The Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Portland Trail Blazers twice away from home, but couldn’t replicate the same type of performance on their home court. Damian Lillard and his supporting cast would demolish the Grizzlies, handing them a 21-point loss in a game that was supposed to be close.
Among other things, this game exposed something that Grizzlies fans already knew — this team is capable of completely imploding on any given night. That said, the Grizzlies are also entirely capable of having a great game with almost zero time to recover.
