The Memphis Grizzlies struggled for a lot of this game, but they made big plays when it mattered most. Offense couldn’t get into rhythm, and the defense struggled to rebound. However, a win on the road in Houston to stay undefeated is always a good thing.
First Quarter
Marc Gasol got a few easy dunks early on to go up 8-4. The Rockets answered quickly as they got up 13-8 after going on a 9-0 run. The Grizzlies really struggled to stop penetratio, but when they did, Houston just lobbed it to Capela. The Grizzlies’ bench made a couple buckets to end the quarter.
