MEMPHIS — Memphis center Marc Gasol has played alongside Zach Randolph long enough to know when the Grizzlies’ veteran forward is unstoppable.
While the Knicks matched the Grizzlies in points in the paint (42) Friday night, they only caught up in the fourth quarter when they were down 20 points.
It was Memphis’ muscle in the third quarter that was the difference in the game, specifically center Marc Gasol, who scored 12 points to lead his team to a 31-18 advantage in the period. Power forward Zach Randolph added 20 points and 15 rebounds for the game.
That kind of muscle will be flexing in the Knicks’ next four games against the Indiana Pacers (Sunday afternoon), New Orleans Hornets (Tuesday), Dallas Mavericks (Wednesday) and Houston Rockets (Friday).
