Update

Grizzlies- 35
Hornets 30

In the second, This matchup normally don't favor the Grizz, but with the Hornets missing their key players. The Grizz need to find ways to exploit the Hornets and take advantage of their weak points.

While I love Antonio Daniels, he has not been with the team long enough to develop major chemistry imo. This is a must win considering we are not likely to see the Hornets in this form again.

Not likely. Although the Grizz won the game tonight, it maybe another 12 games when they get another win against the Hornets in this matchup. How about OJ Mayo grabbing 16 rebs in the win? Apparently the Grizz made a franchise record of grabbin 63 rebs.

I have NEVER seen the Grizzlies own the glass like they did last night. Impressive, even against the hornet's third-liners.

As in "Melvin Ely got his sneakers dirty".
