J.Valančiūnas scored 16 points (7/10 doubles, 2/2 penalties) in 34 minutes and bounced up to 19 balls, 7 of which were knocked out of attack.
The Lithuanian center stood out and was impressive, which was not hampered by the close competitor.
The Lithuanian also provided 2 assists, took over the ball and committed 2 fouls. When the JV was on the field, the Grizzlies scored 6 more points than the guests.
It was already the 27th double-double for J.Valančiūnas this season, as many as nine NBA basketball players have accumulated, but the only Lithuanian records such a result playing less than 30 minutes per game.
With him, Morant with 29 points was the most productive among the winners, Dillon Brooks added 24 points.
This was the “grizzly’s” third win in the last four games.
The Boston team managed without Kemba Walker and Jayson Tatum, who are among the top three players on the team.
Jaylen Brown scored 27 points for the losers, Jeff Teague scored 26 and Robert Williams added 17.
The Celtics were 9 points behind midway through the fourth quarter, but eventually caught up with their opponents, with a Daniel Theis overturn, with 7.3 seconds to go.
In the end, however, the Grizzlies managed to celebrate a difficult victory, despite the fact that the Memphis basketball players of the Celtics team had never won in the last 10 games.
For the last time at home, the Grizzlies team had defeated visitors from Boston on January 10, 2016.
The next game will be played by the Grizzlies on Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
