The Memphis Grizzlies didn’t wait long to erase the bad taste of Friday’s loss.
The Grizzlies dominated on both ends of the floor Saturday night against the Miami Heat, earning a 125-91 win at FedExForum.

Memphis was without Ja Morant, who missed the game due to right shoulder soreness, but his teammates gave him a good reason to rest.
Jaren Jackson Jr. led the Grizzlies (43-25) with 31 points. Desmond Bane added 22 points to go with 10 rebounds and eight assists.
Miami (29-38) was led by Kel’el Ware, who had 19 points and 11 rebounds, and Bam Adebayo, who finished with 18.
This was the Grizzlies’ fifth win in their past six games. After Friday, Jackson admitted that it would take some games to get back to where he was before the ankle injury that had sidelined him recently. But he looked dominant on both ends against the Heat.
