The Memphis Grizzlies are officially in the 2021 NBA Playoffs.
The match was like a 12-round boxing match, with the Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors trading punches all night long. The game had the intensity of a game seven in the NBA Finals. After going to overtime, things got even more intense, but the Grizzlies came out on top thanks to clutch play from the entire team.
In every way, this was a perfect example of why the play-in tournament is a positive for the NBA.
