The Memphis Grizzlies hoped to bounce back from a blown lead against the New York Knicks in a home matchup against the Indiana Pacers. Spoiler alert — they would lose that game too, bringing their 4-game winning streak to a fast and sudden halt.
But there was a silver lining to the poor performance by the Grizzlies. That silver lining is the fact that Memphis didn’t actually play that poorly. In fact, if you ignore the horrible defense, it was a solid showing for the team.
