BAH GAWD, KANG. THAT’S THE MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES’ MUSIC.
This is a pretty accurate representation of how game one went for both the Grizzlies and the Portland Trail Blazers.
The Grizzlies jumped out to a huge lead, thanks to Zach Randolph and, perhaps the unlikeliest of heroes, Beno Udrih. With concerns surrounding Mike Conley’s health, Udrih’s play would be of paramount importance to the Grizzlies. Udrih delivered tonight, shooting 6-for-7 from the field in the first half for 13 points. And when Beno Udrih is the one leading the blowout, it has to feel like…well, probably like a someone dove off of a ladder and smashed you through a table.
The Grizzlies beat the Blazers 100-86. LaMarcus Aldridge had 32 points and 14 rebounds for the Blazers, while Udrih (yes, seriously) had a team-high 20 points for the Grizzlies.
