Seven Grizzlies finished in double figures Saturday night, and Memphis recorded 34 assists on 46 made field goals.

The Memphis Grizzlies beat the Brooklyn Nets 129-110 at FedExForum, one night after a 142-111 win at New Orleans. The victory moved Memphis to 9-4. Brooklyn dropped to 3-9. Attendance was 15,103.

Memphis made 9 of its 11 3-point attempts in the first quarter and led 38-23 after 12 minutes. The Grizzlies took a 71-54 lead into halftime and were up 103-84 after three quarters. Each team scored 26 in the fourth. Memphis led by as many as 26.

Cedric Coward had 23 points, 12 rebounds, and 4 assists in 32:49. He shot 7-of-13 from the field, 4-of-6 from 3-point range, and 5-of-6 at the free-throw line, with 2 steals and 2 blocks.

Taylor Hendricks scored 22 points on 9-of-13 shooting and added 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Grind City Media identified the total as a career high. His previous best was 21 points for Utah against Memphis on Dec. 23, 2025.

Javon Small scored 19 points and went 6-of-6 at the line. Cam Spencer had 17 points and 8 assists and made all 3 of his 3-point attempts. Cameron Boozer finished with 15 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists, while Isaiah Stewart and Olivier-Maxence Prosper scored 11 apiece.

Memphis shot 52.9% from the field and finished 15-of-35 from 3-point range. The Grizzlies committed 14 turnovers and forced 16, and they scored 30 points off Brooklyn's turnovers to the Nets' 15. Memphis also had 62 points in the paint, 58 bench points, and 14 fast-break points.

After the game, Grizzlies coach Tuomas Iisalo was holding a stat sheet with "a ton of career and season highs here for the team."

"Really, really fantastic performance by our guys," Iisalo said. "In the beginning we were hitting basically every shot."

What pleased Iisalo more, he said, was that Memphis "had a clear idea about how to attack in each situation."

Hendricks said in his on-court interview that the Grizzlies know they can beat anybody in the league.

"We some dogs, man," Hendricks said. "We could have made a bunch of excuses, but we didn't."

Julius Randle scored 22 points for Brooklyn on 8-of-16 shooting and had 4 rebounds and 5 assists. Day'Ron Sharpe had 16 points and 11 rebounds, 9 of them on the offensive glass. Noah Clowney added 15 points, and Danny Wolf made 4 of his 8 3-point attempts and scored 14.

The Nets won the offensive rebounding battle 19-13, and Memphis scored 23 second-chance points. Michael Porter Jr. was unavailable for personal reasons.

Iisalo said there were things Memphis could do better on the boards with the lineups it used Saturday.

"But what I liked was we were able to then punish [in] transition when Brooklyn did attack the glass," Iisalo said.

Zach Edey did not dress for left ankle injury management, which was reported before tip-off in a Grizzlies Roundtable injury update. Iisalo said Edey went through his pregame work before the staff decided against playing him.

"We're just being very cautious with him," Iisalo said. "We didn't feel like this was the right decision today to play."

Jerami Grant, ruled out against Brooklyn with a head injury, was inactive along with Ty Jerome (right hip soreness), Scotty Pippen Jr. (lumbar disc herniation), Quinten Post (concussion protocol), and Richie Saunders (right knee surgery).

GG Jackson played 2:52 and made his only shot, a 3-pointer, before leaving the game. Iisalo gave a postgame update on Jackson's injury and said Jackson will undergo further testing.

Memphis plays at Washington on Monday.
