The Memphis Grizzlies have now won 10 straight games, extending a franchise record, after knocking off the Golden State Warriors, 116-108, on Tuesday night.

Ja Morant led the Grizzlies with 29 points and eight assists, while Ziaire Williams, Tyus Jones, Brandon Clarke, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Desmond Bane all scored in double figures.

Memphis led by as many as 18 early in the game, but the Warriors came back with a strong third quarter. The Grizzlies finished strong with Morant putting Memphis up six in the final minute with a layup and a drawn foul.
