MEMPHIS – The NBA’s super-clutch kings have done it again.
Just when it appears the Grizzlies are destined for disaster after stumbling well into the fourth quarter, they somehow keep finding a way to straight up in time to save themselves with the game on the line. Their latest tight-rope act was delivered Thursday as they rallied from a 13-point deficit midway through the fourth quarter for a stunning 88-86 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers at FedExForum.
Marc Gasol scored a season-high 36 points, JaMychal Green snatched a career-high 18 rebounds and journeyman point guard Toney Douglas scored the final six points for the Grizzlies (16-8), who extended several improbable streaks as they pile up victories while missing several key players due to injuries.
