most of the damage offensively . He went 9 - for - 13 from the field and 1 - for - 2 from the three - point line to finish with 22 points , while also handing out six assists . He 's been on a hot stretch of late , averaging 24 points and seven assists over his last three games . DeMare Carroll was the only other starter in double figures for points , recording 10 points ( 3 - 9 FG , 2 - 6 3Pt , 2 - 2 FT ) and five rebounds in 29 minutes . The other three starters combined to go 7 - for - 27 from the field to score just 18 points , which may have played a big factor in the loss . Coming off the bench , Kent Bazemore had the most success , posting 14 points ( 5 - 11 FG , 2 - 4 3Pt , 2 - 2 FT ) , five rebounds and two steals in 29 minutes . Considering he 's averaging only four points per game on the season , it was a nice surprise for the Hawks . Both Mike Scott and Dennis Schroder added 11 points each . The Grizzlies ' next game will be at home against the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday , while the Hawks will travel to Minnesota to play the Timberwolves on Monday .
