Memphis has almost gotten a ticket to the playoffs. Taylor Jenkins’ charges have 36 victories. That’s five more than the 11th Sacramento. Considering that there are very few left until the end of the regular season, the chances of the “bears” are quite high. All this became possible thanks to the excellent performance of “Grizzlies” in recent matches. In three matches they managed to beat Toronto (109-99), New Orleans (115-110) and Dallas (133-104). Thus, “Memphis” has strengthened on the ninth line of the Western Conference.
Blazers deserve praise, because at the right moment the club got together and just gave the result. The team has not lost for five games, thus retaining its place in the leading six of the West, although there is an opportunity to catch up with Dallas. In the last meeting, Portland dealt with Utah also on the road (105-98). Terry Stots’ team was simply unstoppable and Damian Lillard scored 30 points and became the best player in the fight. The Pathfinders will try to stay at this level, although it will be extremely difficult in the match against Phoenix, but if you look at the last matches, the club has caught the courage and has something to show the opponent.
