Things seemed to be heading all the way left for the Memphis Grizzlies just two short weeks ago.
Seven losses in the month of November? Check.
A sixth 20+ point loss on the season? Check.
Franchise player Ja Morant injuring his knee against the Atlanta Hawks, leaving the game non-weight-barring and causing everyone to fear for the worst? Check, check, and check.
Morant has yet to take the court since the late November beatdown from Trae Young and Co. but the absence isn’t holding the Grizzlies down. Surprisingly, Memphis (15-11, 7-3 over its last ten games) is playing its best basketball of the season. How? Let’s talk about it.
