ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Memphis Grizzlies have a magic number when it comes to making the playoffs -- and they hit it on Wednesday night. Zach Randolph had 20 points, Courtney Lee added 17 and the Memphis Grizzlies held off the Orlando Magic 86-81 for their 29th win of the season. The Grizzlies have made the playoffs every season when they win 29 or more games before the All-Star break. Theyve also never made the post-season when winning fewer than 29 games before the seasons midpoint. The Grizzlies led by as many as 13 points in the second half before having to fight off several Magic runs down the stretch. They survived, but did lose centre Marc Gasol in the third quarter when he limped off the court after aggravating a left knee injury. "We just stuck with it was the most important thing," Grizzlies forward Tayshaun Prince said. "When Marc went out, everybody was kind of hurt by it. ... But this is definitely a good win going into the break." Gasol didnt appear to be in a lot of pain, but he will have an MRI on the knee as a precaution. Grizzlies coach David Joerger said afterward that he is optimistic. "Im really proud of our first half of the season, and then to come out and lose Marc for a little bit -- hopefully not a lot," he said. Memphis beat the Magic for the sixth straight time and enters the break having won eight of its last 11. Nik Vucevic had 13 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Magic. Tobias Harris added 13 points. But they committed 14 turnovers that led to 19 Memphis points. Orlando had won three straight and five in a row at home. "It was our game, I thought, right there. We let one slip away," Harris said. Following the Grizzlies win over Washington on Tuesday, Joerger acknowledged his team was mentally tired. It showed as the game wore on Wednesday against Orlando. First they lost Gasol, then after leading by as many as 13 points in the first half, the Magic stormed back and briefly took the lead in the third quarter. Orlando trailed by three entering the final period. Magic coach Jacque Vaughn began the fourth with the young, quick lineup of Harris, Victor Oladipo, ETwaun Moore, Maurice Harkless and Kyle OQuinn that had been so effective in back-to-back wins, over Oklahoma City and Indiana Orlando surged at the outset, but Memphis weathered the rally and got two free-throws from Randolph that put the Grizzlies up 78-77 with 4 minutes to play. Memphis was leading 80-79 when Jameer Nelsons 3-pointer bounced off the back of the rim and was rebounded by the Grizzlies. Lee got it and raced into the front court before a clear-path foul was called on Arron Afflalo with 35.7 seconds left. The call was upheld after an official review. Lee connected on both free throws to make it 82-79. Memphis retained possession and wound down the clock before getting Randolph free in the paint for a layup to stretch the lead to five. The Magic called timeout, but they could only muster a long 3-pointer on the other end by Oladipo that caromed off the backboard and was rebounded by Memphis. The final review was one of three in the final 1:26 of the game. "The refs did the right thing in going back and looking at a couple of them so if it happens, Id rather have them go back and look at it than just make the call and stick with it," Lee said. "One of them, they gave us the ball and another one was a clear-path foul. So it was 2 for 3. Ill take it." Vaughn said hes looking forward to seeing how his team responds with six of their first seven on the road after the break. "I think we get an immediate test," Vaughn said. "Back to the grind we go and a great challenge for our group to see if we can take some of the things we learned at home ... and see if we can kind of duplicate it on the road." Joerger said the break is coming at the perfect time. "Were exhausted. Were making mistakes toward the ends of games that are just mental mistakes ... those are exhaustion mistakes," he said. "It was a slugfest, I thought at halftime maybe wed get to 84. We got 86 so Im fired up." NOTES: The Grizzlies improved to 6-4 this season in the second night of a back-to-back. ...

That led to Watson writing an open letter over the weekend to say he regrets it if his message to the team came out the wrong way and that he takes full responsibility for any mistakes.From my point of view, I think its a little bit disappointing to see the dirty laundry being out in public, first and foremost, Westwood said at the Frys.com Open. Its very difficult to pinpoint in a team environment whose fault it specifically is. Its a combination of a lot of different things. Yeah, maybe Tom got a few things wrong. Maybe the U.S. team just didnt quite play well enough in general. If the other team plays well, youre going to lose.Im just pleased that I dont have to sort it all out because I dont like to see people with great reputations ... being brought down by something that shouldnt really happen in public, he said. It should all be done behind closed doors and sorted out there, and the analysis should start there, and not be done in the press.Westwood knows that feeling.He was benched for the first time in 2008 when Europe, with six-time major champion Nick Faldo as its captain, lost for the only time in the last 15 years. The European players defended Faldo at the closing press conference and closed ranks in the months that followed.I thiink there were a lot of people disappointed in 08, but we tried to come together and basically not say anything in public, Westwood said.dddddddddddd Whenever you lose, youre going to be disappointed and youre going to think things could have been done better. Its just a case of managing it and handling it and improving it for the next time professionally.Phil Mickelson spoke on the final day at Gleneagles of how the Americans have strayed from a winning formula it had in 2008, praising endlessly the work of captain Paul Azinger at Valhalla even as Watson sat six seats away and listened to him. In a tense press conference, Watsons rebuttal was that he had a different philosophy.Matt Kuchar said he was unaware of the post-Ryder Cup stories because he hasnt turned on his TV or read the Internet since he returned from Scotland. Kuchar said he didnt think Mickelson was taking a shot at Watson, rather answering a question about what worked for the Americans in 2008.Whatever was aired out, Im sure it was blown out of proportion, Kuchar said.The PGA of America plans to wait until early next year to appoint its next captain and is contemplating a task force to figure out how to developing a winning culture. As much as the Americans will remember that closing press conference, Westwood said the Europeans wont forget it, either.It cant do anything but building confidence for the European team going into the next one, that its been handled so publicly this time, he said. The fact that the fallout from the Ryder Cup on the U.S. side is being handled publicly and theres stuff being thrown backward and forward and stuff like that, we will remember that going into the next Ryder Cup. I guess well see how easy it is to get the U.S. team rattled by putting a bit of pressure on them.I dont think anything good can come of all this.
