Russell Westbrook went off again. Memphis tallied a huge fourth quarter to top Portland and more from Sunday in the NBA.
Never count out the Grizzlies

Jaime Valdez-USA TODAY SportsThe Grizzlies went into the All-Star Break as one of the hottest teams in the league, winning 10 of 12 games. But after a 10 day break, they were rusty to start things off against Portland. Midway through the second quarter Memphis trailed, 32-21. Rusty or not, the Grizzlies fought their way back into the game, tying it at 38 heading into halftime.
The teams battled back and forth through the third quarter until the Trail Blazers’ shots started to fall. The Grizzlies led, 58-55, with 6:34 left to play in the quarter before taking off, going on a 22-6 run to lead, 77-64, heading into the final quarter.

‘Hangover’ actor hits on uncomfortable interviewer
Justin Bartha, also known as the guy from The Hangover films and the National Treasure films, was interviewed at halftime of the Knicks-Cavaliers barnburner. He may have enjoyed some substances before this encounter!
This came after Bartha berated his interviewer, Jill Martin, for asking him about Bradley Cooper all the time (she didn’t).
