MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Rudy Gay scored 21 points and had a key block in the final seconds as the Memphis Grizzlies won their fourth straight, 93-89 over the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday night.

J.J. Hickson scored 23 points to lead Portland, while Jamal Crawford had 21 despite going 5 of 13 from the field, part of the Trail Blazers’ 37 percent shooting for the game. Matthews had 16 points and Luke Babbitt added 10.
