After winning a big game and ending the road trip, the second-placed Grizzlies in the West returned to the home court and faced the challenge of the Nets, who ranked eighth in the East during their two-game winning streak.
In the Grizzlies, Morant continues to be absent, and whether the team can defend the home court will obviously face no small challenge and test for the young Grizzlies.
On the other hand, on the Side of the Nets, although Irving + Durant are united again, the team will rush to the away game in this battle, and the Nets will undoubtedly fall into a bitter battle!
Finally, after 4 quarters of competition, with the excellent performance of Bane + Dillon Brooks + Melton, the Grizzlies, who won the lead, completely suppressed the Nets in the first half and occupied the initiative on the court.
Although after returning from the second half, Durant + Irving felt hot in the third quarter, leading the Nets to play several waves of counter-attack, successfully turning the situation on the court and overtaking the score.
But helplessly in the final final moment, the Nets repeatedly failed to attack, Bane + Clark ushered in an outbreak, and the Grizzlies took the opportunity to play a 13-0 offensive frenzy and locked in the victory in one fell swoop.
In the end, the Grizzlies also won 132-120 at home to the Nets, winning two consecutive wins and giving the opposing Nets a 12-point defeat!
Playing at home in this game, the "Dark Horse of the West" Grizzlies can be described as all soldiers, playing as many as 7 people to score in double figures, multi-point blossoming team offensive, and won a 12-point victory.
In the case of the main players such as Jalan Jackson Jr. + Jones + Melton, each performing their duties, the two main players Bane + Dillon Brooks, and clark on the bench play, it is particularly critical!
Bain was in full swing, starting 30 minutes, shooting 8 from the field on 17-field shooting and 6 three-pointers, hitting a team-high 23 points, plus 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal.
In the final quarter, he hit 3 three-pointers in a row, leading the Grizzlies to a scoring climax, providing powerful firepower while also personally ending the Nets' idea of trying to fight back!
Of course, the Grizzlies were able to beat the Nets in this game, and clark's performance on the bench was also a great achievement.
In this game, Clark opened low and went high, in the first three quarters only scored 4 points, clark ushered in the outbreak in the last quarter to score 10 points, contributing 14 points + 10 rebounds + 1 assist of the double-double performance, successfully affecting the trend of the game!
In addition, as a major ace in the team's front line, the play of Dillon Brooks in this game also played a crucial role.
Dillon Brooks was good offensively and defensively, shooting 7-of-21 from the field, delivering 21 points, three rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block.
More importantly, throughout the game, Dillon Brooks personally has not made a mistake, it can be said that he played a very efficient game!
On the other hand, on the Nets side, the team collapsed in the final quarter of this game, and finally swallowed a 12-point rout, which obviously needs to be examined.
But rationally speaking, for the Nets, this game, the team is not completely without highlights and gains.
After all, as the two aces of the team, the play of Irving + Durant, who jointly cut 78 points in this game, is indeed remarkable!
Irving ushered in the outbreak, the opening 42 minutes, 27 shots 15 of 15 three-pointers, bombed a game-high 43 points, plus 2 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 1 block full performance.
Facing the Grizzlies in this game, Durant also played well, handing over 35 points, 11 rebounds , 8 assists + 2 steals + 2 blocks.
Although it did not help the Nets win, there is one thing to say, the excellent performance of Irving + Durant in this game has indeed brought great pressure to the Grizzlies!
More crucially, Irving's progress in being allowed to play in the Nets' home game is definitely good news for Nets coach Nash!
