The Grizzlies\u2019 losing streak continues, this time with a 131-115 loss to Milwaukee, giving the Bucks their first win over the Grizzlies since January 2022.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s get into it.<\/p>\n
Here we have two lottery-bound teams, both shorthanded, dragging their rosters to the end of the season. At this point, I don\u2019t think you can even call this Grizzlies team shorthanded, given that their injury report has more players listed than those who dressed out.<\/p>\n
Memphis had one player on the court last night who was with the team at the beginning of the season \u2014 Olivier-Maxence Prosper. That must be some kind of record.<\/p>\n
This wasn\u2019t as brutal as some of the most recent losses; the Grizzlies actually held a lead during this game, albeit only briefly, in the first quarter. The Bucks opened the game shooting well, going 7-for-12 from beyond the arc and 12-for-24 overall in the first period, outscoring the Grizzlies 34-25.<\/p>\n
The Grizzlies fared a little better in the second quarter, outscoring the Bucks 31-28, reducing a 19-point lead to six points at the half. That would be the closest the Grizzlies would come to regaining a lead, and it was short-lived. Milwaukee outscored Memphis 69-59 in the second half.<\/p>\n
By The Numbers:<\/p>\n
A bright spot for Grizzlies fans in this game was Rayan Rupert putting up a triple-double on a career-high of 33 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, four steals, and one block.<\/p>\n
Walter Clayton Jr. scored 20 points on 6 of 11 overall shooting and 4 of 6 from beyond the arc, along with three rebounds and four assists.<\/p>\n
Olivier-Maxence Prosper added 13 points, three rebounds, and two assists.<\/p>\n
Taylor Hendricks finished with 11 points, four rebounds, and four steals.<\/p>\n
Dariq Whitehead led the second unit with 16 points on 6 of 19 overall shooting and 3 of 10 from beyond the arc, along with three rebounds, two assists, and one steal.<\/p>\n
Who Got Next?<\/p>\n
The Grizzlies will play their last home game of the season tonight, facing off against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Tip-off is at 7 PM CDT.<\/p>\n
