The Memphis Grizzlies have been playing their best basketball of the year. Jaren Jackson Jr. is still out with an injury, but Taylor Jenkins doesn’t seem to care. He hasn’t let an injury to his second-best player throw a corkscrew into their season.
In fact, despite a much more competitive Western Conference than a season ago, Jenkins has created a winning culture in Memphis.
After hovering around .500 for most of the year, the Grizzlies have finally hit their stride, winning in each of their previous four games.
