Jaren Jackson, Jr. scored 27 points, Jaylen Wells added a season-high 25 and Zach Edey contributed 21 points and 15 rebounds to lead the visiting Memphis Grizzlies to a 133-128 overtime win over the New Orleans Pelicans in NBA Cup group play.

Vince Williams Jr., forced into playing point guard because of multiple injuries at the position, had a career-best 17 assists.

Jackson scored five of his points in overtime, including two free throws with 5.3 seconds remaining to secure the victory. Jackson was fouled after coming up with a Williams deflection on a Pelicans inbounds pass.

New Orleans opened the overtime period with a three-pointer by Jose Alvarado for a 125-122 lead before Jackson answered with a three-pointer. Wells made it 127-125 with 2:32 to go on a 14-footer and Cedric Coward dropped in a free throw for a 128-125 lead with 1:52 left.

Alvarado added another three-pointer, one of six he made, to tie the game at 128-all with 1:39 remaining. But Wells broke free for a dunk for a 130-128 advantage with 47.3 seconds to go.

Alvarado paced the Pelicans with a season-high 24 points and Saddiq Bey added 18 points and 10 boards. He scored 18 points in the first half. Zion Williamson finished with 17 points.

The Grizzlies improved to 2-2 in Cup play, while New Orleans dropped to 0-4.

Edey was limited to six minutes in the team’s home loss Monday to the Denver Nuggets because of a migraine headache, but started against the Pelicans and was a factor throughout.

Memphis trailed by 10 in the third quarter and never led in the second half until the closing minutes. The Grizzlies led 122-120 with 6.4 seconds left in regulation after Edey made one of two free throws, but Williamson sent the game into overtime with a strong drive to the basket and shot he banked in with 0.9 seconds to go. Memphis couldn’t get a shot off before regulation ended.

The Pelicans were the league’s lowest-scoring team at 108.6 points per game before scoring 143 and 128 the last two outings. (Field Level Media / Reuters)
