Memphis Grizzlies Team Report - January 29

(Basketball News) - The Memphis Grizzlies had their franchise-record eight- game winning streak stopped on Wednesday with an 88-76 setback at the hands of the Portland Trail Blazers.

Former Trail Blazer Bonzi Wells came off the bench to score 20 for Memphis, which also had its franchise-record home win streak snapped at seven games. Pau Gasol added 13 points and 11 rebounds.

Despite the loss, the Grizzlies have still earned a team-record 10 wins this month and remain only three wins shy of tying the team mark for most victories in an entire season (28).

Portland carried a 64-60 lead into the fourth quarter, but the Grizzlies rallied to tie it with four straight points from Earl Watson.

However, the Blazer put the game away with a explosive 16-2 outburst, keyed by seven points from Rasheed Wallace. Damon Stoudamire capped the spurt with a pair of free throws to make it 80-66 with just 5:00 remaining, and Memphis never threatened after that.

Memphis returns to action on Friday against Utah.
