(Adds late game) Jan 24 (The Sports Xchange) - Highlights of Saturday's National Basketball Association games: - - - Grizzlies 101, 76ers 83 Zach Randolph scored 17 points, grabbed 14 rebounds, had four assists and even shot and made a three-pointer as the Grizzlies cruised past the Philadelphia 76ers. Randolph's double-double was his eighth straight (24th this season) since returning from a knee injury that caused him to miss nine games. Memphis (31-12) swept the season series 2-0. - - - Hornets 76, Knicks 71 Brian Roberts scored 17 points and the Charlotte Hornets struggled but eventually rallied to beat the New York Knicks. Both teams were without their leading scorers as Knicks (8-37) forward Carmelo Anthony sat out with a sore left knee and Hornets (19-26) guard Kemba Walker was sidelined after a cyst on his left knee flared up. - - - Bucks 101, Pistons 86 O.J. Mayo made four 3-pointers and finished with 20 points as the Milwaukee Bucks snapped a two-game losing streak with a victory over the Detroit Pistons. Along with Mayo, John Henson and Jared Dudley each scored 12 for the Bucks (22-21) to drop Detroit to 17-27. - - - Jazz 108, Nets 73 Gordon Hayward scored 24 points on 10-of-14 shooting from the field and guard Trey Burke added 19 points off the bench to lead the Utah Jazz to a win over the Brooklyn Nets. Joe Ingles added 16 points to help the Jazz (16-28) while Jarrett Jack scored 16 points for the Nets (18-26) who lost for the third time in four games. - - - Trail Blazers 103, Wizards 96 LaMarcus Aldridge delayed surgery on his injured left thumb and recorded 26 points and nine rebounds as the Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Washington Wizards 103-96. The Trail Blazers announced on Thursday that Aldridge would undergo surgery and miss 6-8 weeks, but the forward has decided to play through the ailment for as long as he can and helped the Blazers (32-13) win for only the second time in seven games. John Wall scored 25 points on 10-of-17 shooting from the field to go with nine assists for the Wizards (29-15). (Editing by Sudipto Ganguly/Peter Rutherford)
