Randolph carries Grizzlies to win
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Zach Randolph had 23 points and 20 rebounds while Rudy Gay added 22 points to help the Memphis Grizzlies defeat the Phoenix Suns 109-99 on Monday night.
Randolph was 9 of 16 from the field and led six Grizzlies in double figures. The points and rebounds were season highs for the Memphis forward, and the fifth 20-20 game in his career.
OJ. Mayo and Mike Conley scored 16 apiece for the Grizzlies, while rookie Xavier Henry scored 14 points off the bench. Marc Gasol finished with 10 points and eight rebounds.
Grant Hill led the Suns with 19 points and Jason Richardson finished with 17. Hakim Warrick and Steve Nash had 16 points apiece. Nash also had 11 assists.
Memphis led by as many as 18 early in the fourth period, but Goran Dragic sparked a rally and got the Suns within 97-90, when he scored on a layup off a

Memphis opened the second half on a 17-8 run to stretch the lead to 72-60, the largest at that point.

The Grizzlies would stretch the margin to 93-75 in the early stages of the final period.

Washington athletic director gives apology for insulting Oregon fans
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
SEATTLE — Washington athletic director Scott Woodward issued an apology Monday for comments he made over the weekend concerning the University of Oregon.
Woodward first said on his regular segment on the Washington football pregame show Saturday from Eugene that "it's an embassment what their academic institution is, and what's happened to 'em as far as their state funding has gone. In my mind it's a wonderful athletic facility, but they've watched it at the expense of the university go really down.
"But the athletic facility is impressive. The fans at Oregon should get down on their hands and knees at night to Phil Knight and pray to him because this is an incredible facility he's built. Any of the rankings you look at, you watch how far they've (Oregon) dropped because of their state funding.
"And it's a message for us, too. Our state needs to get its act together because we can't continue to progress without investment in our institution. But we're doing extremely well and we're very proud of that fact. We're a part of the whole University of Washington. That's who we are."
He elaborated on those comments to The Seattle Times, saying, "It's embarrassing at the level that the state supports this once-great academic university because it's gone way down in academic standing because of the enormous lack of support over the decades.
"What they have done here athletically is nothing short of a miracle. It is fabulous what they have invested and how they have done it. But it is a shame that the whole enterprise isn't benefiting (from the athletic success) and that's one thing that is very much a sense of pride at the University of Washington, that our whole enterprise is excellent in
all we do."
Monday, he released a statement saying: "I apologize if my comments were found as critical or insulting to fans and alumni of the University of Oregon, and I hope to offer some clarity about my true feelings on the situation.
"I have a great respect for the University of Oregon both as an institution and an athletic program. As a lifelong advocate for public funding in higher education, I have seen firsthand the effects of public funding on many institutions, including the University of Washington.
"My remarks were intended as a commentary on the powerful impact that a state can have on an institution's academic standing. The University of Oregon is a great example of the struggles which can accompany a university when state funding decreases, but UO is certainly not the only institution suffering."

Orlando Magic continue reign over Atlanta Hawks
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ORLANDO, Fla. — Dwight Howard had 27 points and 11 rebounds, and the Orlando Magic continue their recent reign over the Atlanta Hawks with a 93-89 victory Monday night in a rematch of last season's lopsided Eastern Conference semifinal.
Vince Carter finished with 19 points and made two huge layups in the final minute-plus to seal the Magic's victory, the 11th in the last 12 meetings over Atlanta. Jason Williams also had eight points and eight rebounds to fill in for an injured Jameer Nelson.
Joe Johnson had 23 points and Al Horford scored 16 for the Hawks, who have lost two games in two days after winning their first six this season.
the Hawks would buckle — as they did so often against Orlando last season — they came back. Even when Josh Powell took a scary fall in the fourth quarter after being fouled hard by Howard in a midair collision, Atlanta's backup power forward refused to leave the game and tied the score at 72 with free throws.
But the rematch of last season's playoff series had a decidedly different feel.
Almost every time it seemed
They just couldn't close it out. Carter had a running layup with a little more than a minute left to put Orlando in front by four points, but Johnson came back with a 3-pointer for Atlanta on the following position.
Thev just couldn't close it out.
Carter followed with his most spectacular and timely play of the young season. He used a pick-and-roll with Howard to free himself, drove down the lane and finished with a left-handed layup as he was fouled by Horford to give the Magic a 91-87 advantage and seal the victory. Carter let out a roar, flexing his muscles and

At least this one was close
Orlando won those four playoff games by an average of 25.3 points in a total blowout between teams that finished second and third in the conference. It was the most lopsided four-game sweep in NBA playoff history.

They went ahead by 13 points in the first quarter, getting Howard in foul trouble and using a bigger lineup to frustrate Orlando's front line. Atlanta used more of a motion offense instead of just isolation plays for Joe Johnson — who had a miserable series against the Magic last season — to follow a formula that finally seemed like it would work.

But Orlando came back with a furious push from some unexpected places: Backup center Marcin Gortat dove for loose balls and injected some life into the crowd; J.J. Redick penetrated into the lane for layups and Vince Carter found his shot for a pair of 3-pointers.
The result was a 19-2 run between the first and second quarters that gave a the Magic a 29-25 lead, returning things to the usual script in this often one-sided series.

UCLA hammers NAIA's Westmont
LOS ANGELES — It was a good thing the uniforms read Westmont across the front instead of, say, Western Michigan.
Even a mid-major Division I team might have fully exposed the defensive breakdowns that UCLA suffered Thursday during an exhibition game against the NAIA Warriors.
As it was, the Bruins' shortcomings were mostly obscured by a snapping offense that generated plenty of crowd-pleasing dunks and lavups in a 95-59 victory.
That's not to say the shoddy defense escaped the attention of Ben Howland, though. The Bruins coach was particularly vexed by his team's tendency to get beat off the dribble.
"As you play against better and better people," Howland said, "if we get beat off the dribble that easily, we'll be in for long days and long nights."
There were plenty of theories as to why the defense struggled. Sophomore forward Reeves Nelson said it stemmed from being lackadaisical when UCLA ran off to a big lead. Sophomore forward Tyler Honeycutt said fatigue was a factor, the Bruins still working themselves into game shape.
