The Memphis Grizzles fell to the Washington Wizards 115-87 on Friday Night inside Capital One Arena. The Wizards had seven players score in double-figures, led by Montrezl Harrell’s 18 points on the second-unit.
Memphis put together their best offensive quarter of the night in the first, but it would be downhill from there. The Grizzlies scored 31 points in the first quarter, including nine points from Jaren Jackson Jr. However, Jackson shot 2-for-2 from the floor in the opening period, but was held to 2-of-12 shooting the rest of the evening. Washington came out strong on the offensive end as well, shooting a blistering 71% from the field in the first 12 minutes.
