Grizzlies make NBA history

After losing their best player, teams usually take a step down. However, the Grizzlies have written a totally different script: they are on a three game winning streak at the moment. In their recent win, they made NBA history with the biggest margin of victory.

They put on a masterclass in their 73 point win over the Thunder. OKC came in without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who entered the NBA concussion protocol after the last game. This left a huge gap in the scoring department for the Thunder. The Grizzlies pounced on this and absolutely shut down their offense.

Oklahoma shot just 32% from the field with no player able to break the 15 point mark. Memphis played stellar defense all night and made the Thunder work for every point they got. As for the Memphis offense, it matched the energy they showed on defense.

Nine of 12 Memphis players recorded double digit scores in the 152-79 win. The star of the show was big man Jaren Jackson Jr. He accumulated 27 points while shooting 6/7 from downtown and 81% from the field for the night. On the defensive end, he got two steals and two blocks. The Grizzlies shot a dominating 62% from the field and converted 52% of their attempts from range.
