Gasol beats Gasol
CHICAGO – Marc Gasol scored 23 points to lead the Memphis Grizzlies past his brother Pau Gasol and the Chicago Bulls 101-91 on Monday night.
Gasol was 10 of 16 from the field for the Grizzlies, who moved to two games ahead of Houston for the Southwest Division lead.
Jeff Green had 19 and Zach Randolph added 16 for the Grizzlies, who held the Bulls to 43.8 percent shooting from the field and improved to 21-11 on the road.
Pau Gasol, Marc's older brother, had 13 points and 11 rebounds for his 43rd double-double to match the career high he set during the 2010-11 season with the Lakers.
Both brothers started last month's NBA All-Star Game."My teammates found me at the elbows and in the post, and I was able to make some shots," Marc Gasol said. "That makes their bigs come out and pick up their coverage a bit more. You get confidence."
