Grizzlies waste 40-point Ty Jerome performance in OT loss to Pelicans

Ty Jerome may have put up a spirited effort in the dying embers of the game, but it wasn’t enough to prevent the Memphis Grizzlies from suffering their first loss of the season, 135-134, as the New Orleans Pelicans outlasted them in a back-and-forth overtime thriller. Jerome caught fire towards the end of the fourth, going on a personal 9-0 run to rescue the Grizzlies from certain defeat to force overtime. His heater would continue into the extra period, as he would score eight of his team’s 10 points during the final five minutes of the contest.
