MEMPHIS, Tenn. Fausse Yeezy 350 v2 Pas Cher . -- With Tony Allen back, the Memphis Grizzlies were able to turn up their defence pressure and hold off the Los Angeles Clippers down the stretch. Zach Randolph had 21 points and 11 rebounds, Marc Gasol added 17 points and 10 rebounds, and the Grizzlies survived a late rally for a 102-96 victory over the Clippers on Friday night. Allen, the Grizzlies defensive sparkplug, missed the previous 21 games with a sprained left wrist. His return sparked a defensive effort that held the Clippers to 33 per cent shooting in the second half and gave Memphis a double-digit lead that was enough of a buffer for the Grizzlies to win their fourth straight. Allen scored nine points on 4-of-4 shooting with two steals and a block. "With TA back in the lineup, its great," Randolph said. "Hes a leader on this team, and he gets guys going with his energy. What else can I say? Were happy to have him back." Allen drew a standing ovation when he entered the game late in the first quarter and seemed even more animated than usual in seeing his first action since Jan. 3. He said his goal was "to get in there and cause havoc." "I kind of had butterflies in my stomach when they did that," Allen said of the ovation, "but I got focused on the game." James Johnson added 15 for Memphis, and Mike Miller finished with 13, hitting 5 of 8 from the field. Courtney Lee scored 10 for Memphis. Gasol had four blocks. Blake Griffin led the Clippers with 28 points and 13 rebounds, and Jamal Crawford had 23 points. Chris Paul added 18 points and 14 assists, but was 4 of 13 from the field as Los Angeles lost its second straight. "It was just one of those games that we missed a lot of easy ones," Griffin said after Los Angeles shot 39 per cent for the game. Clippers coach Doc Rivers thought the game started slipping away in the second quarter. Rivers, who coached Allen in Boston, noted that he was a key. "I thought Tony Allen, Mike Miller and James Johnson turned the game around for them with their energy," Rivers said. Another key was the bench scoring. Memphis reserves outscored their Clippers counterparts 43-7. "When we dont score, thats fine," Rivers said, "but weve got to be able to get stops. Our second unit didnt kill this offence, they gave up 32 points defensively, and that thats what hurt us." The Grizzlies opened the fourth quarter connecting on their first four shots for an 11-4 run to take the lead to double digits. Mike Conleys layup gave Memphis an 84-72 lead with 9:23 remaining. The margin stayed between seven and 11 points, and Memphis still led by 10 approaching the 4-minute mark. But Los Angeles chipped away, and a pair of free throws from Paul brought the Clippers within 98-96 with 1:05 left. That was as close as Los Angeles could get. Memphis scored the last four points while the Clippers were missing their final four shots. As has become the norm when the two teams face each other, the play was physical and defence stout. "Every game we play against them is going to be a battle, and we understand that," Conley said. "Both teams get up for each other, and (Los Angeles) is the most competitive team, I think, as far as rivalries go." NOTES: Griffin has scored at least 25 points in 10 straight games. ... The Clippers and Grizzlies have played 23 times since Jan. 26, 2012, including 13 games in the post-season. ... The loss snapped the Clippers three-game regular-season winning streak in Memphis. ... The Grizzlies promotion Friday night was a temporary "GRIZZLIES" neck tattoo as a nod to reserve F James Johnson, who has his sons name NAYMIN tattooed on his neck. ... The Grizzlies were 16-5 during Allens absence. Vapormax Pas Cher France . "First, I would like to offer my deepest and sincerest apologies for any harm I have inflicted on University of Missouri defensive lineman, Michael Sam," the statement read.

The Kings lost a 2-1 regulation decision Monday night in Calgary. The setback came at the start of a three-game swing and dropped Darryl Sutters club to 4-8-5 as the guest this season. It also was the fourth consecutive road loss for the Kings, who havent won away from the Staples Center since beating Ottawa on Dec. 11. The fact the L.A. is holding onto the last wild card spot in the Western Conference is due in large part to the teams 14-4-2 mark at home. However, the Flames were able to tie the Kings for the final postseason berth with Mondays close win at the Saddledome. Markus Granlund scored the game-winning goal in the first period as the Flames used an early offensive flurry to defeat the Kings. Calgary scored twice during a 62-second span in the first, with Granlunds goal coming just over a minute after Curtis Glencross made it a 1-0 game. Tyler Toffoli supplied the Kings lone marker in the final minute of regulation and Jonathan Quick made 13 saves in defeat. Usually we get a lot of shots from our defensemen, going into the third we had one, Sutter said. They scored two goals in a minute. Martin Jones is likely to give Quick a rest tonight. L.A.s young backup is 2-0 with a pair of shutouts in his career against the Oilers. The NHLs recent Christmas breaak did little to help the Oilers get back on track. Air Force 1 Pas Cher France. Edmonton lost its eighth straight game with a 5-1 setback to visiting Arizona last Tuesday before the hiatus then emerged from the break on Saturday only to lose 4-1 in Calgary. The current nine-game skid (0-7-2) isnt even the longest of the season for Edmonton, which was on the losing end in 11 straight contests from Nov. 11- Dec. 3. The basement dwellers in the overall NHL standings have lost 20 of their last 21 games with only a 2-1 home win over San Jose on Dec. 7 separating the two epic skids. It seems unlikely Edmonton will put an end to its current slide tonight, as the Kings have won seven straight and nine of the last 10 meetings in this series. The only encounter so far this season between the clubs was in L.A. on Oct. 14, when the Kings routed the Oilers by a 6-1 score. Edmonton also has lost three straight home games against the Kings, who are 10-0-2 in their last 12 trips to Rexall Place. The Oilers fell behind 3-0 to the Flames on Saturday before the game reached the midway point of the first period. Calgary notched the trio of goals in a span of just 1 minute, 40 seconds. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored Edmontons only goal 4:23 into the third period. We took a couple penalties. That killed everything we were building upon, Oilers interim head coach Todd Nelson said. Edmonton will get a chance for revenge on the Flames tomorrow night when the clubs meet again in Calgary. The Oilers are 5-12-2 as the home team this season. ' ' '
