MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Marc Gasol scored 23 points in 29 minutes and the Memphis Grizzlies beat Maccabi Haifa 97-84 on Thursday night for their second straight preseason victory.

Starting forward Zach Randolph played just 12 minutes and had two points and no rebounds. ... Newcomer Brandan Wright had a team-high nine rebounds and scored eight points in 22 minutes.

MACCABI HAIFA: Dijon Thompson, who played at UCLA, scored 17 points on 6-of-16 shooting. ... Seven-footer Alex Chubrevich had 14 points on 6-of-10 shooting.
