Memphis Grizzlies Team Report - February 22

(Basketball News) - James Posey poured in a game-high 27 points to lead the Memphis Grizzlies to a 105-98 win over the Chicago Bulls on Saturday at the United Center.

Pau Gasol added 23 points and nine boards for the Grizzlies, who have won four straight games. Bonzi Wells contributed 16 points and Lorenzen Wright netted 14 and grabbed nine rebounds in the win.

Memphis led 76-72 after three quarters, but quickly widened the gap to 83-76 on Jason Williams’ basket with eight minutes remaining. The lead rose to 10 points moments later on a three-pointer by Williams and the Grizzlies extended the cushion to 14 points with around four minutes remaining.

Chicago never seriously threatened the rest of the game.

Memphis swept the season series after it also defeated the Bulls 108-93 earlier this season. The Grizzlies are 20-1 when scoring at least 100 points this year.

Posey is averaging 21.3 points and six rebounds in his last three games.

The Grizzlies are off until Monday when they host rookie sensation Carmelo Anthony and the Denver Nuggets.
