Grizzlies must improve defense to compete effectively

theathletic.com —

The Memphis Grizzlies lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers 133-124, despite Ja Morant scoring a season-high 44 points. Cleveland, without All-Star Donovan Mitchell, maintained control throughout the game, marking their 16th consecutive win. The Grizzlies struggled defensively, allowing Cleveland to build a significant lead. Coach Taylor Jenkins noted a lack of urgency and physicality, highlighting the gap between Memphis and top teams like Cleveland, Boston, and Oklahoma City. Memphis has a record of 1-5 against elite teams this season, with defensive efficiency dropping to 11th overall. As the playoffs approach, the Grizzlies aim to improve their defense and establish reliable lineups to compete for a championship.
