MINNEAPOLIS -- The Memphis Grizzlies are making a move in the Western Conference and are doing it on the road. Zach Randolph had 26 points and 12 rebounds and Memphis overcame another strong effort by Kevin Love to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 94-90 Friday night. Courtney Lee added 16 points for the Grizzlies, who have won five straight games and 10 of their last 11. Memphis has won six straight away from home, including a sweep of a three-game trip to Portland, Sacramento and Minnesota. "It feels good, we are still getting to where we want to get," Randolph said. One-half game behind Dallas for eighth place in the Western Conference, the Grizzlies are 13-7 on the road and 12-13 at home. "This is huge for us, especially for the goals we have as far as making that playoff push," Lee said. "It definitely builds momentum." The win could be costly because Memphis played the final 6:37 without starting guard Mike Conley, who sprained his right ankle when he landed on J.J. Bareas foot. Conley had 12 points on 4-of-14 shooting after scoring a combined 46 in his last two outings. He is to be re-evaluated Saturday. "I can put weight on it now," Conley said. "Tomorrow is looking iffy, but hopefully after some treatment tonight and the next day we will go from there." Memphis hosts Milwaukee Saturday. Playing on a sore left ankle throughout the second half, Love led Minnesota with 28 points and 16 rebounds. Kevin Martin had 14 points for the Timberwolves, who lost for just the second time in seven games. "We had our chances in the end and had some really, really great looks. We just didnt convert," Love said. Randolph did. He scored six points during a 9-2 Memphis run that turned a one-point deficit into a 91-85 lead with 59.6 seconds to play and later added two free throws. "Hes the man, hes the go-to player. Hes a proud man, hes an extremely competitive man," said Memphis coach David Joerger. "Think of all the banging those guys take night in and night out, year in and year out. When he got down there and got it done going 11 of 20 with some offensive rebounds, makes big free throws. Im really proud of him, really happy." With Minnesota trailing by one, Love scored on a fadeaway jumper and on a layup after a feed from Barea for an 83-80 lead midway through the fourth quarter. Love hurt his left ankle when he collided with Marc Gasol on a drive with 2 minutes to play in the first half and landed on the foot of another Memphis player, yet gutted it out until halftime. "When I was moving it felt fine and I continued to keep it moving," Love said. "But right now it doesnt feel so good. We just need to do all we can before tomorrow night and hopefully be ready to go." Minnesota is at Atlanta on Saturday. Loves gimping was gone to start the second half much to the dismay of Memphis. With the Timberwolves trailing 59-43 early in the third quarter, Love scored 14 points during an 18-4 run to get them within two. His jumper with 12.8 seconds left in the quarter gave Minnesota its first lead of the game at 67-66. Love outscored the Grizzlies 18-16 in the frame. Ricky Rubio helped lead the comeback in the third with six assists, but did not get off the bench in the fourth as coach Rick Adelman thought Barea "was the best option for us to win." Rubio finished with six points on 2-of-7 shooting. "Its coachs decision and I respect it. He always does what he thinks is best for the team. Of course I wish I could play, but I respect my teammates and my coaches and what he decides," Rubio said. Early on, Memphis took advantage of Minnesota playing its second straight game without bruising centre Nikola Pekovic, who is out indefinitely with bursitis in his right ankle. Memphis had 36 points in the paint in the first half, and finished with 56. Gasol and Lee each had nine points in the first quarter as the Grizzlies shot 63.6 per cent from the field, and had 22 points in the paint in building a 30-22 lead. A putback by Randolph and a two-handed dunk by Ed Davis off a Minnesota turnover increased Memphis lead to 42-28 midway through the second quarter.

Getzlaf scored the go-ahead goal late in the third period, Ryan had two goals and Perry added two assists in a 4-2 win over the New York Islanders on Friday night, snapping a three-game losing streak. "We got mad instead of hanging our heads when we fell behind," Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said. "You cant play without passion in this league. Tonight we had it and it was channelled in the right direction." Getzlaf ended a 12-game scoring drought with just his third goal in his past 30 games. "Terrible," the Ducks captain said, describing the past few weeks. "Its frustrating for me and Im sure a lot of other people in the organization. The hard work is what brings you out of it." Jonas Hiller stopped 19 shots to earn his 99th NHL career victory for the Ducks, who avoided their second four-game losing streak of the season. "Its a starting point," Ryan said. "Hopefully we can string some things together." The Islanders led 2-1 early in the third on a goal by Kyle Okposo only to have the Ducks score the games final three goals and end New Yorks three-game winning streak in a matchup of two teams next-to-last in their respective divisions. Islanders left wing Matt Martin said its hard to believe the Ducks have struggled as much as they have this season. "They were obviously going to get out of it eventually, but unfortunately it was against us," he said. "We did a good job for two periods, frustrating them and kind of letting them sleep. But then we gave them too much time and space (with the puck) in the third period and kind of let them build momentum for themselves." Evgeni Nabokov made 16 saves for the Islanders, leaving him two wins away from 300. Ryan tied the game 2-2 with the second short-handed goal of his career at 9:22 of the third, fighting off two defenders as he closed in on the net. Perry earned his first assist of the game for his 400th NHL point. "Perry did most of the workk," Ryan said.dddddddddddd. "I tried a 1-on-1 move, tried my forehand and generally I miss those. It was a great goal to feel good about yourself." With Anaheims Cam Fowler and New Yorks PA Parenteau serving penalties, Getzlaf scored 4-on-4 with a shot in the top of the net at 12:25 that gave Anaheim a 3-2 lead. Perry picked up his second assist. "We tried to move the puck up the wall there, but Perry stole the puck and Ryan made a good shot," Okposo said. "That short-handed goal gave them some life and gave the crowd some life, and they fed off that. We kind of sat back on our heels a little bit, and you cant do that in this league." Teemu Selanne scored his 12th goal on a rebound in front of the net to make it 4-2 at 17:06. "Bobby and Getz scored big goals. Thats a great sign," he said. "Everything is about confidence, especially with Getzy. He hasnt found the confidence lately. He takes a lot on his shoulders as captain. Lately its been more tougher with the mental side to lose night after night." New York tied the game 1-1 at 16:04 of the second period. Hiller lay on his right side in the net as Martin swooped around from the right side and went for the puck resting on the goal line. Before he could get to it, Hillers glove nudged it across the line. The Ducks led 1-0 on Ryans rebound in front of the crease at 14:18, nine seconds after Anaheims power play ended. The Islanders, who twice hit the post, outshot the Ducks 8-3 in the scoreless first when there were no penalties. Notes: Islanders C Marty Reasoner broke his right thumb. ... Ducks RW George Parros missed the game because of a strained groin. ... The teams played for the first time since the Islanders won 3-2 on Dec. 16, 2010. ...
