There's an easy fix for the Memphis Grizzlies woes. They need to have a healthy lineup and Ja Morant. Bam Adebayo had 30 points. A late Jaime Jaquez Jr. 3-pointer sealed it as the struggling Miami Heat knocked off Memphis without star guard Tyler Herro for most of the game. Herro left the game due to a pretty severe ankle turn and said, "It's probably a couple of weeks (out)." Final: Miami Heat 108 Memphis Grizzlies 102
For Memphis, the lack of production from Desmond Bane might have been the key to Miami's win. The Heat decided to key on him by doubling, switching and strategized to hold Bane to 15 points (4-16/FG). The Grizzlies exhausted a 10-man rotation while getting 28 points from Jaren Jackson Jr. and a near double-double in 30-minutes from Bizmack Biyombo (10 rebounds/9 points).
The Grizzlies next host the Utah Jazz in a winnable game at home on Friday night (11/10). Pregame at 6:30 p.m. with Jessica Benson. Tip at 7:00 p.m. with Eric Hasseltine live on 92.9 FM ESPN (680 AM/Audacy App in Memphis).
