Against Memphis, teams have to come up with a very specific blueprint. Do you opt to run a fast pace and score easy buckets, or do you buckle down and try to match their defensive prowess?
Simply put: Matching Memphis defensively is a task easier said than done. Outscoring, them, however, isn’t difficult if you can outclass them on that side of the floor.
Look for the Celtics to push the pace and not worry too much about defense against a rather anemic offensive Grizzlies squad.
