Jrue Holiday scored 35 points with 11 assists and Jerami Grant added 30 as the Portland Trail Blazers defeated Memphis 122-114 to break a two-game losing streak.

Portland (30-33), making a push for the postseason, used a strong finish to seal the victory. The Trail Blazers had lost three of their last four games before Wednesday's win.

The Grizzlies, playing the second game of a back-to-back, received 24 points from Jaylen Wells and 20 from GG Jackson but fell to 3-9 in their last 12 games. Memphis continues to be without Ja Morant, who missed his 18th consecutive game with a left elbow injury.
