On January 14, Beijing time, the Grizzlies defeated the Timberwolves 116-108 at home to win 11 consecutive games. The Grizzlies won the game in a reversal, the Grizzlies trailed by 7 points after the first half, the Grizzlies played 37-24 in the third quarter to complete the rebound, the two teams entered a stalemate in the final quarter, and Conchar's three-pointer 1:02 seconds before the final game helped the Grizzlies seal the victory. Conchar scored 15 points, 17 rebounds and 3 assists (7-of-6, 3-of-4 from three)to become a supercrite.
With Morant's poor hand on 5-of-16 + 7-of-7 three-pointers, substitute Conchar stepped forward to help the team win. The team's five players in double-doubles, the bench five people a total of 48 points and the Timberwolves bench five people only scored 13 points. This grizzly bear is a brave and courageous team for everyone. After the game, people began to discuss how high the Grizzlies' 11-game winning streak was.
The Suns are first in the West, the Lakers are seventh (two games), the Nets are second in the East, the Cavaliers are sixth in the East, the Clippers are eighth in the West, and the Warriors are second in the West. That's seven wins over the top eight teams in the East and West, and the Timberwolves are ninth in the West.
Even more outrageous is yet to come, with the Grizzlies going back-to-back in this 11-game winning streak:
December 27, Hitting King, December 28, Lakeman;
Finished playing the Nets on January 4 and the Cavaliers on January 5;
Finished playing the Clippers on January 9 and the Lakers on January 10;
The schedule for the Grizzlies is actually particularly difficult, and the opponents in the second game back-to-back are all the top eight teams in the division. It is worth mentioning that the process is not easy either. The War Suns are Morant's second-reading kill; the first game of the War Lakers is Morant's 44-point explosion, and The Key Moment Westbrook dunks and fly; the War Knights are Morant's final moment key steal to lock the win; the Warriors are the final quarter defense to Curry 1 of 6 to complete the reversal.
Morant, as the leader of the Grizzlies, has indeed played a super big, averaging 29.1 points, 6.1 rebounds and 6.1 assists in his last 8 games, shooting 53% from the field and 52% from three-point range. (Compared to the Nets' back-to-back second game against the Thunder complaining about the unreasonable schedule, the Grizzlies have no complaints at all, and their schedule is even more unreasonable)
Grizzlies reporter Justin Termine wrote: "The Grizzlies are incredible, they are a team based in small ball city, without hype, through the draft reconstruction, made some wise trades; they have no exposure compared to teams like the Nets, the Nets have two greatest stars in history + Kyrie Irving, they have formed a super team. But the Grizzlies are better at playing basketball. (Nash is not a heart)
