Dillon Brooks scored a career-high 37 points for Memphis. The Grizzlies lost for the second time in their last 12 games. Powell scored 20 in the second half to give the Trail Blazers their second straight victory after they snapped a seven-game losing streak with a home victory over Charlotte on Friday night.
