The good news is that the Grizzlies played well for about three quarters’ worth of basketball, the bad news is that an NBA game consists of four quarters. Despite a mostly decent effort from the injury depleted Grizzlies, the Rockets ran away with the game in the final minutes, stretching the final score to 107-91.
Why the Grizzlies lost
Though a closely contested game for most of the evening, James Harden lead the Rockets to a strong 4th quarter finish as Houston outscored Memphis 35-22 in the final frame. You can view the full box score here.
