ANALYSIS
Jackson posted 20-plus points for the second consecutive game, finishing as the club's second-leading scorer Thursday. However, the star big man shot only 2-for-6 in the final quarter. Jackson is averaging 17.3 points and 5.3 rebounds across 33.7 minutes per game during the first round, and the Grizzlies will need him to step up if they have any chance to overcome a 3-0 series deficit.
