HOUSTON -- The Houston Rockets got the confidence-building win they needed before heading on the road for their next six games. Soccer Jerseys China . Kevin Martin scored 16 points, Kyle Lowry had eight rebounds and nine assists, and the Rockets beat the Phoenix Suns 99-81 on Friday night. Chase Budinger added 12 points and 10 rebounds for the Rockets, who got another strong effort from their reserves to beat the Suns for only the second time in the last nine meetings. Courtney Lee and Patrick Patterson also scored 12 points apiece off the bench for Houston. The play of the reserves gave valuable rest to the Rockets starters leading up to their road trip, which begins Saturday night in Minnesota. The Rockets reserves scored 50 points and pulled down 23 rebounds. They also preserved Houstons big lead in the second half to let the starters rest before Saturday nights game in Minnesota. "The bench is really getting that chemistry together," Budinger said. "Were getting used to playing with one another, we start finding where guys like the ball, and also were bringing energy out there. Were trying to run more." Houstons bench is averaging 49 points over the past five games. "It is challenging, just because youre going against NBA players every night," Patterson said. "But when youre clicking like that, were running the offence, were utilizing our advantages and its great. We can do that with any team. Its just all about playing hard and just doing it." Lowry said it was also the kind of performance the entire team needed after losing badly to Minnesota on Monday and then blowing a 19-point lead in San Antonio on Wednesday. "We played well, we got the ball out fast, we got up and down, made some shots and got it going early," Lowry said. Marcin Gortat had 15 points and 12 rebounds and Shannon Brown scored 12 for the Suns, whove lost five of their last seven. Houston had a 49-39 rebounding edge and held Steve Nash to six points and nine assists. Nashs only made baskets were two 3-pointers, and he also coughed up four turnovers. "We were having problems scoring," Nash said. "We hung pretty close for the first eight minutes or so, then instead of going back to getting the game closer, we let it get away from us." Nash had four assists in the first six minutes, and the Suns took an early 14-13 lead. Nash and Grant Hill went out for a rest with 3:50 left in the first quarter, and Houston finished with a 15-6 spurt to take a 30-20 lead. The Rockets reserves shot and rebounded well early in the second quarter to preserve the double-digit margin. Nash and Hill returned, but Houston stayed in control, stretching the lead to 45-28 on Budingers 3-pointer from the corner. Houstons bench scored 21 points in the second quarter, and the Rockets led 59-39 at the break. Houston outrebounded Phoenix 29-18 in the first half, with Luis Scola, Lowry and Patterson grabbing six boards apiece. The Suns offence continued to sputter in the third quarter, even with Nash on the floor. Phoenix started the second half 4 for 10 from the field, and the deficit hovered around 20. Phoenix couldnt slow Houston much, either. The Rockets shot 43 per cent (9 for 21) in the quarter and led 80-61, despite five turnovers. Most of the starters from both teams sat out the final quarter, getting valuable rest since both play again Saturday. The Suns fly home to meet Charlotte, then face a demanding two-day trip with games in Atlanta on Monday and Milwaukee on Tuesday. "We need to play harder and play grown-man basketball and not get pushed around," Phoenix coach Alvin Gentry said. "You have to compete and match energy with energy. I wasnt pleased with anything we did." The Rockets held Phoenix to 19 points in the fourth to win for the 21st consecutive time when holding their opponent below 90 points. Notes: The Rockets first-half points total was a season high. ... Houston sent first-round draft pick Marcus Morris to Rio Grande Valley, the teams developmental league partner. The 6-foot-9 Morris was selected by Houston with the 14th overall pick, just after his twin brother Markieff was taken by Phoenix.

Zach Randolph scored nine of his 22 points in the fourth quarter and also had 10 rebounds to lead the Grizzlies to a 97-86 victory over the slumping Sacramento Kings on Sunday. Memphis was an efficient team offensively that played strong defence last season. That same formula has worked well in two straight victories that have evened the Grizzlies record at 5-5. Memphis shot just over 55 per cent and had a season-best 30 assists. The Grizzlies blocked four shots, played the Kings tough inside, and limited Sacramento to 38 per cent shooting. "Its where we are as a team, thats the important thing," Memphis coach David Joerger said. "Were trying to lay the foundation back down to who we are as a team. Zach and Marc (Gasol) were beasts and Mike Conley was really efficient today. " Gasol had 19 points, nine assists and eight rebounds against the Kings, which followed a similar effort Friday night in a victory over the Lakers. "I always try to be who I am and I always help out," Gasol said. "I really dont care about numbers. I really dont. Teams go through struggles during stretches of the season. Ours have come to start the season. We just want to keep getting better." The Grizzlies led by 20 points in the third quarter and survived a second-half rally by the Kings to win their second straight on their four-game road trip that includes tough games Monday against the Clippers and Wednesday at Golden State. The Kings cut the margin to 82-79 on Travis Outlaws 3-pointer with 7:18 left. But Memphis responded with seven unanswered points for a 10-point lead, then put it away when Randolphs basket from close range made it 93-82 with 1:29 left. "Zach is playing well right now," said Conley, who also had 19 points and nine assists. "When hes got it going like that and is in a zone, we try to get him the ball." Outlaw helped fuel the Kings comeback and scored a season-high 18 points. The Kings have lost two straight and seven of eight. Isaiah Thomas added 15 points and Marcus Thornton had 12. Kings centre DeMarcus Cousins, who came into the game averaging 22.8 points, had nine points in 19 minutes. Cousins and the rest of the Kings starters, with the exception of Luc&nnbsp;Mbah a Moute, sat out the final 19 1/2 minutes. cheap jerseys. "Thats a talented team that went to the Western Conference finals last season," Kings coach Michael Malone said. "They shoot 56 per cent and get 48 points in the paint. We cant give forth the effort we were tonight if we want to compete against a team like that." Outlaw, who didnt play in the first half, made his first five shots before finally misfiring in the fourth quarter. He made 6-of-9 shots overall, including a pair of 3s. Outlaw came off the bench for 11 points and Thomas added eight in the third quarter, when the Kings finally demonstrated some offence and outscored Memphis 31-27 to pull within 74-65 heading into the fourth. The Grizzlies came out strong in the third quarter and built the lead to 61-41. Appearing to be upset with his defence, Malone pulled his starters with just under eight minutes left. The Sacramento reserves outscored the Grizzlies 24-13 the remainder of the quarter. "The biggest thing I saw was effort," Malone said. "We had guys playing like they cared." Gasol had 13 points for the Grizzlies in the opening half, when they held a 47-34 lead. Cousins had nine points for the Kings, who shot 32 per cent. It was a sluggish start to the second quarter for both teams, who combined for nine points in the first six minutes of the period. Despite the slow start, Memphis still outscored the Kings 22-16 in the quarter. "Once again I thought out offence dictated our defence," said Kings point guard Greivis Vasquez, who had eight points, all in the first half. "We just have to be more mature and understand if we dont make shots we have to put out effort defensively." Notes: Tony Allen was the fourth Memphis starter in double figures with 12 points. .. Patrick Patterson, who began the season as the Kings starting forward, bruised his left knee in Fridays loss to Detroit and was unavailable against the Grizzlies. . Reserve guard Jerryd Bayless made all three shots and had seven first- quarter points in just under three minutes of playing time. .
