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.
