The Memphis Grizzlies are as advertised. This game was a throwback to 90s basketball as the New York Knicks and the Grizzlies slogged through a defensive battle with David Fizdale’s squad ultimately emerging with the victory.
While much is being made about the youth movement on the Knicks, the veterans led the way to a victory over one of the top teams in the Western Conference — at least by the standings.
The Knicks took control of the game with a 25-5 run in the third quarter. Although the Grizzlies would launch a comeback and turn it into a one-possession game late in the fourth quarter, the Knicks made winning plays late.
