The Memphis Grizzlies beat the New Orleans Pelicans 142-111 in NBA Cup group play, marking their sixth consecutive road win. Multiple outlets describe Memphis as controlling the matchup with strong shooting and teamwork at the Smoothie King Center.
Several reports focus on how scoring was spread across the roster. The Inquirer.net and Winnipeg Free Press highlight that Memphis matched an NBA record by having 10 players reach double figures in scoring. Yahoo Sports and Inquirer.net also provide individual scoring details, including Jerami Grant’s 22 points.
Yahoo Sports adds game-specific shooting and defensive numbers, saying Memphis hit 18 of 45 from three-point range and limited New Orleans to 7 of 31 from deep. It also notes the Grizzlies’ road start as the best in franchise history and the best road record in the NBA, framing the result as part of a longer run rather than a one-off performance.
