Steven Adams has produced another valuable double-double, helping Memphis Grizzlies to a 127-123 victory in a high-scoring thriller over New York Knicks.
The Kiwi recorded his seventh double-double of the season, finishing with 16 points and 10 rebounds in 31 minutes, as teammate Ja Morant added a triple-double of his own to get the Grizzlies over the line in New York.
Adams' efforts was his second successive double-double, after scoring 15 points and securing 11 rebounds in a 132-111 thrashing of his former side, New Orleans Pelicans, on Saturday.
Leading 93-83 heading into the final quarter, the Grizzlies held off a last-gasp fightback from their hosts, as Morant added 10 of his 27 points - including the go-ahead basket - in the fourth.
Morant also had a career-high levelling 14 assists and 10 rebounds to complete his triple-double, his first since the end of January.
For the Knicks, Julius Randle had a double-double of his own with 14 points and 10 rebounds, while Jalen Brunson scored a game-high 30 in his side's narrow defeat.
The win was the Grizzlies' second in succession, and sees the Grizzlies third in the NBA's Western Conference behind the table-topping Phoenix Suns, and Denver Nuggets in second.
In 20 games this season, the Grizzlies have won 12 and lost eight, with only the Suns picking up more wins in the Western Conference with 13.
The Grizzlies hit the court again on Thursday away to Minnesota Timberwolves, before returning home to face the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday.
