Minneapolis, MN (SportsNetwork.com) - Teddy Bridgewater had a touchdown pass and Blair Walsh kicked a pair of field goals as the Minnesota Vikings closed out the season with a 13-9 victory over the Chicago Bears. Bridgewater was 17-of-25 for 209 yards with an interception for the Vikings (7-9), who snapped a two-game losing streak. Matt Asiata carried the ball 19 times for 91 yards. Great team win and great to finish the season on a good note, said Bridgewater. Learned a lot this year and overcame a ton of adversity. Great men with great character. Jay Cutler, back under center after being benched for last weeks game, was 23-of-36 for 172 yards for the Bears (5-11), who dropped their final five games of the season to finish last in the NFC North. I thought every week guys came to work, said Cutler. We had good game plans and the effort was always there, week in and week out. After missing the playoffs for a seventh time in the past eight years, Chicago might be looking to clean house as head coach Marc Trestman and general manager Phil Emery are on the hot seat. I dont have to go into the reasons I expect to be back, said Trestman. I couldnt look at it any other way, or any other focus. My plan is to continue to finalize my notes now that the season is over so that if the opportunity rises I will be able to explain how we fix this thing. Minnesota scored on its first touch of the game, as a 13-play, 61-yard drive was finished off with a Walsh 37-yard field goal with 4:59 to play in the first quarter. Minnesota converted a pair of third downs on the drive. The Bears werent able to put points on the board until late in the first half, as Jay Feely kicked a 48-yard field goal with just 55 seconds showing on the clock. Alshon Jeffery caught a 19-yard pass on a 3rd-and-8 to keep the drive going. The Vikings started the second half with the ball, but Bridgewater was picked off by Kyle Fuller, leading to a 25-yard field goal from Feely less than two minutes in. Minnesota, though, came right back to take the lead, as Bridgewater went deep down the right side for Adam Thielen, who came down with the ball for a 44- yard score, the first of his career. A 44-yard field goal from Walsh with 11 1/2 minutes to play in the fourth made it a 13-6 game. Chicago got a big return from Marc Mariani on the ensuing kickoff, as he brought the ball 67 yards down to the Minnesota 35. However, the team moved just 18 yards and Feelys 35-yard field goal made it a four-point game with under nine minutes to play. Minnesota was able to eat over six minutes of the clock on its next touch and drove the ball down to the Chicago 3. Facing a 4th-and-1, though, Asiata was stuffed. Cutlers pass on fourth down was complete to Martellus Bennett, but he fell a yard short to turn the ball over on downs, and Bridgewater went into the victory formation.

The Grizzlies will visit the Denver Nuggets on this short trip and have a 10-4 record away from home this season. Memphis has won back-to-back games following a four-game slide and recorded a 95-87 triumph over the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday. Mike Conley finished with 30 points, seven rebounds and six assists, while Marc Gasol chipped in 17 points and nine boards for the Grizzlies. We executed defensively, Gasol said. Offensively I think we did a pretty good job of moving the ball. The Grizzlies led 30-20 after the first quarter and held the defending champion Spurs to 18 points in the second stanza. They made 48.6 percent from the floor and played without forward Zach Randolph for a fifth straight game due to a sore knee. Randolph is questionable Friday and Gasol is probable with an illness. Z-Bo is posting an average of 16.1 points and 11.4 rebounds, while Gasol averages 20.1 points and 8.3 boards.dddddddddddd Memphis has won eight of its last 12 games and is fifth in opponents scoring at 97.2 ppg. The Lakers won for the second time in the last eight tries with Tuesdays 111-103 triumph over the Nuggets, as Kobe Bryant recorded a triple-double of 23 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds. It was Bryants 21st career triple-double. Very very efficient ... an old-school Oscar Robertson style, said Bryant, who is fourth in the NBA with 24.1 ppg. Carlos Boozer scored 19 points, Ronnie Price added 18 and Wesley Johnson added 16 points for Los Angeles, which shot 52.6 percent. Los Angeles is 4-11 at home and will also host Indiana on the stay. The Lakers are last in opponents scoring at 109.0 ppg and hope to have Ed Davis Friday versus the Grizzlies. Davis (broken nose) is probable. LA is 0-2 against Memphis this season and will visit FedExForum March 6. The Grizzlies have won four in a row and eight of the last 10 games in this series. Memphis is unbeaten in its last three road games in this series.
