<\/div>On the last day (Day 7) of the NBA<\/a> pre-restart scrimmage, the Heat<\/a> came up against the Memphis Grizzlies<\/a> in the first matchup of the night, while the Suns<\/a> matched up with the Raptors<\/a> in the following game. Take a look at the game summaries for both NBA games:<\/p>\n The Heat handed a first start to Bam Adebayo<\/a> in the NBA scrimmage. The first-time NBA All Star had gone missing due to a right ankle injury that has been bothering him since March. Jimmy Butler<\/a> moved back to the starting lineup as well, with Duncan Robinson, Meyers Leonard and Kendrick Nunn rounding it out.<\/p>\n The Grizzlies started with Jaren Jackson Jr, Kyle Anderson and Jonas Valanciunas in their frontcourt. Probable NBA Rookie of the Year Ja Morant<\/a> and Dillon Brooks brought up their backcourt.<\/p>\n The game was played at the relatively young Grizzlies’ pace from the jump. While the Heat held the lead early in the first quarter, the Grizzlies found their range from 3-point territory and finished the period with a 41-33 lead. They went from strength to strength from that point, holding a lead as big as 25 points at times in the 3rd quarter.<\/p>\n Ja ended up as the best performer of the game, bagging 12 dimes and racking up 22 points on 15 shots. Butler and Bam had good outings for the Heat.<\/p>\n <\/strong>‘There is a chance that they might turn us off’ – NBA legend Charles Barkley emphasizes the need to balance social justice messages<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The Phoenix Suns trotted out their usual starting lineup of Devin Booker<\/a>, Ricky Rubio, Cam Johnson, Mikal Bridges and DeAndre Ayton<\/a>. The Raptors also fielded their full-strength big man lineup featuring Lowry<\/a> and van Vleet in the backcourt, with Siakam<\/a>, Ibaka and Marc Gasol<\/a> in the frontcourt.<\/p>\n The Suns took an early lead in the game, and barring a short period in the 3rd quarter, were in total control of the game. Mikal Bridges went for a game-high 26 points to go with 5 assists, while Ricky Rubio complemented him with 22 points on 13 shots. Booker largely played a facilitator’s role, with 7 assists and 9 points.<\/p>\n Ayton’s amazing paint defense led to very few buckets for the Raptors’ bigs. Siakam was their top scorer on 17 points, mainly getting his points from the 4 3-point shots he made on 5 attempts. Lowry had 7 assists and made 3 of his 7 3-pointers. The rest of the game was largely forgettable for both teams.<\/p>\n Tags:<\/b> Amulya Shekhar <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NBA Scrimmage: Grizzlies dominate the Heat<\/h2>\n
