Brooklyn Nets vs Memphis Grizzlies Box Score on Jan 04, 2019

D'Angelo Russell totaled 23 points and 10 assists as the visiting Brooklyn Nets made enough plays down the stretch to record a 109-100 victory over the slumping Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night.

Russell shot 7 of 16 from the floor, and he amassed at least 20 points and 10 assists in consecutive games for the first time in his career. He became the first Net to get at least 20 points and 10 assists in consecutive games since Deron Williams in the 2012-13 season.

Russell recorded his fourth double-double. His 17th game with at least 20 points helped the Nets win for the 11th time in 14 meetings and avenge a double-overtime home loss to Memphis on Nov. 30.

Reserve DeMarre Carroll hit a season-high five 3-pointers and added 20 points for the Nets. Joe Harris contributed 18 points while reserve Spencer Dinwiddie chipped in 13 for Brooklyn, which shot 45.6 percent from the floor, 38.2 percent from 3-point range, and won its third straight visit to Memphis.

Mike Conley led all scorers with 31 points after going scoreless for the first time in more than three years on Wednesday in a loss to the Detroit Pistons. Conley shot 10 of 20, but his performance was not enough as Memphis lost its fourth straight and fell for the 11th time in 14 games.

Rookie Jaren Jackson Jr. added 19 points but Marc Gasol was held to 13 as the Grizzlies shot 45.2 percent and missed 19 of 24 3-point tries.
