The Houston Rockets were able to bounce back from a blowout loss by taking out their frustrations on the Minnesota Timberwolves. Tonight, they take on a red-hot Memphis Grizzlies team that has won their last five games.
Starting with a blowout win in Los Angeles over the Clippers, the Grizzlies have rattled off some impressive victories on their way to the eighth spot in the Western Conference. I think most of the NBA fandom has been surprised that they have been able to play at this level this quickly with all of their youth, but it’s a testament to new coach Taylor Jenkins and their bevy of young players performing well.
