Healthy bodies were hard to come by for Memphis on Wednesday night.

When it mattered most, so was the solid defense the Grizzlies have become known for.

DeMar DeRozan scored 21 points, Terrence Ross had 14 of his 16 in the fourth quarter and the Toronto Raptors beat the undermanned Grizzlies 96-92.

Grizzlies guard Courtney Lee and forward Tony Allen were among five players ruled out because of a stomach virus. Memphis center Kosta Koufos, forward Jon Leuer and guard Beno Udrih were also unavailable, leaving the Grizzlies with just 10 active players.

It was a challenge for us,” forward Zach Randolph said. “We still played good. That’s why this game hurts so bad. We feel we should have won.

  • Whether that is waking up early, training hard, eating properly, etc., your passion for the sport will make you go even when you want to quit.

  • Think about developing the 4C’s: character, communication, consistency.
