Adebayo, Heat rout Morant-less Grizzlies 138-119

MIAMI (AP) — Bam Adebayo scored 26 points, Tyler Herro added 24 and the Miami Heat enjoyed a rare easy victory, beating the Memphis Grizzlies 138-119 on Wednesday night.

Jimmy Butler scored 23 points, Max Strus had 12, Caleb Martin 11 and Kevin Love and Gabe Vincent each had 10. The Heat set a season high for points.

Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 25 for Memphis.

The Grizzlies played their sixth game without star guard Ja Morant, who was given an eight-game suspension by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver earlier Wednesday as the penalty for “conduct detrimental to the league” — in this case, “holding a firearm in an intoxicated state while visiting a Denver area nightclub” and live-streaming it March 4.
