Memphis defeated Sacramento 115–107 on November 30 at Golden 1 Center, with Zach Edey dominating inside for 32 points to lead the Grizzlies' road victory. The Kings' DeMar DeRozan and Malik Monk combined for 44 points but could not overcome Memphis's superior efficiency and rebounding control. The Grizzlies shot 52.3 percent from the field and out-rebounded Sacramento 52–34, while also connecting on nine three-pointers to Sacramento's eight. Memphis's fourth quarter proved decisive, outscoring the Kings 32–20 in the final frame after trailing by three at halftime. Sacramento's defensive rating of 108.8 proved insufficient despite forcing 23 turnovers from Memphis, and the Kings managed only 25 assists on their 107 points. The game finished below the Vegas total of 233.5, with both teams' offenses unable to fully capitalize on their opportunities. Memphis's balanced attack—28 assists and a +3.6 net rating—suggests the Grizzlies are trending upward in the Western Conference standings.
