The Memphis Grizzlies delivered a strong performance to defeat the Milwaukee Bucks 125-104 on December 27, 2025. Playing at home in the FedExForum, the Grizzlies used a massive third-quarter run to break open a close game and cruise to a comfortable victory. Ja Morant orchestrated the offense masterfully, finishing with 28 points and 15 assists, while Jaren Jackson Jr. added 25 points and 7 blocks defensively. The Bucks, playing on the second night of a back-to-back, looked sluggish, with Giannis Antetokounmpo's 29 points not enough to offset a poor shooting night from his supporting cast. The win was a statement for the Grizzlies as they sought to climb the Western Conference standings.
