There was a little luck associated with win No. 13.
Memphis small forward James Ennis shot a wide open 3-pointer as the clock ran out and the Grizzlies were down three points. Unlike Washington’s trip to Memphis for the second game of the season, this last-second 3-pointer did not go in to tie the game.
“We got a great look at it,” Memphis coach David Fizdale said. “I think James was even surprised he was so open. I know Scottie [Brooks] probably wanted to kill a couple of his guys for leaving him open like that. Yeah, we got the look we wanted and it didn’t go in.
