Grizzlies Snap Four-Game Losing Streak

The Memphis Grizzlies mounted a fourth-quarter comeback Friday night against the Dallas Mavericks and came away with a 122-111 victory.

After four consecutive losses, the Grizzlies were finally able to put another notch in the win column. It took considerable effort from Ja Morant and Desmond Bane, who combined for 21 points in the fourth quarter.

The absence of Jaren Jackson Jr. was keenly felt. He’s been Memphis’ leading scorer this season, averaging 22.7 points per game. The two-time all-star is sidelined with a Grade 2 left ankle sprain, and his status is listed as week-to-week after being injured early in the first quarter of the Grizzlies’ March 3rd loss to the Atlanta Hawks.

Dallas came out strong in the first period, while Memphis struggled to find their offensive footing. The Grizzlies had a better showing in the second period but still headed into the second half down by three points.

The Mavericks outscored the Grizzlies 41-39 in the third quarter thanks to superior three-point shooting. Both teams shot 53.8% (14 of 56) overall during the third quarter, but Dallas shot 66.7% (6 of 9) to Memphis’ 40% (2 of 5) from beyond the arc.

The Grizzlies finally managed to get both their offense and defense going in the fourth quarter, and they outscored the Mavericks 33-17.

Bane led the charge offensively, alongside Morant, but it was Morant’s pull-up three-pointer with 29 seconds left on the clock that sealed the deal for Memphis. Morant had gone 0 of 4 from beyond the arc through the first three quarters.

By The Numbers:

Morant led the Grizzlies in scoring with 31 points, and added 4 rebounds, 8 assists, and 1 steal.

Desmond Bane finished with 27 points, a career-high 16 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks.

Brandon Clarke led the bench in scoring with 17 points to go along with 8 rebounds, 2 assists, and 4 blocks.

Vince Williams Jr. added 12 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal.

Who Got Next?

The Grizzlies are heading to Big Easy, where they will face off against the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday, March 9th. Tip-off is at 6 PM CDT.

Ja Morant Has to Be Unapologetically Ja

The Memphis Grizzlies are on a four-game losing streak after falling to the Oklahoma City Thunder 120-103 on Wednesday night. This loss comes after a tough home stand, where they went 1-4.

The Grizzlies have lost seven of their last nine games, dropping them to fourth place in the Western Conference with a 38-24 record.

Ja Morant candidly expressed his frustration with his performance in his return game against the Thunder, conceding that he probably shouldn’t have played due to health concerns. However, he also seemed resigned to the fact that his injuries have been an ongoing issue all season, and his focus remains on securing wins despite these challenges. Morant’s lack of availability has been a persistent concern, and his inability to play more than five consecutive games remains an issue.

Every statement made by the 25-year-old will be subject to intense examination and analysis. 

However, the message conveyed in response to adversity is crucial.

“Just stay strong, stay with it,” Morant said in the locker room after the loss against OKC. “It’s a long season — we’ve got a couple more games left. Just lock in. Get guys back healthy and go back to playing our basketball.”

He went on to say, “We’ve been through the whole season together. Ups and downs, hard practices, traveling on the road, fatigue. But, we always seem to respond. So it’s no different from here.”

His parting message amidst the team’s current challenges, “Just continue to play with that energy and effort and continue to have your brothers’ back and trust in each other. That’s pretty much it.”

A pivotal moment from the iconic movie Remember the Titans features a tense confrontation between team captain Gerry Bertier and Julius Campbell, both standout players. Gerry criticizes Julius for having the worst attitude he’s ever encountered. Julius retaliates with a sharp and piercing remark, “Attitude reflects leadership, captain,” implying that Gerry’s lack of accountability as a leader was the root cause of the team’s problems.

Memphis will be without Jaren Jackson Jr. due to a Grade 2 ankle sprain that could have him out weeks. But the odds are in the Grizzlies’ favor with a focused Morant. 

Through 38 appearances, Morant is averaging 20.9 points, 7.4 assists, and 4.1 rebounds per game. 

Make no mistake about it, Morant is still viewed as one of the NBA’s elite players, showcasing extraordinary skill and ability.

His presence on the court greatly improves the team’s performance, making them a more formidable team when he plays.

At this stage in the season, he just has to remind us who he is. Recently, Morant said his coach and teammates remind them to have positive body language, even when things are tough, which can be hard for a competitor like him.

After the overtime against the Phoenix on February 23rd, Morant disclosed that Desmond Bane’s vocal encouragement reminded him that his performance is the catalyst for the team’s energy and momentum, and urged him to simply be himself and play his natural game.

