Grizzlies' Game Highlights
The Grizzlies showcased their prowess right from the start, leading for almost the entire game with a time of 44:58 minutes. Their offensive strategy paid off handsomely as they scored consistently across all quarters - posting 34, 32, 32, and finally closing with 30 points in each respective period. A key factor in their victory was their ability to convert opportunities into points; they achieved an impressive field goal percentage of 47 percent and were particularly effective from the free-throw line with an accuracy rate of 88 percent.
Jaren Jackson Jr.'s performance stood out as he racked up a game-high of 39 points along with six rebounds and one block. His shooting efficiency was notable - making over half his attempts from both two-point range (56 percent) and beyond the arc (42 percent). Scotty Pippen Jr. also made significant contributions with a triple-double consisting of 11 points, ten rebounds, and eleven assists which underscored his versatility on court.
Wizards' Efforts
Despite trailing behind for most of the match, the Wizards showed resilience especially in their fourth-quarter rally where they scored their highest quarter total at 33 points. Their defense managed to block eight shots over the course of the game but struggled against Memphis's aggressive offense which led to them conceding numerous fouls resulting in high-efficiency scoring opportunities for Memphis through free throws.
Washington's bench contributed significantly by adding half of their total score but it wasn't enough to counteract Memphis's dominant play on both ends of the floor. They ended up shooting at only a modest rate from both field goals (41 percent) and three-point range (26 percent), which ultimately couldn't match up against Grizzlies' more balanced attack.
