GRIZZLIES 90 THUNDER 87...GASOL returns as Team GRIT & GRIND's New Acquisition C-LEE of the HILLTOPPERS of WKU grabs the Headlines as the REGULATORS go down again...May Day May Day calling RUSS of Jordan Brand..."REGULATORS Report OKC" gets caught in GRIND Mode not eating Memphis Dry Rub BBQ Episode...REGULATORS...Mount Up!

The Memphis Grizzlies showed signs of what they want to be by the end of the 82-game trek as they go end to end back and forth with the Regulators Report OKC and get a hard-fought "W". The return of the reigning 2012-13 Logo Defensive P.O.Y. Marc Gasol and a huge night from the unknown paced the Grizzlies 90-87 shocker over the struggling Thunder of OKC.

The game could have went either way but the difference was 6'5" former 1st rounder of the Orlando Magic Courtney Lee of WKU Hilltoppers Fame shining representing Nap Town USA. Lee starting in the back court with Grit & Grind Point God Mike Conley Jr. had a night going 9 for 15 including 2 for 3 from deep for a Grizz-High of 24 points. Zach Randolph feeling good with Gasol back went 23 points and thirteen boards as he loves seeing OKC. Both teams shot the Orange the Same and there were no distinct advantages talking numbers in this one.

The Regulators get 37 points from Nike Basketball's @kdTREY5 and 17 points from PG Reggie Jackson as OKC PF Serge Ibaka added 11 points and nine boards. The only three OKC Players in double figures as the Grizz get 80 points from their Starters with OKC getting 67 points with KD and Reg combining for 54 of that. The Thunder have to manage without Russell Westbrook and it has been tough sledding on most nights. The Key is Jeremy Lamb, Ibaka, and Jackson have to combine to make up for the loss of Westbrook as we have been knowing for quite sometime OKC  and KD needs Russ and vice versa to flourish.

OKC falls to 28-10 and the Grizz move to 18-19 as we watch Memphis making moves on the Roster and now they have Gasol back. One has to wonder with the acquisition of Courtney Lee what does that mean for the "Grind Father" Tony Allen as he is on most nights offensively challenged?

Regulators...Mount Up!
