Leads balanced attack in Game 5 win Jackson recorded 21 points (6-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 134-95 win over Golden State.
Impact The Grizzlies clearly weren't ready to see their season come to an end Wednesday, building a 52-point lead after three quarters despite the absence of Ja Morant (knee). Jackson was one of three Memphis players who tied for the team lead with 21 points, and the power forward nailed four three-pointers on six attempts. Jackson also swatted two shots in the game, marking the eighth time in 11 playoff contests that he has finished with multiple blocks. He'll likely need to put up another big performance if Memphis is to stave off elimination again in Game 6 on Friday.

Swats five shots in Game 4 loss Jackson contributed 21 points (7-21 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, five blocks and two steals in 34 minutes during Monday's 101-98 loss to the Warriors.
Impact Jackson was a force on the defensive end for the Grizzlies in the loss, racking up multiple blocks for the seventh time in 10 playoff contests. He also led Memphis with 21 points despite missing all seven of his three-point attempts and shooting just 7-for-21 from the field overall. Jackson will need to continue putting up big production if Memphis is to overcome its current 3-1 series deficit, especially if Ja Morant (knee) remains unable to play.
