Most of the drives ended in similar fashion — with Morant’s shot rolling off the rim, and the Grizzlies point guard staring at referees waiting on them to blow whistles that rarely came.
Ja Morant returned to the lineup after missing five games and led the Grizzlies (24-14) with 27 points. Houston (25-12) was led by center Alperen Sengun, who finished with 32 points and 14 rebounds.
