With the bench pouring in 32 points for the game, the Grizz led 27-12 after the first quarter and never looked back.
This win gives the Grizzlies seven straight on the road, two behind the league record for road-winning streak this season, held by the Celtics. It is also the only current road-winning streak that is active in the NBA.
Rudy Gay led all scorers with 28 and the entire Memphis team shot 55 percent from the field.
Marcus Williams, Sam Young and Hasheem Thabeet all played more than 20 minutes tonight.
I can't remember the last time the Grizzlies bench played over 20 minutes combined!
While embarrassing the Celtics at home is fun, it is a short season right now. The Grizzlies will face the Knicks at home on Friday and the Nuggets at home on Saturday.
Not that every game is a must win, but being 4 1/2 games out of the final playoff spot it is time to get serious. The playoffs are in reach, but does this team want them bad enough?
