1. Jeff Green’s lob at the buzzer

On December 6th, 2016, Jeff Green sent the Phoenix Suns home in a dramatic fashion.

With 0.8 left in the 4th quarter, and the game tied 93-93, everyone in the FedEx Forum was on their feet. Courtney Lee was set to inbound the ball. As the ref handed Lee the ball, Mike Conley set a screen on the left elbow for Jeff Green. He curled off the screen as Lee threw it up. Green caught the pass and slammed it over two Sun’s defenders to give the Grizzlies a 95-93 win.

The Grizzlies were an electrifying team to watch in 2016 and aren’t looking to change coming into the new year. Don’t be surprised when you see the Grizzlies on ESPN’s top 10 each week.
