Memphis (19-53) at LA Clippers (21-51), 7:30 pm
LOS ANGELES (Ticker) - Rudy Gay and the Memphis Grizzlies will try to make it a clean sweep in "Tinseltown."
After defeating the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday, the Grizzlies aim to send the reeling Los Angeles Clippers to their 10th straight setback Saturday. Gay poured in 28 points and Darko Milicic had 20 and 12 rebounds as the Grizzlies captured their third win in five tries with a stunning 114-111 victory over the Lakers. "Road win, playoff team, Kobe (Bryant) going off ticking off reasons why it was a big win," Gay said. "We played so well together. We just don't want to lose. We're not trying to give up on anything." Memphis also enters with revenge on its mind after suffering a 14-point loss to the Clippers at home on February 20.
The Clippers continued their late-season slump on Friday with a 121-101 loss to the Utah Jazz, despite Corey Maggette's 28 points. Chris Kaman is averaging 16.0 points 6.0 rebounds in two games since returning from a nagging back injury that sidelined him for 10 games.
