Grizzlies beat Jazz, end a three-game losing skid

The Memphis Grizzlies got back to playing their style of basketball -- and it helped them end a season-high three-game losing skid.

The Grizzlies returned to playing rugged defense and pounding the ball inside to Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol in a 99-86 victory over the Utah Jazz on Saturday night. Randolph had 25 points and 16 rebounds, while Gasol added 16 points and eight boards. Memphis held Utah to 25.7 percent shooting in the second half. The Grizzlies had lost nine straight in Utah dating back to January of 2007.

Al Jefferson scored a team-high 21 points for Utah, but was largely ineffective in the second half. Paul Millsap had 12 points and four rebounds.
