Get ready for an intense NBA showdown! The Memphis Grizzlies emerged victorious over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night, dealing them their worst loss streak of the season - a whopping 10 games in a row!
But here's where it gets controversial... The Grizzlies pulled off this win just a day after trading away Jaren Jackson Jr. to the Utah Jazz in a massive eight-player, three-draft-pick deal. And this is the part most people miss - the Grizzlies are also reportedly in talks to move star guard Ja Morant, with the trade deadline looming on Thursday afternoon.
Cam Spencer, the hero of the night, hit three crucial baskets in the fourth quarter, finishing with 20 points. Ty Jerome added an impressive 28 points to the Grizzlies' tally.
The Kings, on the other hand, last tasted victory on January 16th against Washington, which was the final game of a four-game win streak. Domantas Sabonis put up a valiant effort, scoring 24 points and grabbing 15 rebounds, but it wasn't enough to stop the Grizzlies' momentum.
In other news, Russell Westbrook moved up to 14th place on the NBA's career scoring list with a 3-pointer in the first quarter, surpassing Hakeem Olajuwon's career points.
As for the upcoming games, the Grizzlies will face the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday and Saturday nights, while the Kings host the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday.
So, what do you think? Are the Grizzlies making the right moves with their trades? Or are they shooting themselves in the foot? Let's discuss in the comments!
