The Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Milwaukee Bucks, 111-101, at Fiserv Forum on Wednesday night.

The Bucks (47-29) were coming off a surprising loss to the hapless Wizards on Tuesday, so conventional wisdom implied they certainly wouldn't lack for focus against a second straight non-contending opponent. However, Milwaukee didn't play like a team with much urgency in the first half, entering halftime with a four-point deficit. The Grizzlies (26-50) did see their lead evaporate to one point during the third quarter, but a key 9-0 run between the 6:13 and 4:17 marks of the final period gave Memphis an advantage they wouldn't concede the rest of the way.

Jaren Jackson Jr. led the Grizzlies with 35 points, supplementing them with four assists, three rebounds, three steals and one block. GG Jackson generated a 15-point, 12-rebound double-double that included one assist. Brandon Clarke supplied 14 points, seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks. Jordan Goodwin produced a 13-point, 12-rebound double-double that included seven assists.

Brook Lopez paced the Grizzlies with a 25-point, 10-rebound double-double that included one assist. Giannis Antetokounmpo tallied 21 points, eight assists, seven rebounds, five blocks and one steal. Bobby Portis registered 19 points, seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal. Malik Beasley finished with 10 points, three rebounds and two assists.

The Grizzlies return home to host the Detroit Pistons on Friday night, while the Bucks host the Toronto Raptors on Friday night as well.
