This hasn’t been an ideal stretch of basketball for the Memphis Grizzlies – especially as the playoff race is heating up. Now, they’re a whooping five games behind the fourth-seed Utah Jazz. We’ve seen crazier things before, but home-court advantage looks far-fetched. At this point, they just need to avoid a first-round date with the Spurs or Warriors.
Good news: the Memphis Grizzlies can still bounce back. A win over the Atlanta Hawks could turn things around. After this game, they have the Bucks, Bulls and Hawks (again) on deck before they face the Spurs next Saturday.
However, the Hawks aren’t a pushover team by any means.
