That Thad Young had one of his best games of the season in Memphis is no surprise, the veteran Raptors forward’s ties to the city run deep, in good times and bad. Memphis is home: sportsnet.ca/nba/article/wh… – 9:07 AM

@michaelgrange
After a 4-3 road trip the Raptors are still in 12th place, and — by the numbers at least — remain pretty sketch defensively. But hey, the vibes seem better and the schedule gets easier so … all in for the play in? sportsnet.ca/nba/article/af… – 8:58 AM

The Grizzlies have lost 8 of their last 9 games 😬 pic.twitter.com/S4p9UVTlR7 – 9:06 PM


@JLew1050
Of the 38 players who have attempted at least 40 shots in the clutch (+/- 5 points in the last 5 minutes), Scottie Barnes (24-for-40) is tied with De’Aaron Fox (48-for-80) for the league lead in field goal percentage (60%).
He was 3-for-3 tonight, including the go-ahead bucket. – 9:00 PM


@DrewHill_DM
Memphis is No. 1 in the NBA in 3rd quarter scoring and No. 28 in 4th quarter scoring. – 8:48 PM


@JLew1050
People thought this road trip was going to be make or break for the Raptors. Not sure it was either of those things, but a 4-3 record is a successful result. They return home & play 1 more game (Wed vs San Antonio) before the Thurs trade deadline. Should be an interesting week. – 8:41 PM


@DamichaelC
Can’t lose games like that one. The Grizzlies led by as many as 15 points in the second half. This team is really struggling to close games right now. That’s losses in 8 of the last 9.

@vivekmjacob
in a vacuum, the raptors went 4-3 on a west coast trip (the franchise’s most successful 7-game west coast trip) with the 3 losses coming to teams a combined 55-26 at home.
does it feel like it when thinking big picture? NOPE. – 8:30 PM

@ekoreen
‘Topes win! 106-103. Huge performances off the bench for Boucher and Thad. Barnes was clutch down the stretch with 16 and 7. Some of the better Raps defence of the trip down the stretch. – 8:28 PM

@michaelgrange
After all of that, the Raptors go 4-3 on their epic trip, scrap it out vs. short-handed Grizzlies with 106-103 win. Schedule gets lighter from here too. Seven Raptors in double figures, led by Siakam with 19. – 8:28 PM

@KeithSmithNBA
Raptors went 4-3 on their crucial road trip after which they reportedly told teams they would buy or sell.
Guess you gotta keep everyone and buy now! – 8:28 PM

@JLew1050
So accustomed to this Raptors team finding creative and increasingly painful ways to lose, it’s weird to see them find a way to win. Great late-game executive on both ends. They outscored Memphis 28-17 in the 4th quarter and held the Grizz to 1 field goal in the final 5 minutes. – 8:28 PM


@DrewHill_DM
Grizzlies blow another 4th quarter lead. They have dropped 8 of 9 games. – 8:26 PM

@SmithRaps
A Fred VanVleet block and two Siakam FTs?
Yep, odd night indeed
Raptors up 3, 7.7 seconds left – 8:25 PM






@JLew1050
Scottie Time. Barnes has 13 of his 16 points in the 4th quarter. He’s hit 6 of his 7 shots, including the go-ahead bucket with 20 seconds left. Raptors by 1. – 8:20 PM

@DamichaelC
Scottie Barnes just went right into the chest of Jaren Jackson Jr. and gave the Raptors a late lead. Memphis is down 104-103 with 20.7 seconds left. – 8:19 PM

@geoff_calkins
Maybe there was no gun. The NBA didn’t find there was one, after all. But there was still a lesson for Ja Morant. Column: dailymemphian.com/subscriber/sec… – 8:19 PM

@ekoreen
Barnes, right at the likely DPOY, with a monster move to give the Raptors the lead. – 8:19 PM


@ekoreen
How does Desmond Bane finish off all those weird-angled layups with those stubby arms? – 8:02 PM

@JLew1050
If this isn’t Thad Young’s best game as a Raptor, it’s gotta be pretty damn close. – 8:01 PM




@JLew1050
Chris Boucher and Thad Young: 28 points on 16 shots off the bench. They’re both +11 in a game that the Raptors trail by 7. The biggest reason(s) they’re hanging around. – 7:59 PM

@SamQuinnCBS
Kinda thinking about Fred VanVleet as a Mavs target with their remaining picks.
Their backcourt would be tiny and Luka would have to defend forwards, but he’s the only guy out there with a track record defending Curry, he’s a great shooter and having tertiary ball-handling helps – 7:54 PM

@SmithRaps
Grizzlies by 8 going into the fourth; not entirely sure how that happened, feels like it should be 18 – 7:53 PM

@SmithRaps
I’d suggest this is token resistance from the Raptors but that’d be unfair to tokens – 7:37 PM


@ekoreen
Scottie Barnes still struggles on the ball, but the number of plays he makes in passing lanes/on the back end is substantial. – 7:30 PM


@JLew1050
Grizzles came in ranked 24th in 3-point shooting and shot 42% from deep in that 1st half. Even without Morant and Adams, they’re 13-for-14 inside 10 feet. Overall, not a bad half for the Raptors, who are within 3 points, but the defence hasn’t been anywhere close to good enough. – 7:09 PM

