Back at their winning, grizzly form are the Memphis Grizzlies. 

Zach Edey and Jaren Jackson Jr. recorded double-double outings to power a resounding Grizzlies bounce-back win at the Toronto Raptors’ expense, 155-126. 

Jackson Jr. accounted for 21 points and 11 rebounds while Edey tallied 21 markers and 16 boards as the six other Memphis players reached double-digit scoring. 

It was a much-needed home win for Memphis (21-10), who will embark on a six-game road trip starting tomorrow at New Orleans in facing the Pelicans. 

Meanwhile, Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett combined for 53 points to pace Toronto, who hasn’t registered a win since December 4. 

The loss put Toronto to 7-24 this season as one of the worst three teams in the East alongside the Charlotte Hornets (7-23) and the Washington Wizards (5-23).
