"I think when their star players are out, we have to lock in even more because these guys have no conscience," Davis said. "They want to come in and beat the Lakers, beat LeBron, beat AD, beat whoever, beat Melo. Like, they want to say, 'I gave the Lakers 30, 25, whatever.'"

Just another game for the Grizz.

Walking in last night I can honestly say the thought of 'beating Carmelo Anthony' never entered my mind.

I keep forgetting Westbrook is on the team. I still only think of Lebron and Davis.

Westbrook is 2nd in the league in turnovers. They haven't meshed well.

Grizz beat Rockets…

Not surprising? Rockets had won 7 of last 9

Grizz were missing Ja, Branfon Clark and Jaron Jackson Jr!

Amazing how they are playing together, Taylor Jenkins must be doing something right

It really is amazing 16-11 now.

The Z-Bo tributes were amazing. What a fantastic night.

Grizzlies pound 76ers for third straight victory.

Last 76ers win in Memphis was 2012!

I was a little disappointed because the 76er's had a couple of leads in the 1st quarter.

I did like those 76ers throwback uniforms reflecting the old Spectrum arena. I remember I was disappointed in 77 when the Sixers (led by Dr J) lost to the Blazers in the finals. This was the first season after the ABA-NBA merger and everyone wanted Dr J to succeed. It took him a few more years but I'm glad he got a ring.

Yeah, I loved that 76er's team with Dr. J and Bobby Jones among others. Had to get Moses though to lead them to the promised land.

What is going on with this team? Used to win wire to wire now having to come back from 4 point 1st quarter deficits

Good win tonight in Portland 113-103. Crazy swings though. Down 9 to up 16 to down 10 to up 13 where they hung on. Brooks played great D on Lillard and really frustrated him.

Grizzlies climb to 18-11! Whodathunkit!

Dillon Brooks is an elite defensive player.

Grizzlies with another comeback win! We’re down by as much as 7 and we’re down by 2 at end of 1st qtr, then we’re up by 2 at half and win the game by 19 on road at Sacramento, gotta clear that 1st quarter up , no wire to wire wins in a week or so….

The Kings current coach, Doug Christie, played against us for Pepperdine in a NCAA Tournament game the Tigers won in 1992. Christie and Penny Hardaway were the games leading scorers.

We were actually down 15 at one point.

Incredible what this team is doing. Defense has been impressive!

Grizzlies ina nip and tuck game tonight with OKC,

Grizzlies set NBA margin of victory last game against OKC a few weeks ago , since then the Thunder has won 2 straight road games and are 3-3 overall since the drubbing

Who knows what will happen night to night in the NBA, but it’s hard to take the Grizzlies seriously when they lose to a rat team like OKC at home.

Beating a team by 70ish makes them want to play a little harder in the next game and your team probably doesn't play as hard. That's the NBA for you.
