SACRAMENTO (AP) — Zach Edey had a career-high 32 points and 17 rebounds to help the Memphis Grizzlies beat the Sacramento Kings 115-107 on Sunday night.
Edey recorded his third double-double of the season in 29 minutes, making 16 of 20 field goals. He scored six points in the final three and a half minutes to lead the Grizzlies to their fourth straight road win.
Cam Spencer had 16 points, Jaylen Wells scored 15 and Jaren Jackson Jr. and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope each added 13 points.
Playing without Ja Morant, the Grizzlies — who came back from double-digit deficits in their previous two games — led much of the way and then had to withstand a late attack by the Kings.
Sacramento trailed by 13 points in the third quarter before putting together a run to lead 87-83 entering the fourth quarter.
Memphis then went on a 14-2 run to start the fourth, and was 101-99 before Edey closed out the game down the stretch.
DeMar DeRozan scored 23 points and made three 3-pointers for the Kings. Malik Monk scored 21. Zach LaVine added 19 points after scoring a season-high 34 in a loss to the Utah Jazz on Friday.
Edey only made one free throw and nearly had his double-double before halftime.
