Tonight’s contest featured two teams miles away from each other in one sense — yet shoulder to shoulder in another. While the Brooklyn Nets and Memphis Grizzlies might hail from different time zones, they’ve each established a second residency in the NBA’s “No Man’s Land” this year.
With the injury bug taking it personally against Grit and Grind, the Grizz currently finds themselves gutting through a lost season minus Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, and company. However, there’s no need for full teardown despite the poor play, as some time to heal up likely cures all.
It’s a similar dynamic in Brooklyn.
