Scouting report: With one of the league's best collections of young talent, the Grizzlies come to town having won three of their past four games. On Wednesday, Memphis pounded Chicago 107-85, and on Dec. 21, it defeated the Lakers for just the second time in franchise history. Rookies Pau Gasol and Shane Battier have lived up to their billing and then some, and point guard Jason Williams has settled in nicely, dishing out 8.9 assists per game.
