The Memphis Grizzlies turned in a balanced offensive performance Sunday night, rolling past the Indiana Pacers 125-106 to complete a season-series sweep.
Taylor Hendricks led the way with 19 points, while Jaylen Wells added 18. Olivier-Maxence Prosper chipped in 17 points, and both Scotty Pippen Jr. and Ryan Rupert scored 16 apiece as Memphis showcased its depth. The victory marked the third time in the past five seasons the Grizzlies have swept the Pacers.
Memphis seized control early in the second half, building a 77-66 lead just four minutes into the third quarter and never allowing Indiana to mount a serious comeback.
The Pacers were paced by Jarace Walker, who scored 21 points, while Micah Potter added 18. Indiana was without All-Star forward Pascal Siakam for a second straight game due to a sore right shooting hand.
Memphis also played shorthanded. Star guard Ja Morant missed his 17th consecutive game with a left elbow injury, and rookie Cedric Coward sat out with a knee issue. The team also announced that 7-foot-3 center Zach Edey will undergo another procedure on his left ankle. Edey has been sidelined since Dec. 7.
Despite the absences, Memphis controlled the tempo and shot efficiently to secure the double-digit win.
Up next: The Grizzlies travel to face the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night, while the Pacers continue their road trip against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night.