With 20 games remaining in the regular season, the Grizzlies face a critical stretch that will determine their playoff fate. To achieve a deep postseason run, as many fans relish, that leadership starts with Ja Morant. So the team needs Ja to be Ja.

Grizzlies Lose Third in a Row

The Memphis Grizzlies lost to the Atlanta Hawks 132-130 on a last-second turnover Sunday night, giving them their first three-game losing streak of the season.

This marks the third consecutive game that Memphis has lost in the final seconds: On February 28th, OG Anunoby made a three-pointer with 5.2 seconds remaining to put the Knicks up 114-113; On March 1st, D’Aaron Fox sunk a 20-foot shot with 2.6 seconds remaining to put the Spurs up 130-128; and then last night’s buzzer-beater from Caris LeVert gave the Hawks their 132-130 victory.

One common denominator across all three games is that the Grizzlies have given up double-digit points off double-digit turnovers. At some point, a real conversation needs to be had about their impact on the team’s record this season.

The game started out on a sour note for the Grizzlies after Jaren Jackson Jr. left the court 1:39 seconds into the first quarter after turning an ankle. Memphis finished the first quarter up by six points, thanks to Atlanta’s shooting of zero percent from beyond the arc.

The Grizzlies gave up 42 points in the second quarter and headed into the second half down by five. The third quarter was the opposite, with the Hawks giving up 42 points in the period.

Memphis’ six-point lead heading into the final period was not enough, as they scored only 23 points to Atlanta’s 31.

They were tied at 130-130 when Desmond Bane turned the ball over in the final seconds. Caris LeVert scored the final seven points for the Hawks, including his game-winning shot at the buzzer.

This was one of the most disappointing losses of the season, and it highlights the Grizzlies’ turnover issues. After spending most of the season grappling for the second seed, Memphis has dropped to fourth in the Western Conference.

If the playoffs started tomorrow, the Grizzlies would face Houston in the first round, and if their regular season matchup were any indication, the Rockets would give the Grizzlies a painful first-round exit.

Memphis needs to correct the course, and soon, in this final stretch. The fate of their season depends on it.

By The Numbers:

Desmond Bane recorded his first career triple-double, scoring a game-high 35 points, to go along with 10 rebounds and 10 assists.

Luke Kennard finished with 17 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 steals.

Zach Edey added 15 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 block.

Jaylen Wells closed out with 12 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 steals.

Vince Williams Jr. led the bench with 15 points, and added 3 rebounds, and 3 assists.

GG Jackson chipped in with 11 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 block.

Brandon Clarke finished with 11 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 block.

Who Got Next?

The Grizzlies will finish their five-game homestand on Wednesday, March 5th, when they face the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Tip-off will be at 8:30 PM CST, and the game will be broadcast on ESPN and FanDuel Sports Network.

The Memphis Grizzlies narrowly defeated the Phoenix Suns 151-148 in their first overtime game of the season, Tuesday night, moving to 3-0 in the season series.

Phoenix controlled the game for most of the first half, thanks to big offensive contributions from Kevin Durant and Devin Booker.

Memphis fought back in the second half with a vengeance. After being down by as many as 10 in the third period, the Grizzlies went on a 13-1 scoring run to give themselves a 99-97 lead, outscoring the Suns 43-41 in the quarter.

Former Memphis Grizzly Grayson Allen had a hot hand in the fourth quarter off the bench for Phoenix, shooting 4 of 4 from beyond the arc and 3 of 5 from the free throw line for a total of 15 points in the quarter.

Ja Morant also scored 15 points in the fourth quarter, with Desmond Bane adding 11 points. Jaren Jackson Jr.’s night ended by fouling out late in the final moments of regulation play, but not before putting together an impressive stat sheet for the night.

Morant’s floater with 1.9 on the clock tied the game at 137-137 and sent the game to overtime.

The Grizzlies trio of Desmond Bane, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Ja Morant combined for 82 points out of 151, but it was a team effort that secured the win.

During the extra period, Santi Aldama hit a well-timed three-pointer to pull Memphis within one with 1:10 remaining.

Brandon Clarke tipped in a second-chance bucket to give Memphis the lead with 37 seconds on the game clock, and rookie Jaylen Wells hammered home the victory, scoring the final points with 9.1 seconds left.

By The Numbers:

Ja Morant led the Grizzlies in scoring with 29 points, and added 4 rebounds, 8 assists, and 2 steals.

Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 28 points, shooting 11 of 13 overall and 3 of 3 from beyond the arc. He added 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 2 blocks

Desmond Bane finished with 25 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists, and 2 steals.

