Ja Morant battled through illness to get back on the floor to help the Memphis Grizzlies but his double-double wasn't enough on Friday night. Final: Los Angeles Clippers 117 Memphis Grizzlies 106
Morant finished with a double-double 19 points and 10 assists. Jaren Jackson had 22 points while Desmond Bane scored 18. Marcus Smart scored 22 himself and did a little bit of everything on defense to lead the Grizzlies.
But it was the 54-33 rebounding edge that might have done in the Grizzlies against the Clippers. Not to mention 7 scorers in double figures for Los Angeles including 20 rebounds for Ivica Zubac. Paul George led all scorers with 23 points for the Clippers.
