Taylor Hendricks made a career-high five 3-pointers and scored 19 points, Jaylen Wells added 18 points and Olivier-Maxence Prosper chipped in with 17 to lead the Memphis Grizzlies to a 125-106 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Sunday in Indianapolis.
The Grizzlies won their second straight game following a three-game slide. Memphis also got 16 points from Scotty Pippen Jr., 16 points and six rebounds from Rayan Rupert and 14 assists from Walter Clayton Jr., a franchise-record total for a Grizzlies rookie.
The Pacers lost their sixth straight game and their 10th in the last 12 outings. Jarace Walker led Indiana with 21 points, including four 3-pointers. Micah Potter added 18 points and nine rebounds and Jay Huff contributed 14 points.
Memphis led by eight after three quarters and extended the lead to 102-88 with 8:45 left. Indiana trimmed the margin to five points after a Walker 3-pointer with 6:12 to go before the Grizzlies ripped off a 17-1 run for a 121-100 lead to put the game out of reach. Rupert scored 10 points during the run.
The Grizzlies never trailed in the second half.
Memphis played without guard Ja Morant, who missed his 17th consecutive game with a left elbow injury. The Grizzlies also were without rookie starter Cedric Coward and top reserves Ty Jerome and Santi Aldama because of injuries. Big man Zach Edey has missed most of the season with an ankle injury and is not expected back following news Sunday from the Grizzlies that he will undergo a second procedure on his ankle.
Indiana was minus four-time NBA All-Star Pascal Siakam, who missed his third straight game with a wrist injury. Obi Toppin appeared in his second straight game after being sidelined with a stress fracture in his right foot in late October. On a minutes restriction, Toppin played only 11 minutes but had four points, four rebounds and five assists.
Memphis led 65-60 at the half behind nine 3-pointers, including four from Hendricks. Indiana shot 52.4% overall in the first half.
