The pages of the Memphis Grizzlies’ record books took yet another historic turn as the franchise reached two offensive milestones in consecutive games.
Back-to-Back Games Rewrite Grizzlies’ Franchise Records
First, the Grizzlies extended a streak of 10+ made 3-pointers in 20 straight games on March 10, as they took on the Philadelphia 76ers. This eclipsed their 19-game streak from the 2023-24 season. Facing the Dallas Mavericks on March 12, Memphis followed that performance up by scoring 110+ more points in their 19th consecutive game. This broke their 18-game streak from the 2024-25 season.
These achievements have not only rewritten the Grizzlies franchise records but also revealed a new offensive identity developing in Memphis. Specifically, those team records reflect a shift in how they generate offense.
Memphis is Letting it Fly
While the organization’s losses pile up, Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo is making his imprint on the offensive landscape in the NBA.
For years, Memphis was known primarily for interior scoring and physical defense. The Grit ‘n’ Grind era leaned heavily on physical play in the paint and slower-paced offense. The Next Gen era leaned on fastbreak offense, but scoring in the paint was predominantly their strength. This current run shows how dramatically the offensive approach has evolved.
The consistency behind this streak speaks to more than just hot shooting nights. Memphis has built lineups capable of generating quality looks from deep through ball movement and spacing. Multiple players are contributing from beyond the arc, preventing defenses from focusing on a single shooter. This balanced perimeter attack has become a defining factor for the development of their young guys.
The Scoring Streak Keeps Growing
Just as impressive as the Grizzlies’ shooting streak is their scoring streak.
Teams that are rebuilding on the fly typically don’t notch 110+ points in 19 straight games. Maintaining that level of scoring for over a month of games requires both efficiency and depth. Bearing that in mind, the Grizzlies’ injury report has continued to look like grocery receipts. Yet, their offense perseveres regardless. All this means is that the offense is generating high-quality shots, pushing the pace, and finding contributions across the roster.
This streak also highlights the improved rhythm of the offense. Memphis has demonstrated an ability to sustain scoring even when its best shooters experience off nights. Constant ball movement, transition opportunities, and fresh lineups have kept the offense flowing.
The Last Word on the Grizzlies’ New Records
Reaching 110 points consistently is a competent offensive system. This has occasionally been difficult for Memphis in past seasons for multitude of reasons. Now, the current stretch rewriting the Grizzlies franchise records suggests the team may have found a more sustainable offensive formula. As the streaks continue to grow, these records could represent the beginning of a new offensive era for the franchise.
