Morant back, Grizzlies top Rockets, clinch 1st in Southwest | |
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) Ja Morant finished with 17 points and five assists in his return to action after a league-imposed suspension and Jaren Jackson Jr. had season-high 37 points and 10 rebounds as the Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Houston Rockets 130-125 on Wednesday night and clinched first place in the Southwest Division. Desmond Bane finished with 20 points and Tyus Jones 14 for Memphis, and each added seven assists as the Grizzlies claimed their second consecutive division title. Morant, who did not start, was back in action after missing nine games - eight because of an NBA suspension. The NBA assessed the suspension after a live stream from a Denver-area strip club earlier this month showed Morant briefly waving a firearm. Morant underwent counseling at a Florida facility for stress relief during the suspension. MORE | |
