The Grizzlies might be best remembered among Clipper fans as LA’s gritty playoff rivals, led by the intimidating frontcourt duo of Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol. Now, with players like Ja Morant and Steven Adams (who were both absent from the early-afternoon matchup) leading the team to seven straight wins, it was up to the Clippers to stop it from becoming eight. Despite Ivica Zubac’s return and the absence of the Grizzlies’ most important star, the Clippers were unable to grab the win at home, losing 123-108.
Although the Clippers do have a distaste for these early-afternoon weekend games, they started off with a tremendous amount of energy.
