July 9, 2016, Las Vegas, NV – Grizzlies head coach David Fizdale stood outside the curtained-off area that served as his team’s locker room inside Cox Pavilion and stared at the final box score.
“Wow,” he said. After a pause, another “wow.”
There were several reasons for disbelief after a 106-62 shellacking handed the Grizzlies by the Denver Nuggets.
Chief among them was the fact that the Grizzlies shot 2 for 26 from the three-point line. If you don’t have a calculator handy, I’ll save you the trouble – 7.7%. Or about the same odds as taking down the house in Vegas.
