The Memphis Grizzlies will welcome the Portland Trail Blazers to FedExForum for an NBA game on Tuesday. Memphis Grizzlies lost 128-107 in their last game over the Bulls. The Memphis Grizzlies looked as though they were well on their way to yet another win. The Chicago Bulls had other ideas. Zach LaVine scored 36 points, DeMar DeRozan added 31 and the Bulls used a huge second half to beat the Grizzlies 128-107 and overcome Ja Morant’s triple-double Sunday.
Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 31 points and made five 3-pointers for the Grizzlies, who had won eight of nine. Morant had 17 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Desmond Bane scored 21, but the Grizzlies committed 18 turnovers, leading to 31 points for Chicago. The Bulls, eyeing a spot in the Eastern Conference play-in tournament, tied a franchise low with three turnovers. LaVine had nine assists. Coby White scored 19, and Nikola Vucevic added 13 points and 10 rebounds.
The Grizzlies led by 23 in the first half and headed to the locker room up by 15 after making 13 of 25 3-pointers, only to commit 10 turnovers and get dominated 40-16 in the third. The Bulls scored the final 17 points of the quarter. “That’s how you get easy baskets,” White said. “You reach out and get deflections, get steals, get out in transition. And tonight, it helped us a lot.”
The Portland Trail Blazers on the other hand won 105-107 against the Timberwolves in their last game. Shaedon Sharpe scored 27 points, Kevin Knox II added 19 points and the short-handed Portland Trail Blazers beat the playoff-hopeful Minnesota Timberwolves 107-105 on Sunday.
Trendon Watford had 15 points and Skylar Mays finished with 13 points and nine assists in his second game with Portland, which had lost 11 of 12 and was without four regular starters. The Trail Blazers trailed by 12 late in the third quarter before rallying to beat Minnesota, which started the day ninth in the Western Conference. “Every single person that got out on that floor tonight, they gave it all they had and that’s all I want from our guys,” Portland coach Chauncey Billups said. “To play as hard as you can, play unselfish and be a good teammate and see what happens.”
