    The Memphis Grizzlies were frustrated, having dropped three straight after opening the season with a franchise-best mark.

    They also were tired of coming up empty in Salt Lake City, where they hadn't walked away winners since 2007.

    That all changed Saturday night when they overcame a miserable first half to cruise to a 99-86 victory over the Utah Jazz.

    "It's been a long time," said Zach Randolph, who scored 25 points and grabbed 16 rebounds to fuel Memphis. "It's always hard to win here."

    At halftime the Jazz appeared headed toward another victory in front of their fans.

    But the Grizzlies outscored Utah 28-10 in the third quarter to turn a 10-point halftime deficit into a 72-64 lead entering the fourth. The Jazz shot just 15 percent (3 of 20) in the quarter after shooting 56.4 percent at halftime.
