Shorthanded Grizzlies outpace Heat 101-93

Despite being without four starters, the shorthanded Memphis Grizzlies grit-and-grinded their way to a 101-93 win over the Miami Heat on Monday.

The Grizzlies were without Ja Morant, Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr. due to injury. Nevertheless, they ruthlessly attacked the rim, outscoring Miami 64-24 (!!) in the painted area and were the far more efficient squad, shooting 46.7 percent with 11 turnovers compared to Miami’s 39.2 percent and 16 turnovers.

Four Grizzlies scored in double figures, led by Tyus Jones, who had a career-high 28 points with 10 assists — his second double-double of the season — with five boards on 10-of-15 shooting, including 3-of-6 from 3-point range.