@DamichaelC
Halftime: Grizzlies 62 Raptors 59
Desmond Bane leads them Grizzlies with 19 points. Santi Aldama, starting at small forward, has 15 points. Memphis shooting 57.5%. Raptors shooting 47.2%. – 7:08 PM


@SmithRaps
Raptors down 3 at halftime; certainly not a defensive clinic either way
Raptors are Raptoring – 7:08 PM

@DamichaelC
Tyus Jones told Taylor Jenkins, “I didn’t foul him.” He was right. The call is overturned. – 7:06 PM

@DrewHill_DM
Taylor Jenkins is using his challenge in the first half to try to prevent three free throws for Gary Trent.
Tyus Jones was adamant that he didn’t foul. – 7:04 PM

@SmithRaps
Raptors getting stops and, lo and behold, they’re ahead
Funny, the correlation – 6:57 PM

@DrewHill_DM
Raptors take their first lead after a triple by FVV. On an 11-2 run.
55-53 2Q 3:43 – 6:57 PM




@SmithRaps
Boxscore says Grizzlies shooting 60 per cent from the field. That feels about 25 per cent light – 6:51 PM



@memgrizz
+3 after the first 12. keep pushing.
📺 @GrizzOnBally | 📻 @929espn pic.twitter.com/gxGFzxbUHu – 6:42 PM




@DamichaelC
Santi Aldama is a problem, and he still has so much more room to grow. 12 points in the first quarter Vs. Toronto. The Grizzlies hit on that draft pick. – 6:38 PM

@JLew1050
Raptors closed the 1st quarter on a 17-8 run to cut a 12-point deficit to 3. They’ve got a early 11-0 advantage in bench scoring – no, that’s not a typo. – 6:38 PM

@SmithRaps
Grizzlies up 3 after a quarter, Raptors on pace to take 60 three-pointers which is probably not playing to their strengths – 6:38 PM



@memgrizz
BREAK IT DOWN 🙅♂️
@Desmond Bane x @Xavier Tillman pic.twitter.com/i8g3YNl0YX – 6:27 PM



@SmithRaps
Grizzlies shooting 75 per cent from the floor and by all means Toronto should trade its best defensive player this week – 6:23 PM

Bane and Tillman are here to give Raptors fans all the nightmares tonight – 6:14 PM


@michaelgrange
The city of Memphis gave Thad Young his start and his identity and in return the Toronto Raptors veteran forward has given Memphis his time, wisdom and heart: sportsnet.ca/nba/article/wh… – 6:02 PM


@claybailey9

In non- Kyrie news, the Grizzlies will be without 3 starters vs the Raptors tonight. No Ja Morant (wrist), Steven Adams (knee) or Dillon Brooks (suspension). Jaren Jackson Jr, who was questionable, will play. – 5:13 PM

Grizzlies say Jaren Jackson Jr. (RT Thigh Soreness) is active and available tonight vs Raptors.
Ja Morant (Wrist Soreness) is inactive along with Steven Adams (Knee PCL Sprain). – 5:08 PM

@DamichaelC
Ja Morant will not play today due to left wrist soreness. Therefore, he won’t be available to reporters after the game. – 5:08 PM

@DrewHill_DM
Ja Morant in Cleveland on Thursday: “Anything, when it comes to being negative with the Grizzlies, we normally get the punishments. It ain’t the same.”
Why do you think that is?
“Most hated. They hate us.”
Why not?
“We don’t like them. I’m standing on that.” 1/2 – 5:06 PM

A couple of notes on Nets & Kyrie Irving, including members of BKN touching base with TOR on a deal during their negotiations with teams on Irving: pic.twitter.com/B85X5iliCH – 5:03 PM

@DamichaelC
Ja Morant hinted in Cleveland on Thursday to reporters that there was something going on behind the scenes. He called the Grizzlies “the most hated.”
“It’s a little situation going on now, I ain’t gone speak on it yet. If some sh*t don’t change, y’all gone hear me speak on it.” – 4:59 PM

@BrandonRahbar
Ja likely gets the starting All Star spot due to voting, but just wanted to drop this.

The Nuggets are 4.5 games clear of the Grizzlies for the No. 1 seed in the West. They’re tied with the Celtics for the best record in the NBA.

There was a real chance the Mavericks were never going to get another All-Star if they didn’t move on Kyrie.
They just didn’t have the assets to win a bidding war against the Knicks, Thunder, Rockets, Jazz, Pels or Grizzlies.
They had to do this here and now. This is their shot – 3:38 PM

@SamQuinnCBS
The Mavericks can still trade first-round picks in 2025 and 2027.
They still have plenty of room for improvement. They could use another big wing to replace Finney-Smith. Anunoby is probably out of their price range, but could they swing Kyle Kuzma? Alex Caruso? – 3:33 PM

With Curry out for the All-Star Game, expect Ja Morant to get bumped up to being a starter. He was third in fan (and player and media) voting. – 2:20 PM

I’m guessing Ja Morant will be elevated to start the All-Star Game. He was third in fan voting and overall in the guard voting.
Who replaces Stephen Curry will be interesting. De’Aaron Fox? Anthony Edwards? Someone else? – 1:36 PM

The @Memphis Grizzlies have recalled Jake LaRavia and Kennedy Chandler from the @MemphisHustle.
