Tyus Jones scored 22 points in Ja Morant's starting spot, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane chipped in 21 apiece and the Memphis Grizzlies overcame the absence of their star to overpower the visiting Golden State Warriors 131-110 on Thursday night. Playing for the third time since Morant left the team in the aftermath of a gun incident, the Grizzlies continued a year-long excellence on their home floor, beating Golden State for the first time in three tries this season. Facing the Warriors at home after the first two meetings had been in San Francisco, the Grizzlies exploded for a 48-point first quarter en route to a 20-point lead.
