The Memphis Grizzlies technically won their first “tournament” game since 2017, where they took the Spurs to six games in the first round. However, that was a real playoff game; this is the Play-in tournament, which is technically two different things.
With the inaugural play-in tournament now at hand, the Grizzlies will continue their quest to make the playoffs, with just one more win being the prerequisite for entry. That win must come against Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, who are still red-hot, despite a loss Wednesday night.
