Here is the box score for Sunday’s game between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Portland Trail Blazers.

Alasia Smith’s career-high 28 points helped the Tigers improve to 2-1 in the 2024-25 season.

The Tigers battled for over 100 minutes in the Florida heat, playing to a scoreless draw after regulation and through the first overtime period before losing in the second overtime.

Dylan Sampson rushed for a career-high 149 yards and a touchdown to take Tennessee past the Bulldogs. He led the Vols’ offense after quarterback Nico Iamaleava exited with an upper-body injury.

“Once it opens up, you know, it’s showtime,” said the Tigers combo guard, who finished with a game-high 29 points to go with three assists and three rebounds, with 16 of those points coming after halftime.
