MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Mike Conley scored 22 points, including 10 straight in the fourth quarter, and had eight assists to lead the Memphis Grizzlies to a 101-91 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night.

Conley, who was 7 of 12 from the field, including 4 of 7 from outside the arc, scored his 10 straight points to hold off the Nets who were trying to rally from a double-digit fourth-quarter deficit.

Zach Randolph and Courtney Lee scored 15 points each for Memphis with Randolph grabbing 13 rebounds. Jeff Green finished with 13 for the Grizzlies.

Bojan Bogdanovic scored 19 points and Jarrett Jack finished with 15 for the Nets (0-3). Brook Lopez had 12 points and 10 rebounds, while Joe Johnson and Thaddeus Young added 11 points each for Brooklyn.

Memphis held its largest lead of the game at 88-72 with 7:42 left. But Brooklyn cut the deficit to 92-84 when Johnson scored inside.

In the midst of that, Conley was on his run, managing not to let the Nets get the lead under eight until less than a minute was left.

Jack hit a 10-footer in the lane with 55.2 seconds left to cut Memphis' lead to 97-91. The Grizzlies scored the final four points, including two free throws by Conley for the final margin.

Both teams got strong performances from bench players in the first half. Bogdanovic had 11 points for the Nets and Thomas Robinson contributed eight points and 10 rebounds.
