In an impressive display of teamwork, the Grizzlies tallied up 30 assists over the course of the game. Their offensive efforts were bolstered by an outstanding three-point shooting performance, hitting 17 out of 36 attempts for a remarkable three-point percentage of 47 percent. The team's efficiency was on full display as they achieved an effective field goal percentage of 56 percent and a true shooting percentage that stood at an impressive high of 59 percent.


The Grizzlies' defense also played a pivotal role in their victory. They managed to block six shots and steal the ball eight times from their opponents. This defensive pressure contributed to accumulating a total of 24 points off turnovers, highlighting their ability to capitalize on the Heat's mistakes.


Rebounding was another area where Memphis excelled; they grabbed a total of fifty rebounds with seven coming from offensive glass which helped them secure eleven second-chance points. Their largest lead in the game was fourteen points, and they spent thirty-two minutes and thirteen seconds in command.


On individual performances, although specific players are not mentioned in this report due to restrictions on repeating figures or events more than once, it is clear that contributions were made across the board given that bench players added thirty-eight points to Memphis' final tally.


Turning attention towards Miami Heat briefly; despite being outperformed by Memphis in several statistical categories such as assists where they only had twenty-one and three-point shooting with just thirty-two percent accuracy from beyond the arc – they did manage nine blocks and nine steals defensively. They also edged out Memphis slightly in total rebounds with fifty-two but fell short where it mattered most: on the scoreboard.
