The Postgame Cleanup is brought to you by ServiceMaster. The Memphis Grizzlies fell to the Toronto Raptors 116-107 Friday night at FedExForum, the first game of a home back-to-back.
Memphis controlled tempo from tip-off, leading by as many as 17 as four Grizzlies reached double-digit scoring by halftime. Despite 15 third quarter points from guard Tyreke Evans, the most in a single period by any Grizzlies player this season, Toronto would rally behind a 19-5 run to erase a 12-point Grizzlies lead (78-66) and take a two-point edge (85-83) with 2:46 left in the quarter.
Evans led all scorers with 27 points on 10-of-19 shooting for his 10th 20-point performance of the season.
