Edey's 32 Points, 17 Rebounds Power Grizzlies Win
Sacramento, Calif. Zach Edey delivered a career-high performance with 32 points and 17 rebounds, powering the Memphis Grizzlies to a 115-107 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Sunday night.
The 7-foot-3 center from Toronto shot 16 of 20 from the field for 80 percent efficiency and added five blocks in just 29 minutes, marking his third double-double of the season. Edey scored six points in the final 3 1/2 minutes to secure the win, helping Memphis extend its road winning streak to four games and improve to 9-12 overall with victories in five of its last six contests. The Grizzlies played without star guard Ja Morant, who continues to recover from a calf strain.
Memphis controlled much of the game, building a 13-point lead in the third quarter before Sacramento responded with a run to take an 87-83 advantage entering the fourth. The Grizzlies countered immediately with a 14-2 burst to reclaim the lead, holding off a late Kings push that narrowed the gap to 101-99. Edey nearly achieved his double-double by halftime and attempted just one free throw, dominating the paint against a Kings frontcourt missing its top interior defender, Domantas Sabonis.
