The Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 135–115 on February 6 at Moda Center, surpassing the Vegas total of 235.5 points combined. J. Grant led Portland with 23 points, while J. Holiday added 20 as the Blazers shot 54.4 percent from the field and made 17 three-pointers. Memphis's C. Spencer scored 18 points and G. Jackson contributed 15, but the Grizzlies managed only 47.7 percent shooting and committed 16 turnovers. Portland's second quarter proved decisive—the Blazers outscored Memphis 43–28 in that frame to build a commanding lead. Portland's offensive rating of 128.3 and defensive rating of 111.4 reflected their control; they also dominated the glass with 46 rebounds to Memphis's 37. The Grizzlies' 12 steals could not overcome their offensive inefficiency and 37 total rebounds, as Portland's balanced attack—31 assists on 135 points—proved too much to overcome. The win strengthens Portland's playoff positioning while Memphis faces questions about consistency on the road.