Jaylen Wells closed out with 19 points on 7 of 12 overall shooting and 5 of 7 from three-point range. He added 5 rebounds and 2 assists. Wells scored the final points for Memphis during overtime.

Santi Aldama led the second unit with 17 points on 6 of 9 overall shooting and 5 of 7 from beyond the arc, tying his season-high five made three-pointers. He also contributed 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals.

Brandon Clarke added 14 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 block, including tipping in the basket that gave the Grizzlies the lead in overtime.

Who Got Next?

The Grizzlies will continue their five-game homestand Friday night against the New York Knicks. Tip-off is at 7 PM CST.

Rebounding Woes Haunt Memphis in ‘The Land’

The stage was set for a thrilling showdown on Sunday night, and the league-leading Cleveland Cavaliers and Memphis Grizzlies delivered, engaging in a back-and-forth battle that ultimately saw the Cavaliers emerge victorious, 129-123.

The Cavaliers dominated the glass, out-rebounding the Grizzlies 57-37, including a staggering 22 offensive rebounds. This significant advantage led to 31 second-chance points, with 12 of those coming in the pivotal fourth quarter. To date, Cleveland has only lost four games at home this season. 

The game saw 11 lead changes and was tied up eight times, highlighting the intense competitive nature of the matchup.

Grizzlies Coach Taylor Jenkins said that the team’s inability to limit Cleveland’s 22 offensive rebounds was a crucial factor in the loss. He noted that while Jarrett Allen had a few, it was a collective effort by the Cavaliers’ guards that hurt them. Jenkins added that he was proud of his team’s overall performance, acknowledging that they played exceptionally well in many areas against a top-ranked opponent: “Going against one of the best teams, if not the best team, in the league, and have that offensive performance. We scored 123 against the elite defense that they are.”

“You can’t give a team 31 freebies, second-chance points,” Jenkins continued. “We just didn’t have it, and that’s gonna be something we absolutely have to address. We have to own even more, because that can’t be an Achilles heel thing for us if we want to get where we want to get to.”

Jaren Jackson Jr. kept the Grizzlies in contention, pouring in a team-high 22 points in just 25 minutes of action. Foul trouble may have limited his playing time, but it couldn’t contain his fourth quarter dominance as evidenced by his 12-point outburst. Jackson Jr. also had four assists, three rebounds, two steals, and a blocked shot. 

Ja Morant turned in a strong  performance, contributing 21 points and 10 assists, although ultimately his team fell short, dropping to a 37-20 record. 

On the season, Morant is averaging 20.5 points, 7.4 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game. 

Luke Kennard made the most of his limited court time off the bench, delivering a productive 24-minute outing in which he scored 19 points on impressive 6-of-8 shooting from the field and 3-of-5 from three-point range.

“I think the biggest thing for us was physicality, giving up a lot of offensive rebounds,” said Kennard after the game. “When you give up that many offensive rebounds to a really good team, they’ll make you pay for it. So we know that was the game for us. But yeah, we battled. We fought to the very end, and we gave ourselves a chance, just missed a couple shots, but we could definitely learn a lot from this.”

Up Next 

The Grizzlies are set to kick off a crucial five-game homestand, with their first challenge coming against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday, February 25, at 7:00 pm CT. Memphis is 21-6 on its home floor.

Grizzlies Mount Second-Half Comeback to Defeat Magic

The Memphis Grizzlies snapped their two-game losing streak Friday night in a hard-fought win against the Orlando Magic, with a final score of 105-104.

This was not the Grizzlies’ finest offensive performance — it was their second-lowest-scoring game of the season. Neither team shot the ball particularly well from beyond the arc, with the Magic shooting 29% from three and the Grizzlies shooting 21.2% in Memphis’s lowest three-point shooting game of the season.

In the first half, the Grizzlies had a 12-point lead, but by the midway point, the Magic had eliminated it, and they headed into the second half tied at 53-53.

Orlando dominated for most of the third quarter, building up a 19-point lead thanks to an explosive performance by Franz Wagner, who scored 15 of his 25 points in the period.

In the final minutes of the third quarter, the Grizzlies took over offensively, going on a 19-0 run fueled by three consecutive three-pointers from GG Jackson.

Until Jackson’s hot streak, Memphis was 2 of 17 from beyond the arc.

Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. led the charge in the fourth quarter, combining for 17 of the Grizzlies’ 25 fourth-quarter points.

A layup by Morant with 1:50 remaining tied the game at 104-104, followed by Desmond Bane splitting a pair of free throws to give the Grizzlies a one-point lead. Jaren Jackson Jr. blocked Orlando’s final shot attempt with 8 seconds left on the game clock to secure the win.

