The Grizzlies fall to the Boston Celtics 119-109 on a day where Boston didn’t have Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart or a typical Jayson Tatum night (credit to Dillon Brooks). Ultimately, Steven Adams is missed a lot right now. Memphis doesn’t get beat on the glass often like today. – 4:30 PM

He did light up when he was told Jayson Tatum said he’s buying him a car. He called over to Tatum in the locker room to ask if it was true. Tatum tapped on his chest… And Jaylen said “he’s lying. When he taps on his chest like that he’s lying for sure” – 1:07 PM

Luke Kennard is making his Grizzlies debut as the Grizzlies and Celtics play on ABC. Boston’s defense is one of the most versatile in the game. Dillon Brooks will draw the Jayson Tatum assignment. This should be a fun matchup.
