Jaren Jackson Jr. put together one of the best performances in Memphis Grizzlies’ history with 43 points and nine made three-pointers, however it would not be enough to stop the Bucks’ 17-game winning streak as Memphis fell 127-114 inside FedExForum on Friday night.
The Bucks got off to a hot start offensively as they opened the game shooting 52.2 percent in the first quarter. Milwaukee went on a 13-3 run in only 1:38 of play midway through the first quarter before eventually taking a 35-29 lead into the second. The Grizzlies responded in the second quarter, using a 14-5 run to tie the game at 48-48 with 4:39 remaining before half.
