Grizzlies Outlast Kings Behind Bench Scoring Despite Ja Morant's Ejection

Memphis secures a 115-110 home victory with 60 points from their reserves, overcoming a tough night for their star guard.

The Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Sacramento Kings 115-110, powered by 60 points from their bench players, including 18 from Marcus Smart and a double-double from Santi Aldama.
Ja Morant was ejected in the fourth quarter after receiving two technical fouls during a rough performance, scoring just 8 points on 2-of-13 shooting.
Sacramento's reserves struggled, contributing only 15 points compared to Memphis' deep rotation, which proved decisive in the game's outcome.
DeMar DeRozan led the Kings with 26 points, while Malik Monk added 23 in his third consecutive start, but the team fell short in the final minutes.
Memphis extended their home winning streak to seven games and now sits fourth in the Western Conference standings with an 8-2 record in their last 10 games.
