SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Desmond Bane made six 3-pointers and scored 31 points as the Memphis Grizzlies defeated the winless Sacramento Kings 125-110.
“Shots are falling,” Bane said according to AP. “Early on I was getting similar looks and now I kind of got my legs under me and (now) they´re falling.”
Ja Morant added 22 points, six assists and five rebounds for Memphis.
Earlier this week, Morant and Bane each scored 38 to help the Grizzlies beat Brooklyn 134-124.
“Back-to-back performances show you how good he is,” Morant said. “I don’t feel like I’ve got to say it when you can see it.”
Brandon Clarke had 16 points, Tyus Jones added 14 and Jake LaRavia scored 13 off the bench for the Grizzlies (4-1).
“We talk about being ready to go,” LaRavia said. “Coming off the bench is a little bit harder but we came with energy and played with energy.”
De´Aaron Fox had 27 points and six rebounds to lead Sacramento. Harrison Barnes scored a season-high 20 points and rookie Keegan Murray added 18.
“It was just the little things that killed us,” Barnes said. “Offensive rebounds … 50/50 balls … The theme in a lot of these games is close but not enough and eventually we’ve got to get over the hump.”
Domantas Sabonis finished with 11 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists. Sabonis has three double-doubles this season.
The Kings trailed by 16 early in the fourth quarter and cut it to six with 9:22 left before Memphis pulled away.
