The Memphis Grizzlies are on the verge of being eliminated by the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Clippers won Game 3 by 1 point so they still have home court advantage in this series, but they struggled from the line in the game and almost blew a late lead.
The Los Angeles Clippers used an epic comeback to steal the first game of the series by a point. They outscored the Grizzlies by 22 points in the final quarter to win and take command of the series on the road.
While the injury-plagued Magic are locked into the 6th spot in the Eastern Conference the Grizzlies have a lot on the line in this home game.
The Grizzlies have won 4 straight, but all of those wins have come to team that have a sub .500 record. Tonight they take on another losing club in the Cavs, who are coming off a loss and are only 3/7 in their last 10 games.
At this point in the season it’s all but over for the Charlotte Bobcats as they prepare to host playoff-bound Memphis on Friday night.
The Memphis Grizzlies are having a tough mini road trip facing both teams from last year’s NBA Finals back to back.
By record, the Charlotte Bobcats are the worst team in the league. They have just 16 more games this season and the way they are playing they might not break double digits in wins something every other team has already done – even in a short season that is pretty bad.
The Thunder are red-hot winners of 6 straight and they are coming off a HUGE win where they crushed the Chicago Bulls.
These are two teams that seem to be headed in different directions right now.
Memphis had a great run in the postseason last year. The team started slowly this year, but they have rebounded nicely to get to 25-18 on the season.
Well the Wisconsin Badgers have done it again. Early in the Big Ten season it looked like their run of tournament appearances might come to a close but this team is so well coached it seems like they are never down for very long.
Memphis has quietly been one of the hottest teams in the NBA over the last few weeks.
Memphis had a terrific run in the NBA playoffs last year. This season started off slowly for the Grizzlies, but they have now won eight of their last nine to get to 22-15 on the season.
Memphis had a seven-game winning streak snapped Tuesday night in Portland, but this is still a Grizzlies team that is playing with a ton of confidence. The Clippers got Chris Paul back from an injury in their last game against the Lakers, but they fell 96-91 in a hard fought game.
Both of these teams took a big step forward last year, but they are struggling to stay at that high level.
