In the third quarter the Grizzlies found themselves needing to shake off the same problems that led to a 6-game losing streak.
But this time, they showed the resolve necessary for a win. Hello, momentum? dailymemphian.com/section/sports… – 12:02 AM

Most clutch wins in this young NBA season: Dallas 5 (5-0), Golden State 4 (4-1), and 3 apiece by Lakers, Blazers and Spurs. – 11:43 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
That Bismack Biyombo addition could be a really good one. The Grizzlies don’t need him to score. His rebounding and defense against guards on the perimeter and blocking shots in the paint was huge. – 11:38 PM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
Not gonna lie, there was a part of me wondering about a possible stealth tank for Memphis, but even if they fall out of the playoff race in these non-Ja games, it’s probably just more important for them to maintain a positive culture for Ja to return to than to add a top pick. – 11:26 PM

Grizzlies 112, Blazers 100: FINAL. 27 points, 3 rebounds/assists for @JeramiGrant. 18 points, 11 assists, 7 rebounds for Malcolm Brogdon. 18 points, 8 rebounds for @ShaedonSharpe. 6 points, 11 rebounds for @DeandreAyton. – 11:26 PM
Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Memphis showing some serious resolve in this game.
Lots of encouraging signs early, lost their footing and could have folded up, but fought right through it.
A team that really needs a win is a minute from doing it. – 11:24 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
The Grizzlies are up nine with 1:28 left. A 23-2 run. Impressive fourth quarter on both ends – 11:23 PM
Casey Holdahl @CHold
Kennard three pushes Memphis’ lead to 109-100 with 1:28 to play. Blazers have been outscored 22-2 in the last 6 minutes. – 11:23 PM
Casey Holdahl @CHold
A 14-2 Memphis run. Grizz doing to the Blazers when the Blazers did to the Grizz in the fourth quarter of Friday’s meeting. – 11:17 PM
Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Tie game. Obvious the Grizzlies want this one badly. Need to keep up defensive effort. – 11:16 PM
Casey Holdahl @CHold
Grizz with 7-straight too cut Portland’s lead to 98-93 with 6:44 to play and Billups will call time too cool it down. – 11:11 PM
Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
There ya go, stopped the bleeding. Thought Memphis responded well in the second quarter after a Portland run. Need to repeat that here. – 11:11 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Luke Kennard dribbled for like 15 seconds before one pass to Jaren Jackson Jr. and the end of the possession. Offense has to be better in the fourth quarter for the Grizzlies to win this one.
End of 3: Blazers 86 Grizz 82 – 10:58 PM
Casey Holdahl @CHold
Aldama and Camara get tangled up, Aldama called for a flopping technical though I imagine we’re going to get a lengthy review here before anything is put in the game book. – 10:51 PM
Casey Holdahl @CHold
Toumani gets a GENEROUS bounce on a three then gets an offensive rebound/putback on the next possession. Blazers trail 80-78 with 2:48 to play in the third quarter. – 10:46 PM
Sean Highkin @highkin
3 straight threes for Jerami Grant to start the second half after going 0-6 from deep in the first half. Everything throughout this game has been a market correction. – 10:28 PM
Tom Haberstroh @tomhaberstroh
Shaedon Sharpe continues his all-around production.
11 pts, 7 reb, 3 ast, 1 blk on 68.8 TS% at halftime
He is now tied for the Blazers’ season lead for blocks.
20-year-old shooting guard. 📈📈📈 – 10:13 PM
Chris Herrington @ChrisHerrington
Big close to the half from Jaren, but Aldama finally finding the floor and Kennard finally finding his shot is a huge boost to what had been a flatlining offense. – 10:12 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Halftime:
Grizzlies 63 Blazers 55
Memphis ended the half on a 16-5 run. The bench is playing better with guys like Luke Kennard and Santi Aldama back in the fold. Kenneth Lofton Jr. and Jacob Gilyard also gave Memphis good minutes. – 10:12 PM
Casey Holdahl @CHold
Grizzlies 63, Blazers 55: halftime. 14 points, 5 assists for Malcolm Brogdon. 14 points, 2 rebounds/assists for @JeramiGrant. 11 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists for @ShaedonSharpe. Jaren Jackson with 16 (and still hasn’t been called for a defensive foul in 6 straight quarters) – 10:11 PM
Casey Holdahl @CHold
Blazers 32, Grizzlies 30: end of first quarter. 10 points, 4 assists for Malcolm Brogdon. 8 points, 1 rebound/assist for @JeramiGrant. 6 points, 3 rebounds for @ShaedonSharpe. POR shooting 50 percent, MEM also shooting 50 percent. – 9:41 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
The positive is having Santi Aldama back. A nice boost to the bench.
… and Kenneth Lofton Jr. getting some minutes – 9:30 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Timeout Grizzlies.
Portland 22 Memphis 11
First double-digit lead this season for the Blazers. – 9:26 PM
Casey Holdahl @CHold
Grant with his fourth made of the first quarter and the Grizzlies have to call another timeout down 22-11 with 5:25 in the quarter. – 9:26 PM
Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
So that makes
Xavier Tillman
John Konchar
Derrick Rose
Steven Adams
Brandon Clarke
Ja Morant
Out
And Santi Aldama back in – 9:19 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Portland already has three players outscoring Grizzlies by themselves just over two minutes into the game … – 9:16 PM
Mike Vorkunov @MikeVorkunov
Not a good look for the Grizzlies to get their first win when the Blazers are already giving them the business a little over two minutes in. – 9:16 PM
Casey Holdahl @CHold
Blazers make their first four shots, including two three-pointers, and the Grizz have to call time down 10-2 with 9:53 to play in the first quarter. – 9:16 PM
Brad Townsend @townbrad
First quarter blues: Mavs were outscored by SA 43-36, by Memphis 36-30, by Denver 40-24, and tonight by 31-26.
They did outscore Brooklyn 26-25 and Chicago 26-23. – 8:08 PM
Sean Highkin @highkin
Chauncey Billups says Toumani Camara is going to test his wrist in warmups and then decide whether he can go tonight or not. – 7:19 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Pistons needs to find the swag they had in the first 18 quarters of the season, up to second half against Portland.
Things just haven’t been there since that fumble. – 4:22 PM
