GRIZZLIES 94 TIMBERWOLVES 90...GRIT & GRIND turns into @macBO50 vs the "Lake OSWEGO Monster" and that goes to a Draw as GRIZZLIES roll to 5th Straight...LOGO WATCH turning TARGET into the GRIND House on Beale Street #MEMGrizz #GRIZnation #GnG

No matter how you slice it you can throw another Team into the West Mix as a potential threat in making a deep run in the "Fight for Larry". The Memphis Grizzlies have officially launched their 2013-14 Campaign as Marc Gasol and @macBO50 also known as "Z-Bo" Zach Randolph are backing doing business together.  

Behind a 26 points and twelve rebound effort from Z-Bo and 9 pints an six rebounds from Marc Gasol the Grizzlies make it five wins in a row and move to 25-20 as the beat the Wolves in Target 94-90. The 'Wolves All-Star PF Kevin Love aka the "Lake Oswego Monster" goes a game-high 28 points and grabs sixteen Oranges but Z-Bo matched that output head to head. Courtney Lee add 16 and Mike Conley Jr. goes 12 points and eight dimes as the Grizz are locked into the 82-Game Trek. It was Vet Solid Tayshaun Prince of the #BBN and #WeRUK Lore and ex-Piston who did the late damage hitting a Money Ball to move the score up to six points under a minute to go.

The 'Wolves had opportunities late they just missed shots and didn't make the play to get them back into the game. Kevin Martin had 14 points as he joined Love as the only Starters for the 'Wolves to hit double figures. J.J. Barea and Dante Cunningham each dropped 12 for the 'Wolves off the bench.

The Grizz are now in the 9th slot a 1.5 games back of the Mavs. The 'Wolves fall further back as they drop back to the .500 mark and hovering around those parts will not get your team into Winning Time in the West.
