Dillon Brooks scored 21 points and Desmond Bane added 18 as the Memphis Grizzlies led by as many as 37 in a 128–101 rout of the visiting Sacramento Kings on Sunday.

Jaren Jackson Jr. tallied 17 points and nine rebounds and Brandon Clarke added 15 points for Memphis, which led wire-to-wire in its first game since star guard Ja Morant suffered a sprained left knee in Friday’s loss to Atlanta.
