Achiuwa added 22 in a balanced offensive effort. The Kings shot 50.0 percent from the field and 10 three-pointers, compared to Memphis's 48.3 percent shooting and 12 made threes, yet Sacramento's superior efficiency proved decisive. Sacramento dominated the rebounding battle 45–37 and held a defensive rating of 109.8 against Memphis's 115.0, signaling tighter perimeter defense. J. Small paced the Grizzlies with 21 points and O.

The Kings' turnover discipline (15 turnovers to Memphis's 17) and seven blocked shots underscored their defensive versatility. This road victory strengthens Sacramento's playoff positioning and demonstrates their ability to win in hostile environments.
