Grizzlies’ Big 3 leads team to win over Kings
James Ennis and Vince Carter step up
Ennis and Carter combined for 21 points, but that’s casual. Vince Carter hitting a few three-pointers? Completely normal. James Ennis pulling out a VC-like slam? Wow! If you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favor and watch this.

The Grindhouse was in postseason form last night. The win was nice but doing it against a former coach makes it so much sweeter.
Quick Hits
- Chandler Parsons didn’t play due to his minute restrictions on back-to-back contests.
- Tony Allen helped push the Grizzlies over the edge in this win, finishing with 13 points on 6-for-11 shooting.
- Apparently, the coaches heard the Grizz Nation’s pleas to give Troy Daniels more playing time. He entered in the first quarter but left and didn’t return because of a knee injury. There are no further details on his injury.
- Deyonta Davis and Jarell Martin, who have seen little time due to injury and tighter rotations, both played in the final three minutes. It’s evident that both need to develop before they can truly become difference-makers. However, these youngsters still have plenty of upside.
Consistency
If the Grizzlies can continue this level of play over an extended period of time, then they will be a dangerous team in the league. They must continue that high-level of play. Let’s see if they can go get a win over a Rockets team that’s desperate to steal one on the road. Unfortunately for Houston, they are coming to the Grindhouse, where dreams come to die.
