The Memphis Grizzlies have not lost away from home yet this season.

Ty Jerome scored 27 points and Cameron Boozer added 22 as the Grizzlies beat the short-handed Toronto Raptors 118-102 on Monday night. Memphis is 5-0 on the road and 7-3 overall.

The Grizzlies are the only NBA team without a road loss. They have also won at Golden State, Sacramento, Utah and Portland. The victory snapped a three-game losing streak.

Jerome stays hot

Jerome made 9 of 19 shots, went 5 of 11 from 3-point range and hit all four of his free throws. He has scored at least 20 points in seven of nine games this season, including a career-high 45 on opening night against Utah.

Boozer, the No. 3 pick in the 2026 draft, also had seven rebounds and eight assists. Jerami Grant scored 17 and Jaylen Wells added 14.

Zach Edey had eight points and nine rebounds in his only regular-season trip to his hometown. His hook shot off a Boozer pass made it 113-97 with 3:49 left.

Toronto pushed back

The Raptors played without three starters. Kawhi Leonard missed his sixth straight game with a left knee issue. Scottie Barnes (left groin) and Immanuel Quickley (right hamstring) sat for the second game in a row.

Toronto opened the fourth quarter on an 11-5 run to cut the lead to 94-92. Memphis called timeout, regrouped and pulled away.

Jamal Shead had a season-high 20 points with 11 assists for Toronto. RJ Barrett scored 19 while Jamison Battle and Jakob Poeltl had 18 each. Memphis won the rebounding battle 45-34.

The Grizzlies were again without center Isaiah Stewart because of a right knee injury. Center Quinten Post left in the first quarter after taking an elbow to the face. Memphis hosts Denver on Wednesday while Toronto hosts Boston.
