The Memphis Grizzlies put up a valiant effort but couldn't match up against their visitors' intensity throughout most parts of the game. Despite trailing for over half-hour during playtime (34:48), they managed to lead for nearly eleven minutes (10:45) thanks largely due to their bench scoring one point more than that from LA's reserves (46). Their resilience shone through particularly during last quarter when they racked up forty points—a testament not only towards players' determination but also coaching staff's ability adapt tactics mid-game.
However, it wasn't enough as efficient ball movement led Clippers amassing twenty-two assists while maintaining better control over ball compared home side which turned it over twelve times versus nine for hosts; this resulted assist-to-turnover ratio favoring visitors (1.83). Additionally despite having fewer total rebounds than Grizzlies who had fifty-seven boards including seventeen on offense end court; effective field goal percentage told different story where visitors edged out hosts sixty-four percent against fifty-three respectively indicating higher quality shot selection overall from former team.
