While the New Orleans Pelicans victory against the Phoenix Suns Monday night was not the prettiest, it was still a win.
Tonight, the Pels will have to play an improved effort from their last contest, if they hope to conquer the physical force that is the Memphis Grizzlies.
Memphis currently sits at 34-23, good for the sixth best record in the Western Conference. The Grizzlies have been on a roll lately, winning seven of their past 10 games.
Unlike the up-tempo game they just played, this contest will be a battle of gameplans. While New Orleans loves to push the pace, Memphis loves the slow, grinding defensive battles.
