More importantly, Dave Fizdale recored his first win as a NBA head coach.
Memphis Grizzlies’ strength: Offensive flow
Compared to offensive sets of the past, the Memphis Grizzlies truly put a show on the offensive side of the court. There was fluid movement on the court, a perfect amount of spacing and more open three-pointers.
Their offense was able to run like a well-oiled machine thanks to star players Marc Gasol, Mike Conley and Zach Randolph.
