Beijing time on March 1 Grizzlies home vs Spurs, the strength of the two teams is very different, the Grizzlies this season in the outbreak of Morant to get the second place in the West, and the Spurs because of the reconstruction of the twelfth place in the West, the result of the game is not too unexpected, the Grizzlies finally defeated the Spurs 118-105, this season Morant continued to play a consistent super god, but Spurs Walker's performance is not bad, he got 22 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists in this game. It is worth mentioning that this is already Walker's third consecutive 20+ points after he is transforming into Murray, the spurs need two in the second boss.
Looking back at this game, from the first quarter onwards, the Spurs quickly played an offensive rhythm, Murray took the lead in helping the Spurs score, the Grizzlies did not fall into the bad rhythm of the Spurs, Morant stood up and quickly helped the team find the rhythm, the Spurs felt hot in the first quarter, the outside line hit three points consecutively, and the inside line was very uncomfortable because of the presence of Peltel, the Grizzlies' breakthrough played very uncomfortable. But Morant and Bane put on a one-shot posture at this time, Morant went under the basket to create a threat to Bane to look for opportunities on the outside, the Grizzlies quickly tore apart the Spurs defense, and then hit three points until the end of the first quarter to reverse the score at 42-34.
In the second quarter, the Spurs used Pelter as the fulcrum to carry out the familiar Spurs team basketball, Peltel showed good results on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and the Spurs also narrowed the point difference to 2 points at one point, but the Grizzlies felt unstoppable from Melton and Morant's consecutive three-point life, so that the Grizzlies still had a 10-point advantage into the second half.
After entering the second half, the Grizzlies seized on the point difference advantage, constantly hitting the mid-range long-range pitch with the advantage of the outside line, and finally ended the game with a three-pointer in the fourth quarter. While Morant played well in this game, Spurs' Peltel and Lonnie Walker are also worth noting. Walker has been very good in recent games, being able to efficiently seize opportunities created by his teammates and even suddenly hit key shots when Murray was muted. And Pollert is known as the low-end Duncan also got 16 points and 10 rebounds in this game, it is no exaggeration to say that he grabbed all the rebounds he should get, but the Grizzlies shot too accurately this game, which made Poller's excellent rebounding sense of smell nowhere to play. In addition to Murray, Walker is now growing, and as long as it can maintain this momentum and call the Spurs second in charge, it is only a matter of time.
