MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — The Memphis Grizzlies have been unbeatable at home lately and are preparing to open the postseason on their own court for the first time in team history when they host the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Grizzlies are riding a franchise-best 11-game winning streak at home. They went 26-7 at the FedExForum in this shortened season, but they do not plan on resting on that success in their first-round Western Conference series against the Clippers.

Memphis forward Zach Randolph says the Grizzlies still have to come out and play starting Sunday night. He said Saturday the Grizzlies can’t think this series will be easy just because they have the home-court advantage.

The Clippers won two of the three games between these teams in the regular season with each winning at home.
