Recent Performance Trends


Analyzing the Memphis Grizzlies' past games reveals a team that is on an upward trajectory. Despite a tough loss against Oklahoma City Thunder with a score of 112-125, where they led for only 36 seconds and had an efficiency game score of 87.9, they bounced back remarkably in their next games. Their victory over Toronto Raptors by 138-107 showcased their offensive capabilities, with an efficiency game score of 120.7 and leading for over 26 minutes. This was followed by another strong performance against San Antonio Spurs, winning 128-109, dominating possession for nearly 40 minutes with an efficiency game score of 116.6.


These games highlight several key strengths of the Grizzlies: their ability to bounce back from setbacks, dominance in points in paint (averaging above 50 percent shooting), effective use of fast breaks (achieving more than half success rate), and capitalizing on turnovers (scoring significantly off opponents' mistakes). Their assists-to-turnover ratio has shown improvement across these matches as well.
