Grizzlies Set to Tangle with Pelicans in Big Easy Showdown

As the Memphis Grizzlies prepare to face off against the New Orleans Pelicans at the Smoothie King Center, fans are eager to see if their team can continue its recent trend of high-scoring games. Despite a challenging season, the Grizzlies have shown they can put up points in bunches, as evidenced by their last three performances.

In their most recent game against the Atlanta Hawks, Memphis showcased an impressive offensive display, scoring 125 points with a particularly explosive third quarter where they racked up 40 points. Their efficiency was on full display with a field goal percentage of 52 and an effective field goal percentage of 57. They dominated inside the paint scoring 76 points and showed resilience by maintaining a lead for almost fifteen minutes despite being on enemy territory.

A few days prior, back home at FedExForum against the Indiana Pacers, Memphis managed to secure a victory with 116 points. Their bench contributed significantly with 40 points and they led for over forty-three minutes of playtime. The team's defensive efforts were notable as well; they held Indiana to just 103 points and had an efficient defensive rating.

However, it's worth noting that in their encounter before that against these same New Orleans Pelicans – also at Smoothie King Center – it was a tight contest where Memphis narrowly edged out New Orleans by two points in a high-scoring affair ending at 115-113. The Grizzlies' ability to score from second chances was crucial as they converted on sixty percent of those opportunities.

The upcoming game promises excitement as both teams have demonstrated potent offensive capabilities recently. For Memphis fans looking forward to this matchup on December 27th at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans – which will be broadcasted on BSSE – there is hope that their team can replicate or even improve upon these past performances and come away with another win on the road.
