No Memphis player scored more than 23 points Saturday night, yet the “Memphis Grizzlies” still reached 129 in a victory.
Cedric Coward led seven double-figure scorers as the “Brooklyn Nets” fell 129-110 at FedExForum.
The matchup was the second night of a “back-to-back” that opened Friday with a win at New Orleans.
Memphis improved to 9-4 on the season, while Brooklyn dropped to 3-9 following the loss.
The Grizzlies spread 34 assists across their roster and made 52.9 percent of their field-goal attempts.
Memphis coach Tuomas Iisalo explained that the team relies on a flow offense to maximize its offensive pace.
“Tuomas Iisalo says GG Jackson II’s left foot injury looks relatively serious” after the player left the game early.
Memphis also scored 30 points off 16 Brooklyn turnovers during the contest.
Coward emphasized the team defensive mindset after the final whistle sounded.
“Grizzlies rule out Zach Edey vs. Nets; center to miss second straight game” due to left ankle injury management.
Despite playing without Edey, Memphis secured the decisive home victory.
