MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Jaren Jackson Jr. had 28 points and 12 rebounds to lead a balanced scoring attack and the Memphis Grizzlies beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 116-110 on Wednesday night.

Jock Landale added 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Grizzlies, who’ve won four of five and seven of nine. Jaylen Wells had 17 points, Cedric Coward 13, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope 12. Santi Aldama grabbed 11 rebounds.

Julius Randle scored 21 points for the Timberwolves. Donte DiVincenzo had 19 points and 11 rebounds and Rudy Gobert added 16 points and 16 boards, but Minnesota lost for just the second time in nine games. Naz Reid also had 16 points.

Both teams played without their top scorer. Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards missed his third straight game with a right foot injury, and Ja Morant was out for the Grizzlies with a left ankle sprain sustained in Monday’s 121-103 win at the Clippers.

BULLS 127, CAVALIERS 111

CHICAGO (AP) — Josh Giddey scored 23 points as part of his sixth triple-double this season, Coby White added 25 and the hot-shooting Chicago Bulls beat the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Giddey had 11 rebounds and 11 assists. He also matched a career high with five 3-pointers. Nikola Vucevic added 20 points and nine rebounds in the opener of the home-and-home series.

The Bulls shot 56.2% overall and made 14 of 36 3-pointers on the way to a rather convincing win after losing eight of nine. They led by 15 in the third quarter and went on a run in the fourth to break the game back open on the way to a rare win over Cleveland. They had dropped 12 of 13 against the Cavaliers.