Turnovers remain a problem for Memphis, as they have all season. The Grizzlies gave up 21 points off 15 turnovers, which could have easily cost them the game.

By The Numbers:

Ja Morant led the Grizzlies in scoring with 23 points on 10 of 24 overall shooting and 1 of 7 from three-point range. He added 4 rebounds, 5 assists, and 1 steal. Morant scored 10 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter.

Desmond Bane put up 16 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 steals while shooting 5 of 13 overall and 2 of 6 from three-point range.

Jaren Jackson Jr. finished with 16 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 3 blocks on 3 of 13 overall shooting and 0 of 6 from three. Jackson was 10 of 11 at the line, however.

Brandon Clarke led the bench in scoring with 13 points on 6 of 10 overall shooting. He added 11 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal.

GG Jackson added 12 points on 4 of 5 overall shooting and 3 of 3 from beyond the arc.

Who Got Next?

The Grizzlies will be in Cleveland Sunday night to face off against the Cavaliers. The broadcast has been moved from the FanDuel Sports Network to ESPN. Tip-off is at 6 PM CST.

Indiana Hands Grizzlies Second Straight Loss

The Memphis Grizzlies stumbled in their post-All-Star break debut, falling 127-113 to the Indiana Pacers. 

Memphis dominated early, opening Thursday’s game with a 12-2 surge and leading by as many as 13 points in the first quarter. 

However, their strong start was undone by a disastrous second quarter, where they gave up a franchise-record 50 points. The deficit proved insurmountable, ultimately leading to the Grizzlies’ second straight loss. 

The Pacers surged to their largest advantage of the game, 85-59, by opening the third quarter with seven consecutive points. However, Memphis countered with a 28-6 burst to narrow the deficit to four, 91-87. Indiana regained control with a decisive 14-4 run, re-establishing a comfortable lead with 11:17 remaining in the fourth quarter.

Desmond Bane led the Grizzlies with a well-rounded performance, scoring 23 points, and adding seven assists, five rebounds, and two blocks.

Jaren Jackson Jr. compiled an impressive stat line, tallying 18 points, seven rebounds, four assists, and two blocks in a strong all-around showing. Yet, foul trouble hindered him in the final period. 

Jaylen Wells added 17 points and four rebounds as the Grizzlies fell to 36-18 on the season. 

The Grizzlies take on the Orlando Magic on the second night of a back-to-back at Kia Center on Friday, Feb. 21, at 6 p.m. CT.

Tid-bits 

Memphis signed forward Lamar Stevens to a 10-day contract. Stevens averaged 11.5 points and 5.1 rebounds in 19 games with the Grizzlies last season. Meanwhile, Memphis waived Johnny Davis who was acquired in a trade that sent Marcus Smart to the Washington Wizards.

Grizzlies Get Outworked by Clippers

The Memphis Grizzlies took on the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night and came away with a 128-114 loss. It was Memphis’ second game in two nights, and they were without Ja Morant.

As has been the case with many games this season, turnovers and points scored off those turnovers proved to be a thorn in the Grizzlies’ side. Couple that with an off night offensively for Jaren Jackson Jr., and Clippers small forward Kawhi Leonard having his second-highest-scoring game of the season, and this was the outcome.

It was a somewhat surprising outcome, given that Leonard has played just 15 games this season, and until last game, the Grizzlies were 7-1 in games with no rest this season.

Two-time all-star Jaren Jackson Jr. has been a dominant force on offense for Memphis, but foul trouble hindered his momentum Wednesday. Desmond Bane took on the role of leading scorer with a team-high 23 points, but sloppy ball handling and turnovers kept the game out of reach.

The Grizzlies held the lead briefly in the first quarter and for about half of the second quarter, but once the Clippers overtook them in the first half, they held onto their lead for the remainder of the game.

Turnovers. We need to talk about them. Memphis gave up 41 points off 22 turnovers. In contrast, Los Angeles only gave up 20 points off their 17 turnovers. Giving up that many points dug the Grizzlies into a hole they couldn’t claw their way out of.

Free throw shooting by the Grizzlies was also abysmal – 8 of 15 or 53.3%, with the Clippers shooting 21 of 22 or 95.5% from the charity stripe. Free throws were probably less of a factor in this match than the aforementioned turnovers, but they certainly didn’t help.

This Grizzlies team hasn’t figured out how to solve a problem like the Clippers or the Thunder, for that matter. But there is a chance that Memphis will face the Clippers in the first round, and based on their first two meetings this season, that could spell disaster for any hope of a deep playoff run.

By The Numbers:

Desmond Bane led the team in scoring with 23 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists on 8 of 17 overall shooting and 6 of 11 from beyond the arc.

