Record-breaking performance: Grizzlies set new franchise high with 155 points in victory against Raptors

This is the highest point total scored by any NBA team this season.

Desmond Bane added 19 points, Jaylen Wells scored 17 and Ja Morant had 15 points and nine assists as Memphis won for the third time in four games.

Toronto lost its ninth straight and fell to 1-14 on the road. RJ Barrett led the Raptors with 27 points, and Scottie Barnes added 26. Chris Boucher finished with 15.

Both teams played porous defense for three quarters and each had reached 100 points before the fourth started. A burst by Memphis in the third took the lead to 22.

The 155 points were the most given up by the Raptors this season.

The Grizzlies’ previous high for points in a game came in a 152-79 win over the Thunder on Dec. 2, 2021. That 73-point rout remains the NBA record for the largest margin of victory.
