The Memphis Grizzlies won a nail-biter in overtime against the Boston Celtics on Monday. They lucked out, as they had the opportunity to play a Celtics team without Kemba Walker and Jayson Tatum.
The Grizz will be happy to have gotten the win, but won’t feel particularly great about how they performed. Against a decimated team that had played a day earlier, they weren’t able to close it out until late in overtime.
They’ll look to build off of two straight wins against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday, a team that left a sour taste in their mouth in their last matchup.
