If there’s one problem with the Memphis Grizzlies, it has to be consistency. It’s hard to comprehend a team that is 4-0 against the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets, but loses to teams like the Chicago Bulls.
The story of the night, though, is Doug McDermott. The third-year small forward scored a career-high 31 points. Most of those coming in the first half, he scored 20 of his 31 points in the second quarter.
Jimmy Butler was also Jimmy Butler. After the Grizzlies tied the game at 100 late in the 4th quarter, Butler kept hitting clutch shots.
