Grizzlies tie the series 2-2 with big men dominating on Saturday night.
Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol were a dominating presence for a second straight game for the Memphis Grizzlies as they tie the series 2-2 following a 104-83 win over the Los Angeles Clippers.
Randolph and Gasol had 24 points apiece in Game 4, with Tayshaun Prince and Mike Conley adding 15 points each to lead Memphis to their highest scoring offensive performance of the series.
Chris Paul and Blake Griffin led the way for the Clippers with 19 points each, but collectively they were held to 33 percent shooting in a second half that saw them outscored 58-36 in front of a sellout crowd at the FedEx Forum.
Memphis scored 22 points off second-chance opportunities as they commanded the space inside the paint, out-rebounding their rivals 45-28.
Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro will need to find a way to counter their deficiency against the Memphis big men, otherwise the crowd at the Staples Center on Tuesday night for Game 5 may face an uncomfortable night’s viewing.
