The Memphis Grizzlies are road warriors.
Four straight wins on the road (five straight overall) is tough to do in the NBA. Considering the Grizzlies beat the Utah Jazz, the L.A. Clippers AND the Charlotte Hornets away from the Grindhouse is down right impressive.
The most impressive part? The Grizz adapted to play at a much higher offensive pace, but continued their Grit ‘n’ Grind style of defense. They held both Kemba Walker and the entire Hornets team 10 points below their nightly average, while breaking the 100-point threshold with ease.
As eluded to in yesterday’s preview, the Grizzlies needed to score 100 points, lock down Kemba Walker and take advantage of the Cody Zeller absence.
