PORTLAND, Ore. New England Patriots Store . -- There is something about returning to Portland that brings the best out of Memphis forward Zach Randolph. Randolph did another number on his former team Tuesday night, finished with 23 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Grizzlies to a 98-81 victory over the Trail Blazers. Mike Conley had 19 points and seven assists, and Marc Gasol added 15 points and eight rebounds for the Grizzlies (23-20), who won their third straight and seventh in eight games. LaMarcus Aldridge finished with 27 points and 16 rebounds as the Blazers (33-13) suffered their most lopsided defeat of the season. Portland registered a season low for points scored and had their home winning streak snapped at five games. Randolph registered his 27th double-double of the season as a franchise record-setting 190th for the Grizzlies, who never trailed. Portland fell to 18-5 at home. Randolph, who played his first six seasons with the Blazers, averaged 22.7 points on 52.9 per cent shooting in seven previous visits. "Its always fun to come back," said Randolph, who scored 13 of his 23 points in the first half as the Grizzlies opened a 61-46 lead. "This is where I started, man. Thats just the kind of player that I am." The Grizzlies, picking up where they had left off in Saturdays 99-81 home win over Houston, shot 58.3 per cent in the first quarter against the Blazers and jumped in front 31-22 behind Randolphs 11 points. "It was important for us to get off to a fast start and we did," Randolph said. "We had great offence during the game, but our defence was the key." The Grizzlies held Portland, averaging a NBA-leading 109 points a game, to 34.5 per cent shooting two nights after the Blazers shot a season-low 33.7 per cent in a 103-88 loss at Golden State. "Memphis saw blood and they lunged at our jugular," Blazers centre Robin Lopez said. "I really think we kind of slashed our own throat in a way, which kind of let them run away with it." Aldridge was 6 of 7 in the first quarter and Nicholas Batum converted a three-point play that pulled Portland within 24-22, but Memphis outscored the Blazers 7-0 over the final 2:20 of the period to open a nine-point cushion. "We were in attack mode on both ends of the floor," Grizzlies coach David Joerger said. "Most of the night, we were the aggressors." Memphis connected four times from 3-point range in the second quarter, including one by Courtney Lee that extended the lead to 57-39 with 3:39 to play in the half. Damian Lillard connected from 3 for Portland to start the fourth quarter, sparking a 23-13 run that cut the deficit to 94-81 with 2:27 to play. "It was a disappointing game, needless to say," said Blazers coach Terry Stotts, whose team was playing its ninth game in 14 nights. "We got off to a slow start. We caught a team thats trying to put it together. Theyre on a roll and theyre playing very well. They showed that in the first half." Lillard finished with 16 points, Lopez had 14, and Batum 10 for the Blazers. "Were in a rough patch right now," Lillard said. "Were not shooting the ball very well and weve got to defend better. Weve played so well, we were due for a rough patch and a little bit of adversity." The Grizzlies remain in fourth place in the Southwest Division but are gaining ground. "Were getting our chemistry right," Randolph said. "I dont want to say were right there or that were hitting our peak, but its coming. As long as we keep working hard and playing 48 minutes, we give ourselves a chance to compete with anybody." NOTES: Aldridge recorded his 22nd game with at least 20 points and 10 rebounds, second most in the league behind Minnesotas Kevin Love (26). . With his 15th point Tuesday, Aldridge passed Cliff Robinson for third among Portlands all-time leading scorers with 10,406 points. Aldridges 27 point brought his career total to 10,418. .

New England, 3-1 after winning their first three games without the suspended Brady, were beaten in all areas of the game by Buffalo, who shut out the Patriots on their home turf for the first time since 1993. Fan Predictions: Graves v the Vikings Richard Graves makes his week five picks against the Minnesota Vikings UK fan base! Across the team, a united message rang out: performance in week four was below the standard Patriots players set for themselves, and each member of the roster was responsible for the outcome, not just the returning quarterback. Brady was reinstated this week after a four-game suspension, arising from the 2014 AFC Championship game against the Indianapolis Colts, where Brady and the organisation were found guilty of deflating game balls and violating the integrity of the game. Fans protested Bradys suspension, but the quarterback will return in week five to play the Cleveland Browns He was banned from Gillette Stadium, training with the team and even talking with team-mates about NFL matters, but now he returns to face the Cleveland Browns in week five.Sky Sports takes a look at just how important the three-time Super Bowl MVP is.Clutch under pressureWith the game on the line or under pressure in tight situations, Bradys ability to read defences and change play calls gives him the edge over his opposition. His foot movement in the pocket, protection of the ball and ability to open up passing channels buys himself the time to look down field and make the crucial throws. In third and short situations, it is Bradys anticipation and accuracy that stands him apart. Throwing into space and allowing the oncoming player to continue their run allows the Patriots to grab the extra yards and move the chains. The quarterback has always appeared comfortable on the NFL stage throughout his 15 years as a starter. From his first Super Bowl in 2001, where he led a game-winning drive to upset the St Louis Rams, through to last season where he led the league with 37 touchdown passes despite losing three members of his offensive line and both starting running backs.Natural leaderThe Patriots locker room is full of leaders, and that did not all just disappearr when Brady was suspended. Joe Cardona Jersey. The team rallied around their stand-in quarterbacks Jimmy Garoppolo and Jacoby Brissett, and utilised the other talents on the team to claim victories over Arizona, Miami and Houston. Brady leads the team by example and gets the best out of his receiving talent However, Bradys quality on the pitch and his ability to empower other players heightens the team performance and has led to 12 AFC East division titles.The quarterback often shies away from the media spotlight and prefers to lead by example. He will have every opportunity to show a commanding presence once again against Cleveland on Sunday.Coach relationshipThis is the longest and most successful coach-quarterback pairing in history, the Patriots making six Super Bowls and winning four in the Brady-Belichick era. Head coach Bill Belichick plucked Brady from the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft and gave the quarterback his chance following an injury to Drew Bledsoe.A man who goes by talent rather than status, Belichick was the ideal coach for a young quarterback who worked harder than anyone to get himself noticed.Brady is able to take criticism from his head coach because he knows that Belichick understands his mindset and the expectations he sets for himself. Both football obsessives, the pair meet twice a week to pour over strategy, game film and masterminding the next Patriots victory. Brady and Belichick have worked together since the quarterback entered the league in 2000 Record-breakerBottom line: Tom Brady knows how to win. He has won 12 NFC East titles, six conference championships and has more play-off victories than any other quarterback (22). Brady has 194 wins in the NFL, six behind Peyton Manning and, barring a disaster, will eclipse his old rival this season. The Patriots QB leads in passing yards, completions, touchdown passes and, most importantly, Super Bowl rings. One more would take him level with linebacker Charles Haley, and stand him alone in quarterback successes. With great surrounding talent and inheriting a one game advantage, 2016 could be Bradys year. Watch all the action unfold on Sunday night with NFL Redzone on the red button from 5:30pm.
