It seemed like the Grizzlies had this game locked up in the first half. They held the Pelicans to 34 points on 29 percent shooting and were up by 7.
Despite a lack of offense, the Grizzlies’ defense made up for it. They would came out and were feisty on defense, hoping to find an answer on the other side of the ball.
Well, the third quarter was a disaster for the Grizzlies as DeMarcus Cousins took over the game.
In addition to Cousins absolutely dominating, the Grizzlies offense was stagnant. They were outscored 32-13 in the third quarter.
