(AP) — The Grizzlies are very happy after finally getting a bit of payback for their first-round loss to the Los Angeles Clippers a year ago. They also made a bit of NBA history. Memphis became only the 10th team in NBA history to win four straight after trailing 0-2 — and the first to win the next four all by double digits. The Grizzlies w...

Sunday they can close it out in perfect fashion against a familiar foe — the same Utah team they rallied to beat 116-114 Friday night to earn their 16th straight win.
