November 1, 2026 · 1:31 AM
Memphis turned a six-point first-quarter lead into an 11-point halftime cushion behind a scorching second quarter and GG Jackson’s perfect shooting from deep.
Memphis led 27-21 after one, then erupted for 39 points in the second to take a 66-55 halftime advantage. GG Jackson supplied the jolt, making all five of his three-point attempts on the way to 15 points in just over 11 minutes. Sacramento has kept pace through Darius Acuff Jr.’s 21 points and De’Andre Hunter’s 15, but the Kings still trail despite their scoring punch. After the break, watch whether Memphis can keep turning hot perimeter shooting into separation—and whether Sacramento can slow the Grizzlies’ second-quarter surge.
