The Memphis Grizzlies are struggling, but have faith. There is light at the end of this bumpy tunnel.

Last night’s loss in Portland provided plenty of frustration. Damian Lillard became un-guardable, even for Tony Allen, in the last few minutes of the game. A few no-calls later, and the Grizzlies were heading  to Salt Lake City with a loss.

A road trip to SLC is the second of six-straight road games for the Grizzlies. In most cases, the second half of a back-to-back in Utah spells trouble. However, this is Memphis Grizzlies we’re talking about. So, don’t expect that.
