Grizzlies Set to Tangle with Hornets at FedExForum

As the Memphis Grizzlies prepare to host the Charlotte Hornets at FedExForum, fans are eager to see if their team can turn around a challenging season. The Grizzlies have been struggling, with a recent record of 20 wins and 41 losses, indicating a season that has not gone as planned. Their last game against the Portland Trail Blazers was particularly tough, ending in an overtime loss with a score of 100-107.

Despite this setback, there were positive takeaways for the Grizzlies. They demonstrated tenacity on defense with nine blocks and an impressive 15 steals. However, their shooting left much to be desired; they only managed a field goal percentage of 36 percent and were outrebounded by their opponents.


The upcoming match against the Hornets presents an opportunity for redemption. The Grizzlies will need to capitalize on their home-court advantage at FedExForum—a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere that often energizes the home squad.

Analyzing past performances suggests that Memphis must focus on improving their offensive execution; they've been averaging an offensive points per possession below one in recent games. Additionally, maintaining defensive intensity will be crucial as they've shown potential in forcing turnovers and securing fast break points.


For fans looking forward to this clash on March 13th at 7:00 PM local time (19:00 -05:00), it promises to be an intriguing encounter filled with strategic adjustments from both sides. The game will be broadcasted live on BSSE networks for those who cannot make it to FedExForum but still wish to catch all the action from wherever they are.
