The Memphis Grizzlies finally won a basketball game on Thursday night. It helps when you are taking on a team more broken than you are, of course. The Sacramento Kings have legitimate issues on a variety of levels. But for a time, many who follow Memphis felt things were too far gone for this season.

Zach Edey looks to be ready to take a sophomore season leap. Vince Williams Jr. is filling the emergency point guard role admirably. Jock Landale seems comfortable in a reserve role and contributed in a big way.