Jaylen Wells finished the night with 18 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, and 2 steals while shooting 7 of 11 overall and 3 of 7 from three-point range.

Jaren Jackson Jr. closed out with 13 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 blocks on 5 of 12 overall shooting.

Luke Kennard was moved into the starting lineup and finished with 12 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals on 5 of 10 overall shooting and 2 of 3 from beyond the arc.

GG Jackson led the bench unit with 15 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 steal while shooting 6 of 11 overall and 2 of 4 from three-point range.

Santi Aldama added 14 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, and 1 block on 5 of 10 overall shooting and 4 of 6 from beyond the arc.

Who Got Next?

The Grizzlies will return after the All-Star break on February 20th when they take on the Indiana Pacers. Tip-off will be at 6 PM CST.

Grizzlies Close Out Raptors With Authority

The Memphis Grizzlies overcame a lackluster first half, trailing 59-53, with an explosive second-half performance, scoring a season-high 85 points, to dominate the Toronto Raptors, 138-107. The win extends their impressive run of 10 victories in their last 11 games and a current four-game winning streak.

Jaren Jackson Jr. led the charge for the Grizzlies with 32 points on 62.5 percent shooting, complemented by five rebounds and four assists. This performance marked his third consecutive game with 30-plus points and his ninth straight game with 20-plus points, both career highs.

Ja Morant delivered a strong performance, scoring 26 points on 64.3 percent shooting, while grabbing five rebounds and dishing out four assists. He also exploded for 16 points in the third quarter, matching his season-high for points in a single quarter.

Morant and Jackson Jr. have now both scored 25-plus points in back-to-back games, highlighting their impressive offensive chemistry.

In his hometown NBA debut, Toronto native Zach Edey made history, logging a career-best third-consecutive double-double with 13 points and 15 rebounds. Edey became the first Memphis Grizzlies rookie since Pau Gasol in 2002 to record three straight double-doubles, with Gasol having achieved four consecutive double-doubles that March and April.

GG Jackson II had an impressive outing as a reserve with 17 points and six rebounds as the Grizzlies improved to 35-16 on the season. 

Completing the team’s solid performance, Brandon Clarke scored 13 points and grabbed five rebounds, with Scotty Pippen Jr. adding 12 points and five rebounds.

The Grizzlies received a boost, as their injury list shrunk, with the return of Marcus Smart and Vince Williams Jr., both of whom had been sidelined.

The Grizzlies are gearing up to face off against the Oklahoma City Thunder at FedExForum on Saturday, February 8th, at 7 p.m. CT. The highly anticipated matchup pits the top two teams in the Western Conference against each other.

Grizzlies Obliterate Spurs

Monday night, the Memphis Grizzlies faced off against the San Antonio Spurs and came away with a resounding 128-109 victory and moved up to second place in the Western Conference standings.

It was the second night of back-to-back games for Memphis, and Ja Morant returned to the lineup after missing Sunday’s matchup with the Bucks due to shoulder soreness.

Desmond Bane and Brandon Clarke were sidelined with a left ankle strain and back soreness, respectively. But the Grizzlies are no stranger to adapting on the fly when a player is injured, having fostered a next-man-up mentality amongst the players.

The first quarter was a bit of a slog, but Memphis converted six San Antonio turnovers into 12 points in the period and carried that momentum and a six-point lead into the second quarter.

The Spurs had no answer for the Grizzlies when they went on a 19-point run in the second quarter, their biggest of the season. Memphis led by 12 points at halftime, and San Antonio never got within single digits the rest of the game.

And let’s not forget to give the Grizzlies their flowers for winning the turnover battle: Memphis converted 23 San Antonio turnovers into 34 points while holding the Spurs to just 8 points off their own 15 turnovers. This feels significant, given the struggles with turnovers that have plagued the Grizzlies all season.

By The Numbers:

Jaren Jackson Jr. led all scorers with 31 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 3 blocks.

Ja Morant notched 25 points, 3 rebounds, 11 assists, and 3 steals in his return to action. Morant scored 14 of his 25 points in the first quarter.

Zach Edey finished with 16 points, 14 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 steals, and 1 block. This marks Edey’s seventh career double-double and his second in two games after Sunday night’s 14 points and 11 rebounds against the Bucks.

GG Jackson led the second unit with a season-high 27 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, and 3 steals on 11 of 20 overall shooting and 4 of 9 from beyond the arc.

Scotty Pippen Jr. added 11 points, 1 rebound, 5 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block.

Who Got Next?

The Grizzlies are heading to Toronto on Wednesday night to take on the Raptors. Tip-off is at 6:30 PM CST.
