The Memphis Grizzlies fell to the Houston Rockets 107-100 inside of FedExForum on Saturday night behind 44 points from James Harden. The Grizzlies held a lead deep into the third quarter but they were unable to overcome a poor shooting night from behind the arc.
Memphis and Houston battled back-and-fourth for four quarters but the Grizzlies’ struggles from long distance would prove too much to overcome down the stretch. The Rockets held the Grizzlies to 3-of-25 from three-point range on the night while they connected on 17 of their 50 three-pointers. Memphis connected on three of their eight three-point attempts in the first quarter but they would finish the game missing their last 17 three-point attempts.
