Holiday, Grant Lead Blazers Past Grizzlies

Jrue Holiday had 35 points and 11 assists, and Jerami Grant added 30 points to lead the Portland Trail Blazers to a 122-114 win over the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Trail Blazers (30-33), making a push to qualify for the postseason, used a 24-19 scoring edge over the final nine minutes to seal the win and snap a two-game skid. Robert Williams III contributed 20 points and 11 rebounds for Portland.

For Memphis, Jaylen Wells led with 24 points and GG Jackson added 20, but it wasn't enough as the Grizzlies lost their second straight. Ja Morant missed his 18th straight game due to a left elbow injury, and Zach Edey is out for the rest of the year after ankle surgery.
