The Memphis Grizzlies and Sacramento Kings clashed in a game that had deep play-in tournament implications on Thursday. The Grizzlies took care of business at home, knocking off an inferior Kings team.
That said, the game was close until the end. It took 30 points from Dillon Brooks and a 24-13 game out of Jonas Valanciunas to seal up a win in this one.
The Kings saw a particularly strong night out of Justin James, who scored 25 points in the matchup, a new career-high.
