In the first half, both teams came out hot. By halftime, the score was 55-52 — the Grizzlies holding the slight edge. The 3rd quarter was the turning point for tonight’s game. Typically, Memphis has a rough 3rd period, but tonight was quite the opposite. The Grizzlies built on their first half performance by scoring 23 points and holding Atlanta to just 13 points.
Halfway into the 4th, the Hawks made a push and closed the gap to 10, but the Grizzlies were able to retaliate and comfortably secure a satisfying victory.
Player Of The Night
While there were multiple players who stood out and deserved this recognition, tonight the honor goes to Big Spain.
