Grizzlies achieve record-breaking victory with 155 points against Raptors

The Memphis Grizzlies set a franchise scoring record in their dominant 155-126 victory over the struggling Toronto Raptors on Thursday night. Jaren Jackson Jr. led the way with 21 points, 11 rebounds, and three blocks, while Zach Edey also had a standout performance with 21 points and 16 rebounds. The Grizzlies showcased their offensive firepower and put on a show for their fans in Memphis.

It’s the most points scored by any NBA team this season.

Desmond Bane added 19 points, Jaylen Wells scored 17 and Ja Morant had 15 points and nine assists as Memphis won for the third time in four games.

Toronto lost its ninth straight and fell to 1-14 on the road. RJ Barrett led the Raptors with 27 points, and Scottie Barnes added 26. Chris Boucher finished with 15.

Both teams played porous defense for three quarters and each had reached 100 points before the fourth started. A burst by Memphis in the third took the lead to 22.

The 155 points were the most given up by the Raptors this season.

The Grizzlies’ previous high for points in a game came in a 152-79 win over the Thunder on Dec. 2, 2021. That 73-point rout remains the NBA record for the largest margin of victory.
