Here are a few key points to take away

  • Vince Carter is officially 40. Happy Birthday to the future Hall-of-Famer!
  • Grizzlies played this game without: Chandler Parsons (knee); Jamychal Green (ankle); Troy Daniels (knee); and of course Brandan Wright (ankle)
  • Randolph scored 16 to help propel this Grizz squad when Gasol was on the bench

Memphis will travel to Portland for their matchup Friday for a six-game road trip. Let’s hope the Grizzlies can gain more ground in a thick playoff race.
