Warriors, Wizards, And Bucks Fall To Grizzlies

The reason I am posting all of these boxscores and recaps now is because I've had some other important obligations this week, yet I still felt there needed to be talk about the Grizzlie's winning streak.

Gasol collected 27 points and 12 rebounds as the Grizzlies defeated the Milwaukee Bucks, 105-85, for their 28th victory, matching the best total in their nine-season history.</div>

James Posey has been the Grizzlie's key player in this run. Posey scored thirty-one points and recorded four rebounds against the Wizards, then scored twenty-one points and grabbed eleven rebounds against Michael Redd and the Bucks.

Not only did this win put the Grizzlies seven games over fifty percent; it also tied the franchise record for most wins in a season. Who would have guessed that the Grizzlies would have tied their franchise record before the All-Star break?

"I would like to get 50 wins. Why not say it?" Gasol said. "But to say it and get it done are a different story. We just have to go game by game and not give away any games that we have to win. We have to stay focused and keep our feet on the floor because it's going to get tough after the All-Star Game." - Pau Gasol
