MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) – Jaren Jackson Jr. had 21 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks, Zach Edey also scored 21 points and grabbed 16 rebounds, and the Memphis Grizzlies set a franchise scoring record in blasting the trailing Toronto Raptors 155-126 on Thursday night.

That’s the most points scored by an 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 dropped 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 start of the fourth. A burst by Memphis in the third led 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 December 2, 2021. That 73-point rout remains the NBA record for the largest margin of victory.
