The team needs to leverage its home-court advantage while focusing on tightening defense and capitalizing on fast-break opportunities as seen in previous victories.
The venue itself could play into Memphis' hands; FedExForum has been known as a fortress where many visiting teams find it hard to come away with success due mainly to the passionate support of Grizzly fans.
In conclusion, if recent trends are anything by which we can predict future outcomes; then spectators can expect an intense battle filled with strategic plays from both sides.
