The Memphis Grizzlies came into Utah searching for answers, having strung together two unlikely wins at a rather inconvenient time. After putting forth such a tank-tastic few months, it was time to finish out the season strong.
First Half
Memphis dug themselves an early hole with a pathetic first quarter in which they mustered just 14 points on 31 percent shooting. Their defensive effort was likewise listless; offense-challenged Utah shot 60% on a buffet of easy looks.
Down double-digits in the second, the Grizzlies ceased playing like Walking Dead extras. They rode a 17-3 run back into the game, fueled by fierce attacking and steady ball movement.
