The Memphis Grizzlies ( 34 - 12 ) trounced the Denver Nuggets ( 19 - 28 ) 99 - 69 on Thursday at the FedEx Forum . This game can be summed up by a single possession halfway through the third quarter where Memphis ' Zach Randolph missed three shots , but pulled down three offensive rebounds and drew a foul . He made both foul shots to give Memphis a 67 - 47 lead . This possession was indicative of the overall dominance of the Grizzlies in this game coupled with the overall ineptitude displayed by the Nuggets . Randolph finished the night with 15 points and 17 rebounds in just 30 minutes on the floor . Denver stopped the bleeding of a seven - game losing streak Wednesday night by beating New Orleans 93 - 85 in New Orleans . However , the Nuggets came out flat and were routed by one of the best teams in the West . They shot a paltry 2 - for - 26 from beyond the arc , which is good enough for 8 percent . On the injury front , JaVale McGee returned to the floor in a bench role Thursday and had two points and five rebounds in 15 minutes on the floor . Denver will host Charlotte on Saturday before playing six of its next seven on the road . Memphis is clearly cognizant of the teams breathing down its neck for the second seed in the West and certainly played like it Thursday with a dominant performance . Even without Mike Conley , who is battling a wrist injury , Memphis was able to build a big lead in the early goings . Vince Carter exited the game with a left foot injury and did not return , but the severity of his injury is unclear at this point . Memphis will look to extend its winning streak to six games Saturday when Oklahoma City comes to town .
