Analyzing Past Performances


A glance at recent performances reveals a Memphis team that's not just winning but doing so with flair and precision. On December 27, 2024, against the New Orleans Pelicans, the Grizzlies showcased their offensive prowess by racking up 132 points. Their game was characterized by an impressive synergy on court, leading to a victory that was as much about teamwork as it was about individual brilliance.

Scoring an astounding 155 points, Memphis demonstrated they could outplay and outscore any team on any given night. Their ability to maintain control throughout the game while executing flawlessly under pressure is what sets them apart this season.
