The Memphis Grizzlies' franchise-record 11-game win streak ran out of steam during Friday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks, but something tells us Ja Morant & Co. aren't done putting their stamp on the NBA this season.
Even with the defeat, the Grizzlies' 30-15 record is the second best in franchise history through 45 games, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. Memphis started 33-12 in 2014-15.
The Grizzlies' streak included impressive victories over the Phoenix Suns, Brooklyn Nets, Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers (twice), but things are about to get tougher for the new Western Conference contenders.
