The Grizzlies kept their hopes of competing for the NBA Cup alive after their come-from-behind win on the road against the New Orleans Pelicans on Thanksgiving Eve. Zach Edey, specifically, was special in a performance that made NBA history with the highest plus/minus mark by a player in a game decided by 5 points or less (+39).
His presence has helped the Grizzlies win three of their last four games, and none of the five games he has played significant minutes in has resulted in a negative plus/minus with him on the court. The Grizzlies are 3-3 since his return, and 3-2 in the games he finished (missed one game after leaving in the first quarter).
