Once again, the Grizzlies can't close the deal on the road against a team with a .500 or better record after surrendering a game-ending 11-0 run to lose to the San Antonio Spurs. The loss dropped the Grizzlies to 4-11 on the season and 1-11 against teams with a .500 or better record for the season.
Injury issues, specifically to star guard Ja Morant, have been the common denominator for the Grizzlies' scoring 101 points or less in three consecutive games. Scoring has been harder to come by without their lead guard, who can create rim pressure on opposing defenses, despite his struggles shooting this season.
