Grizzlies Edge Bucks, 113-110
The Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Milwaukee Bucks, 113-110, at FedEx Forum on Thursday night.

The Bucks (35-21) came in looking to enter the All-Star break with some momentum after an uneven start to the Doc Rivers era, but it was the Grizzlies (19-36) that emerged from the opening quarter with a 29-26 lead. Milwaukee managed to erase that slim deficit before halftime, but Memphis' 37-28 advantage in the third quarter gave the hosts a seemingly convincing edge going into the final period. Nevertheless, the visitors would hold a 102-101 lead with 3:29 remaining before the Grizzlies' 12-2 run over the following 2:40 and a missed three-point attempt by Damian Lillard at the buzzer sealed the upset win.

Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with a 35-point, 12-assist double-double that included four rebounds. Lillard supplied 24 points, seven assists, five rebounds and one steal. Bobby Portis furnished 15 points, seven boards and two assists. Brook Lopez generated a 14-point, 11-rebound double-double that included two assists, four blocks and two steals.

Ziaire Williams and GG Jackson co-led the Grizzlies with matching 27-point tallies, with Williams adding four rebounds, three assists and three steals. Vince Williams Jr. posted an 18-point, 12-rebound double-double that included seven assists and two steals. Lamar Stevens recorded 13 points, five rebounds, one assist and one steal. Jordan Goodwin delivered 11 points, seven rebounds, three assists and two steals. Trey Jemison finished with 10 points, six rebounds, two assists and one block.

The Bucks return to action after the All-Star break on Feb. 23 with a road date against the Timberwolves, while the Grizzlies also return on that same date and host the Los Angeles Clippers.
