Immanuel Quickley led the way with 26 points, joined by Pascal Siakam’s 24, as the Toronto Raptors (14-20) held off a late surge from the Memphis Grizzlies (11-23) to secure a 116-111 win on Wednesday night.
Quickley, acquired in a December trade from the New York Knicks, showcased his scoring prowess, shooting 8 of 18 from the field, including 5 of 8 from beyond the arc. Scottie Barnes contributed 20 points for the Raptors in a well-rounded offensive effort.
Despite a standout performance by Ja Morant, who led the Grizzlies with 28 points, nine assists, and eight rebounds, Memphis couldn’t close the gap against Toronto.
Jaren Jackson Jr. added 24 points, including a remarkable 13 in the fourth quarter, while Desmond Bane contributed 22 and Ziaire Williams scored 18 for the Grizzlies.
