Bring back the Vancouver Grizzlies, you cowards! All right, now that we’ve got that out of our collective systems, it’s time to do a little digging into tonight’s matchup between two defense-first teams in the Memphis Grizzlies and the Toronto Raptors. If both teams have it their way, this game is going to end with a scoreline of 88-86, or in that neighbourhood.
There are two players who could, conceivably, account for near-half of their team’s points in Pascal Siakam and Ja Morant — veritable stars who are doing their part to carry the load of their struggling teams.
