The Memphis Grizzlies have struggled recently and they prepare to take on the Miami Heat. They look to avenge their prior loss in this matchup to avoid a series sweep.
The Memphis Grizzlies finally got the monkey off their back Wednesday night when the beat the San Antonio Spurs 96-86.
Their focus now shifts to the Miami Heat whom they have already faced once when they lost at home 97-100.
This will be their 10th game on 2 days rest and in the previous nine, they have an 8-1 record. The Heat beat the Boston Celtics 115-99 on Thursday night.
The Grizzlies will have to play better than they did in the previous matchup if they want to even have a chance.
It was a typical Memphis Grizzlies game. They had a five-point lead early in the fourth quarter but then they only made two shots in the next five minutes.
They have blown many leads this season which continues to get more and more frustrating. This team has to find a way to score the ball in the 4th quarter of close games.
Yeah, they’ve gotten blown out in some games but the majority of their losses have been close. They need guys to start scoring the ball down the stretch.
Mike Conley seems to be their only option down the stretch but there’s no reason that should be the case. They need to get Jaren Jackson Jr. the ball down the stretch and let him go to work.
This team has a lot of issues they need to fix but here are three ways they can secure a win Saturday afternoon in Miami.
