MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Jaren Jackson Jr. had 21 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks, Zach Edey also scored 21 points and grabbed 16 rebounds, and the Memphis Grizzlies set a franchise record by eliminating the skidding Toronto Raptors 155-126 on Thursday night.
The 155 points are the most of any NBA team this season and came despite the Grizzlies having no players who scored more than 21 points.
Desmond Bane added 19 points, Jaylen Wells scored 17 and Ja Morant had 15 points and nine assists for Memphis, which had seven players with at least 15 points, tying for the most in a game in NBA history.
The Grizzlies won for the third time in four games.
Toronto lost its ninth straight, falling to 1-14 on the road. RJ Barrett led the Raptors with 27 points, and Scottie Barnes added 26. Chris Boucher finished with 15.
Both teams played porous defense for three quarters, each reaching 100 points before the fourth began. A Memphis burst in the third pushed the lead to 22.
Takeaways
Raptors: Despite the skid, Toronto had played close games recently. Of the previous seven, only one was decided by more than 10 points.
Grizzlies: Memphis leads the NBA in scoring at 122.7 points per game, and the Grizzlies scored 78 points in the first two quarters – the most in a half this season.
Memphis was already up 127-103 with 10:29 to go when Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic went to official JT Orr and complained about calls. Orr issued one technical foul, but Rajakovic kept coming as players tried to contain him. Orr then called another technician and sent a steaming Rajakovic to the locker room.
The Grizzlies had a season-high 24 offensive rebounds, which led to 33 second-chance points – also a season-best.
Toronto hosts the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday. The Grizzlies begin a five-game trip in New Orleans on Friday.
