On January 9, Beijing time, the NBA West's number one dark horse Grizzlies, continued to march forward! In the absence of number one star Morant, the Grizzlies beat the Clippers 123-108 on the road to win eight straight! Eight consecutive wins tied the team's all-time single-season winning streak, and the team also ranked in the top four in the West. In the next game, the Grizzlies will continue to face the Lakers in this field, and the Lakers should be careful.
In this game, Morant suffered a thigh injury and failed to play. But the Grizzlies, who have won seven straight games, are obviously not relying on Morant 1 to sit in the top four in the West. As the number one dark horse in the West this season, the Grizzlies currently have a very balanced roster. In addition to Morat's super strong point, Bain has improved rapidly, Jaren Jackson and Adams have secured the inside line, and there are qualified role players such as Dillon, Melton and Clark. Arguably, the Grizzlies' current roster is particularly thick.
Facing the Clippers, who lacked George and Jr. in this campaign, the Grizzlies played without difficulty. After dodging a three-plate axe in the first quarter, the Grizzlies hit the Clippers 38-20 in the second quarter of the game, directly reversing the situation. In the second half, the Grizzlies firmly grasped the lead of about 15 points, and finally won easily 123-108. In the whole game, the Grizzlies had only 9 turnovers in 26 assists, and the whole team scored 10 points, and Jalen Jackson and Bain each scored 20+, which was a team victory.
After the game, the Clippers coach also praised the Grizzlies for their fierce rebounding efforts. And witnesses said Tyrenlu was very depressed after the game, the most frustrating of the season. Morant, who was absent from the game, updated his social media after the game, saying: "8 consecutive wins! Let's keep going! "This youth army looks really overwhelming.
In the next game, the Grizzlies will continue to face the Lakers, who have won four straight games in Los Angeles. This will be a huge test for the Lakers. Morant will likely make a comeback, and it will make the Grizzlies more powerful. Can the Lakers' recent hot five-small lineup continue to perform well against the Grizzlies, who have soared with eight consecutive wins?
