Scotty Pippen Jr. already had plenty of fond memories of watching his Hall of Fame father at the United Center.

He added one of his own Saturday night.

Pippen, the son of former Chicago great Scottie, scored a career-best 30 points, added 10 assists and shot 13-of-16 to lead the Memphis Grizzlies past the Bulls 142-131.

"It's a dream come true. It's crazy to say I put up 30 and 10 in the gym where my dad had played," Pippen said after scoring 26 points in the first three quarters to help Memphis win its second straight game. "It means everything to me and my family. I talked to my dad tonight about coming in here and playing. He just told me to go out there and kill it, so that's what I tried to do."

The elder Pippen wasn't in the building Saturday night but was in Memphis on Nov. 8 when his son finished with 11 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists. It made the father and son just the third such duo to each record triple-doubles, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Winston and Darius Garland and Dolph and Danny Schayes are the other two.

Two-time All-Star Ja Morant's absence with a hip injury -- he missed his eighth straight game -- has certainly helped Pippen find his niche during his second season in the NBA. On Saturday, he was effective from the perimeter, in transition and finding space in the paint.

"Scotty Pippen was phenomenal tonight," Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins said.

Pippen is averaging 12.6 points and 5.9 assists in the team's first 17 games.
