Memphis Grizzlies

The Memphis Grizzlies showed up with a mission to protect the rim at all costs. Anytime the Charlotte Hornets tried to get close to the basket, somebody was there to turn them away. The result? A swinging Santi Aldama block on a dunk attempt, a Brandon Clarke rejection underneath and a John Konchar swat beneath the rim that turns into a Clarke bucket on the other end. Steven Adams crashed the party by showing Kelly Oubre Jr. no mercy with a denial in the post and rookie David Roddy got in on the fun by thwarting a drive to the basket with a block. The Grizzlies collected 10 blocks and six steals, forcing 18 turnovers in a dominant defensive showing in the 130-99 triumph on November 4, 2022.
