OKLAHOMA CITY -- As theyve risen simultaneously into Western Conference contenders, the Oklahoma City Thunder and Memphis Grizzlies have quickly learned to dislike each other. In their latest slugfest, it was the Thunder who came out swinging but Zach Randolph and the Grizzlies got the win. Rudy Gay scored a season-high 28 points, Randolph added 20 points and 11 rebounds before getting ejected along with Oklahoma Citys Kendrick Perkins during a late-game altercation and Memphis beat the Thunder 107-97 on Wednesday night. Despite notching wins against defending champion Miami and runner-up Oklahoma City during their current six-game winning streak, Randolph said the Grizzlies arent claiming to have made any statements early on and are still fueled by an underdog mentality. "This is one of the best teams in the West," Randolph said. "Were trying to get where theyre at." Maybe thats why every meeting between the two seems to turn into a knock-down, drag-out fight. This one saw Perkins and Randolph confronting each other between Russell Westbrooks free throw attempts, drawing each an ejection from referee Ken Mauer with 2:05 left in the game. The two tried to approach each other while being restrained by teammates before finally heading out tunnels at opposite ends of Chesapeake Energy Arena. After the game, Randolph said all was settled between him and Perkins. "Theres a lot of bluffing going on on the court, thats all," Randolph said. "And I dont bluff." By the time the ejections took place, the Grizzlies had all but put the game away -- with Randolph and fellow big man Marc Gasol answering an Oklahoma City comeback bid punctuated by Perkins two-handed slam that cut the deficit to 97-89 with 4:18 to play. Coach Lionel Hollins called for a timeout and sent his team back out with Gasol isolated against Perkins, and Gasol twisted his way in for a layup. After a missed jumper by Serge Ibaka at the other end, Gasol set up Randolph for a layup off a designed play. That all but sealed the latest round for Memphis, which won its second straight in Oklahoma Citys home gym to add more fuel to the budding rivalry. "Thats what makes it fun," Gay said. Memphis ended up losing a seven-game series that featured a couple overtime thrillers two seasons ago against Oklahoma City and has been trying to claw its way ahead of the Thunder, who have been one step ahead in their progression so far. Sometimes the clawing gets a little too realistic. "It is an emotional game and we didnt play well and I think the referees were just trying to control the game. Throw both of them out so nothing happens," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. "I can appreciate that because with a game like that, you dont want anything crazy to happen." Kevin Durant scored a season-high 34 points and Westbrook had 17 points and 13 assists as both Oklahoma City All-Stars logged more than 42 minutes for the second straight game while trying to lead a fourth-quarter comeback from a double-digit deficit. Each played 44 minutes in a come-from-behind win Monday at Detroit, contributing to a 13-0 run to start the fourth quarter and dig out of an 11-point hole. But not this time. "Every game is important for us. Thats how we always view our games. We have 82 big games a year. We have to give everything we have each game and not worry about saving anything for the next game," Brooks said. Marc Gasol chipped in 14 points as the Grizzlies continued the best start in franchise history and moved to 7-1. They took control by outscoring Oklahoma City by 21 in the second quarter, and never gave it up. Quincy Pondexter contributed 13 points and Jerryd Bayless scored 12 as Memphis came out ahead in a tussle between teams with retooled benches. The Grizzlies let O.J. Mayo leave in free agency and the Thunder traded Sixth Man of the Year James Harden to Houston. Kevin Martin, whos filling Hardens old role, had a season-low seven points on just four shots. Pondexter and the second unit brought the Grizzlies back after theyd fallen behind 30-20 after the first quarter, getting held to just 32 per cent from the field. Pondexter hit a pair of 3-pointers and a couple free throws during a 16-6 burst to start the second quarter, and Memphis kept rolling as the starters rotated back in. Another Pondexter 3 put Memphis ahead 44-41 and the Grizzlies scored the final 10 points of the half, including a two-handed dunk by Gay off of Pondexters alley-oop, to go up 56-45. In all, the Thunder were outscored 36-15 in the second quarter while taking their turn making just 32 per cent of their shots. Memphis led by as much as 16 in the first 3 minutes of the second half. "Were doing it by committee, the whole entire team. Not just the bench, not just the starters. I think collectively were doing a really good job right now," Pondexter said. "We just have to keep this going. "I think everyone on this team is really all in, all focused and thats just helping us out right now." NOTES: Gasol also got a technical in the third quarter for taking the ball out of the net and raking it across Westbrooks face after a basket by Westbrook. ... The Grizzlies had just one turnover in the first half -- when Bayless failed to connect with Gasol on a pass into the lane and Ibaka came away with it. ... Oklahoma City reserve Hasheem Thabeet spent a few moments at halftime chatting with ex-teammates and staff on the Memphis sideline. "Im happy that hes still in the league and happy that hes doing well," Hollins said. Todd Gurley Youth Jersey . The deal runs through the remainder of this season.

They are 25-2 (including playoffs) at CenturyLink Field since the start of 2012, beating the Packers twice over that span. According to Elias Sports Bureau, this will be just the second time that a Conference Championship game will feature the NFL’s top scoring offence (Packers) vs the top scoring defence (Seahawks). Back in 1980, the Eagles defeated the Cowboys 20-7 in Philadelphia. Dallas led the league in points scored, while Philadelphia allowed the fewest. The last postseason game in any round with such a matchup was Super Bowl XLVIII (Broncos-Seahawks). Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson face off after both posted nearly identical Total QBRs in the Divisional Round last week. Including playoffs, the Seahawks are 9-0 against Super Bowl-winning QBs since drafting Wilson in 2012. The Seahawks are trying to become the first reigning Super Bowl champ to return to the big game since the 2004 Patriots. They’re also trying to become the ninth team to repeat as Super Bowl champions. No team has ever won three in a row. These teams have met two previous times in the postseason with the Packers winning both of them at Lambeau Field. 2003 NFC Wild Card – Packers 33, Seahawks 27 (OT) The Seahawks won the coin toss to start OT and Matt Hasselbeck said “We want the ball and we’re going to score.” On Seattle’s second possession in OT, Hasselbeck was intercepted by Al Harris who returned it 52 yards for the winning score. 2007 NFC Divisional – Packers 42, Seahawks 20 With snow falling at Lambeau Field, Brett Favre threw three TD passes as the Packers rolled. Ryan Grant recovered from two fumbles that put the Packers down 14-0 after only four minutes. He set a team postseason record by running for 201 yards, and scored three times. After its early failures, Green Bay scored touchdowns on six straight possessions. Thesee teams have played two regular-season games over the last 3 years, both in Seattle.dddddddddddd 2012 Week 3 – Seahawks 14, Packers 12 (The “Fail Mary”) One of the most famous endings in NFL history as Russell Wilson threw a 24-yard TD pass to Golden Tate as time expired. Tate and Packers defender M.D. Jennings both came down with the ball. Everyone seemed confused, especially the replacement officials. One signaled touchdown while another signaled a dead ball. The play was reviewed and ruled a touchdown. 2014 Week 1 – Seahawks 36, Packers 16 This season’s Thursday night opener was won easily by the Seahawks as Russell Wilson threw for 2 touchdowns and Marshawn Lynch ran for a pair. The Seahawks ran for 207 yards (110 from Lynch) and limited Aaron Rodgers to 189 yards passing.
