CHICAGO --Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant broke the franchise record for most points in a regular-season game with 46 on Saturday night as he powered his team to a 116-110 victory over the Chicago Bulls.
Morant broke Mike Miller's previous record (45 points) set in 2007. The third-year guard set the overall record for points in the playoffs last season, when he scored 47 points in a Game 2 loss to the Utah Jazz.
The Grizzlies on Saturday hung on after letting a 17-point lead shrink to one and came away with the win after losing two in a row.
