MINNEAPOLIS — \u2014 Jaren Jackson Jr<\/a>. had 28 points and 12 rebounds to lead a balanced scoring attack and the Memphis Grizzlies<\/a> beat the Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a> 116-110 on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Jock Landale<\/a> added 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Grizzlies, who\u2019ve won four of five and seven of nine. Jaylen Wells<\/a> had 17 points, Cedric Coward<\/a> 13, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope<\/a> 12. Santi Aldama<\/a> grabbed 11 rebounds.<\/p>\n

Julius Randle<\/a> scored 21 points for the Timberwolves. Donte DiVincenzo<\/a> had 19 points and 11 rebounds and Rudy Gobert<\/a> added 16 points and 16 boards, but Minnesota lost for just the second time in nine games. Naz Reid<\/a> also had 16 points.<\/p>\n

Both teams played without their top scorer. Minnesota\u2019s Anthony Edwards<\/a> missed his third straight game with a right foot injury, and Ja Morant<\/a> was out for the Grizzlies with a left ankle sprain sustained in Monday\u2019s 121-103 win<\/a> at the Clippers.<\/p>\n

Memphis was also without Cam Spencer<\/a>, who missed the game for personal reasons. The guard had a career-high 27 points in the win in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

With the Grizzlies leading 106-103, Landale made his career-high fourth 3-pointer and, after Reid’s miss for Minnesota, Jackson, who had a season-high 31 points Monday, added a floater with 47 seconds left to secure the win.<\/p>\n

Down 76-67 midway through the third quarter, six Grizzlies scored in a 14-2 run, capped by 3-pointers from Landale, Caldwell-Pope and Jackson around Landale’s follow shot for an 81-76 lead.<\/p>\n

A three-point play by Reid got Minnesota within 96-94 with 7:10 to play, but another 3 by Landale with 3:22 left made it a five-point Memphis lead.<\/p>\n

Memphis forward Brandon Clarke<\/a> scored six points and had three rebounds in his first game since March 19 due to knee injuries, including arthroscopic surgery in September to relieve right knee synovitis.<\/p>\n
