The Grizzlies might be best remembered among Clipper fans as LAs gritty playoff rivals, led by the intimidating frontcourt duo of Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol.

Half of their 36 points in the first quarter came from beyond the arc, but they also had seven chances at the free-throw line, demonstrating the complete offensive performance the team put on in that quarter. Marcus Morris Sr. remained the most consistent option on that side of the floor, as he scored 15 points in the first half with three triples to go with it.The Grizzlies closed the gap in the second quarter, though, powered by the offensive versatility of Jaren Jackson Jr., as they ultimately outscored the Clippers by 18 points in that period alone.

However, the recurring theme of careless turnovers prevented them from making a major dent into the double-digit deficit, at least until the third quarter was about to come to a close. The Grizzlies lead was cut to six with seconds left to go in the third https://www.lacprostore.com/Russell_Westbrook_Jersey-42, but a Killian Tillie three to beat the buzzer extended it to nine. Unfortunately for the Clippers, they were unable to mount a comeback and saw the deficit grow from nine points at the start of the fourth to 25 at one point in the fourth. With this loss, the Clippers have won just one of their last five games and drop to ninth place in the Western Conference. Its worrying to see them struggle in this fashion without Paul George, but many of their weaknesses can be easily identified and hopefully corrected soon.
