Holiday, Grant Lead Blazers Past Grizzlies

Jrue Holiday had 35 points and 11 assists while Jerami Grant added 30 points as the Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 122-114 on Wednesday night.

Holiday and Grant combined for 65 points to lead Portland (30-33) to victory, snapping a two-game skid. The Trail Blazers used a 24-19 scoring edge over the final nine minutes to seal the win despite Memphis getting double-figure scoring from seven players.

Memphis lost their second straight and for the ninth time in 12 games. Ja Morant missed his 18th straight game due to a left elbow injury, while Zach Edey is out for the rest of the year after ankle surgery.
