The Grizzlies ended their season with a loss to the Warriors Friday. Was it the best season ever? Maybe. It was absolutely the most fun. 

The Grizzlies gave up a season-high 25 offensive rebounds and 21 second-chance points. Now they look to next season.

Grizzlies fall in Game 6 to Warriors, ending season

The Grizzlies have momentum, but they’re back in enemy territory for Game 6. Are the Warriors’ veterans due for a rejuvenation?

On Wednesday night in Game 5, Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. was the best player on the floor.

The Memphis Grizzlies beat the Golden State Warriors, 134-95, in Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals. Here are some photos from the game. 

Steph Curry said the Warriors’ plan to close out the Grizzlies was to “Whoop That Trick.” Yeah, that was a mistake. The Grizzlies responded with one of the great whoopings in NBA playoff history.

The Warriors haven’t really looked like the better team. Not decisively, at least. And the Grizzlies shouldn’t consider a great Game 5 their last hurrah.

Whatever happens, this has been a great Grizzlies season, one of only three in franchise history to include more than 50 wins in the regular season and also advancement in the playoffs. 

The Grizzlies point guard sat out Game 4 against the Warriors, which Memphis lost, 101-98.

What was Dillon Brooks thinking? Why did he take that shot? The Grizzlies had the win right there for the taking. On a very hard ending to a very hard day. 

The Grizzlies were without star point guard Ja Morant. Desmond Bane still wasn’t quite right, scoring only eight points. But despite a team-high eight assists, it seemed like no one struggled like Dillon Brooks.

The Memphis Grizzlies will face the Golden State Warriors tonight at 9 p.m. for Game 4, Round 2, of the NBA Playoffs.

Former Memphis Tigers player James Wiseman said he was not interviewed by the IARP for its investigation, and he believes Penny Hardaway will keep the Tigers program on track. 

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant has been the biggest reason why the series has been competitive. Now it’s someone else’s turn. 

Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins said there’s a “good chance” Ja Morant won’t be able to play in Game 4 on Monday. What it means for Morant, for the Grizzlies and for this increasingly bitter playoff series.
