The Memphis Grizzlies secured a strong win over the Miami Heat, fueled by a dominant performance from Jaren Jackson Jr., who poured in 31 points to lead his team to victory. In a game that saw momentum swing early and often, it was Jackson’s consistency on both ends of the floor that gave Memphis the edge.
From the opening tip, the Grizzlies played with energy and physicality, setting the tone against a Heat squad that struggled to find rhythm. Jackson came out aggressive, knocking down shots from the perimeter and attacking the paint with confidence. His ability to stretch the floor opened up lanes for teammates and created matchup problems that Miami couldn’t solve.
The Grizzlies also got key contributions from their supporting cast. Desmond Bane added 18 points, while Santi Aldama chipped in with 12 off the bench. Memphis’ defensive pressure forced turnovers and limited Miami’s top scorers, frustrating the Heat throughout the night. Bam Adebayo led the way for Miami with 20 points and 9 rebounds
