MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) \u2014 RJ Barrett<\/a> scored 25 points, Brandon Ingram<\/a> had 17 points and seven rebounds and the Toronto Raptors<\/a> built a first-half lead, extended it in the third and coasted to a 128-96 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies<\/a> on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Rookie Collin Murray-Boyles<\/a>, the ninth overall pick last summer, added 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting to help Toronto snap a two-game skid. Murray-Boyles had a career-high 20 points against Sacramento on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Trying to avoid the Eastern Conference play-in tournament, Toronto remained seventh in the standings, through it has the same record as sixth-place Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

GG Jackson led Memphis with 30 points, and Cedric Coward<\/a> had 15. The Grizzlies lost for the eighth time in nine games. Jackson was 10 of 16 from the field.<\/p>\n

A 13-4 run by Toronto to end the first half gave the Raptors a 59-41 lead at the break. The advantage would stretch to 31 near the five-minute mark of the third, and reach 33 in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

As for the Grizzlies, as has been the case for some time, they were stuck with makeshift lineups of 10-day signees and two-way players mixed with a few regulars on the floor at any one time. By game time, 13 Memphis players were on the injury list.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Raptors: At Boston on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Grizzlies: At Milwaukee on Sunday.<\/p>\n
