TORONTO (AP) --- Ty Jerome scored 27 points, Cameron Boozer added 22 and the
Memphis Grizzlies improved to 5-0 on the road this season by beating the
short-handed Toronto Raptors 118-102 on Monday night.
Memphis is the only NBA team without a road loss this season. They've also won
at Golden State, Sacramento, Utah and Portland.
Jerami Grant scored 17 points and Jaylen Wells had 14 as the Grizzlies snapped
a three-game losing streak and won for the fifth time in six trips to Toronto.
Boozer had eight rebounds and eight assists. Zach Edey had eight points and
nine rebounds in his lone regular-season visit to his hometown.
Memphis was without center Isaiah Stewart (right knee) for the second straight
game. Grizzlies center Quinten Post left in the first quarter after being
elbowed in the face while defending Jamison Battle's drive to the basket.
Jamal Shead had 20 points and 11 assists for the Raptors, who played without
three starters.
Kawhi Leonard (left knee) missed his sixth straight game, while Scottie Barnes
(left groin) and Immanuel Quickley (right hamstring) each sat for the second
straight.
The Raptors were also without reserve forward Collin Murray-Boyles, who sat out
because of an illness.
RJ Barrett scored 19 points for Toronto. Battle and Jakob Poeltl each had 18
and Ja'Kobe Walter added 12.
The Raptors won their opening two games of the season but haven't won
back-to-back games since.
