Grizllies Beat Nets 134-124 As Morant, Bane Drop 38 Points Each

The Memphis Grizllies beat the Brooklyn Nets 134-124 in NBA on Tuesday.

The Grizzlies' Ja Morant and Desmond Bane dropped 38 points each at FedExForum in Memphis. They also made 7 assists each.

"I felt good about everything," said Bane, who dropped 19 points in the second period.

"A lot of the misses were in-and-out, back rim. I feel like that's just kind of getting my legs back under me. I knew it was just a matter of time before I caught my rhythm," he added.

The Brooklyn Nets' Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving scored 37 points each but their efforts were not enough to avoid a defeat.

"The 3-point line killed us," Durant said, adding: "It was that 3-point line that separated us. The fact that they knocked down more 3s than us, that's the name of the game now. Even if you're not playing well or up to par with your opponent, if you're making 3s, you give yourself a chance."

The Grizzlies stand second in the Western Conference standings with three wins while the Nets placed 10th with one win.
