Ty Jerome leads Grizzlies past Nuggets 125-118 to stop 8-game slide
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) --- Ty Jerome had 21 points, nine rebounds and nine assists
as the Memphis Grizzlies snapped their eight-game losing streak Wednesday night
with a 125-118 victory over the Denver Nuggets.
Olivier-Maxence Prosper scored 19 points and GG Jackson added 16 for the
injury-depleted Grizzlies (24-44), who are 4-15 in their last 19 games after
winning for the first time since March 1 at Indiana.
Cedric Coward provided 15 points and seven rebounds. Taylor Hendricks scored 13
off the bench and made six of Memphis' 12 steals as the Nuggets (42-28)
committed 19 turnovers in the makeup of a game postponed Jan. 25 because of bad
weather.
Nikola Jokic had 29 points, 14 rebounds and nine assists for Denver, just
missing his sixth triple-double in the past eight games --- although he did
rack up 10 turnovers.
Christian Braun scored 26 points and Cameron Johnson added 20. Denver, which
began the night percentage points behind Houston for fifth place in the Western
Conference, fell a game behind fourth-place Minnesota.
On the second night of a back-to-back for the Nuggets, forward Aaron Gordon sat
out to manage a hamstring injury. Denver beat Philadelphia 124-96 at home
Tuesday night.
Jerome just missed his first career triple-double. He and Jackson sat out
Monday night's 132-107 loss in Chicago due to injuries.
