The Portland Trail Blazers and the Memphis Grizzlies will face-off in the play-in game on Saturday night. The way in which they went about in on Thursday were wildly different.
The Memphis Grizzlies punched their ticket to the play-in with a big win over a Milwaukee Bucks team playing without Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Blazers needed 42 points from Damian Lillard in 44 minutes to eek out a 134-133 win over the Brooklyn Nets.
The Phoenix Suns stayed perfect in the bubble with a 26-point victory over the Dallas Mavericks, but will miss out on a postseason opportunity.
