I Memphis Grizzlies have completed the biggest comeback of this NBA season recovering from one trailing by 29 points in the third quarter, thus setting the San Antonio Spurs in overtime with the score 126-120. Memphis faced a nine-point deficit in the final minute of regulation time. These are the words of a super Years Jackson Jr.author of 28 points:
“We went into the break, we regrouped, we talked about it. I returned to the field more convinced of shooting.”
Desmond Bane added 21 more points, including eight in overtime, and Tyus Jones he had his first career triple-double with 20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Friday’s comeback is also a franchise record. This valuable result has come while Ja Morant continues to serve his ban for the well-known events related to his person. The player missed his seventh game as part of an 8-game suspension handed down by the team for “conduct detrimental to the league.” Memphis, to date, has a 4-3 record without Morant.
After trailing by 29 points, Memphis tied the score at 109 on a three-pointer by Dillon Brooks with 1.8 seconds remaining on the clock. These are the words of coach Taylor Jenkins on the performance of his:
“Our defense really put up a wall near the box the moment we decided to play. We grabbed a couple of difficult rebounds in crucial moments of the match, and we managed to complete the work in attack. What changed at halftime? We have not watched any footage. I just went into the dressing room and asked the guys to talk about what was going on. Four or five of them shared their views and said what we were doing in the first half was unacceptable. We weren’t communicating with each other on the pitch, we weren’t defending properly, we weren’t playing with the correct physicality.”
