When Memphis beat New Orleans on Dec. 5, Marc Gasol had a triple-double and the Grizzlies hung on to beat the Pelicans 110-108 in double overtime.
Gasol posted 28 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists for the Grizzlies, who resembled a M*A*S*H unit more than an NBA team. They won that game without Mike Conley, Zach Randolph, Chandler Parsons or Vince Carter.
With a mish-mash of journeymen and rookies, coach David Fizdale's squad overcame 28 points, 16 rebounds and four blocked shots from New Orleans All-Star Anthony Davis.
