The Memphis Grizzlies headed into game number nine with intentions on ending a two game losing streak. After an emotional loss to the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night in Memphis, the Grizzlies would head on the road. A five-game road could bring the team back together, and would open on Saturday afternoon against the rival Los Angeles Clippers.
1st Quarter:
The Grizzlies led the Clippers 27-25 at the end of one quarter of play. After one quarter there was a noticeable difference. Grizzlies guard Mike Conley returned from a sore achilles injury, and looked like his old self to open the game.
