The Grizzlies built a double-digit lead in the third quarter and extended it to 20 points early in the fourth following three consecutive 3-pointers in under a minute. GG Jackson started the flurry, Jerome followed 39 seconds later, and Jaren Jackson Jr. capped the run.

Minnesota made a late-quarter push to cut the lead to nine points at 130-121 after a three-point play by Edwards, but Memphis held firm. Coward’s driving dunk with 1:09 remaining secured the win at 134-121.

Memphis played without star guard Ja Morant, who missed his sixth consecutive game with a left elbow sprain and is expected to be out for two more weeks. The Grizzlies were also without five other rotation players, including key reserve Santi Aldama (knee).

After leading most of the first half, Memphis opened up an eight-point halftime advantage, which they extended to 14 midway through the third quarter.

The Grizzlies made 10 of 18 3-pointers in the first half and reached a high of 14 points in the second quarter at 51-37.

Memphis will begin a five-game road swing on Wednesday in Sacramento.
