Grizzlies star Ja Morant started and finished the game with 12 points in 22 minutes, despite being initially questionable to play due to ankle soreness. The team was led in scoring by a player with 19 points, while rookie Cedric Coward added 16 points off the bench and made his first career 3-pointer.
Miami's hot start was fueled by All-Star big man Bam Adebayo.
