Brutal Loss.
This was a game where it felt like the Grizzlies were in control, and you look up and the Magic are within striking distance. But, you think there’s no way the Grizzlies are going to drop this one to Orlando. You take a glimpse at the score again, and you realize, the Grizz are about to blow this. And that’s exactly what happened. A Cole Anthony 3-pointer at the buzzer negated Dillon Brooks’ late game heroics.
This was a game where the Grizzlies had no business in losing. The Grizz are a better team. We’ve seen this story play out though; the opponent hangs around and gets enough confidence down the stretch to end up beating the Grizzlies. This game, along with losing to OKC, and the loss to the shorthand Clippers, will come back to haunt them when it comes to the Playoff race.
