03:05Multiple guys with seven-plus points.
03:09Grizzlies close the period on a 7-0 run.
03:13No Grizzlies in double figures, but balanced scoring.
03:16Nuggets have two in double figures.
03:18We'll return to the Konica Minolta Biz Hub destination.
03:21Give you the high scores and start our halftime festivity.
03:27Grizzlies trail Denver 60-54 before we head to the third quarter.
03:30The Orion coach's halftime report.
03:32Penny Collins is with Fish.
03:33Coach, shooting 39%.
03:35They're shooting 52%.
03:37You've been out-rebounded by 10.
03:38How are you within six and still in this ballgame?
03:42Well, our guys are just playing really hard.
03:44You know, that's the key for us right now.
03:45We've got to do a better job with our interior defense and rebound.
03:49That's key right now going into the second half.
03:51In the second half, as far as offensively is concerned,
03:54the numbers haven't been there, but you like what you're getting offensively?
03:57Well, you know, obviously percentages don't always tell a story.
03:59We're not shooting a great percentage right now, but we're getting good shots.
04:02So we continue to get paint touches, kick outs, and make one more passes,
04:05and we'll live with those shots.
04:06All right, good luck second half.
04:06Thank you.
04:07Thank you.
04:08Coach's halftime report presented by Orion Financial.
04:10Well, Grizzlies MVPs, we want you to earn claws,
04:13and you can do just that for tuning in to road games.
04:17Enter the code you see on the screen there right in the graphic.
04:20Enter that in MVP Central and into the Grizzlies app now,
04:24and you will be rewarded for your loyalty.
04:27Claws can be earned during all road broadcasts,
04:29so follow house rule number six and the advice of Brevin Knight.
04:34Never miss a game.
04:36Just don't do it.
04:37Never miss a game.
04:37Never, ever.
04:38Never.
04:39Never.
04:41All right, we're heading into the all-star break,
04:43but here's the rest of the month.
04:45Grizzlies return home, welcome them back on the 20th against Utah,
04:49back-to-back in Miami, then Sacramento and Golden State,
04:52and then they wrap up the month on the road at Dallas.
04:57Part of the other reason why the Grizzlies in this game,
05:00you talk about the only one turnoff,
05:01good move here by Jalen Wells all the way to the basket,
05:04but they forced eight and scored 12 points off of those eight turnovers.
05:09And the Grizzlies outdoing Denver in the fast break category 12-6.
05:15Those are all the areas that the Grizzlies were going to have to make a difference in
05:20if they were going to have a chance to win this game.
05:22Denver 23-8 with a halftime lead.
05:25Jamal Murray finger rolls it up and in.
05:27Pretty move by Jamal Murray.
05:29Jamal Murray.
05:31He becomes the third nugget in double figures.
05:36Wells, a three.
05:38And the rebound, Jokic.
05:40Quick out with the Strother.
05:42And out of bounds, Ty Jerome, sending it out of play.
05:46As you look at Julian Strother.
05:49See, Jalen Wells, good job.
05:51Catches Jamal Murray playing a passing lane.
05:54He's able to get an easy one.
05:56And I think if you look at why Denver has lost four of the last five,
05:59defense like that, or non-defense, is a big reason why.
06:03Kyle Anderson with a takeaway.
06:05Track by Brown.
06:07Kyle holds set.
06:08Banks it in.
06:09It was awkward.
06:11The crowd thought it was a walk, but it is awkward.
06:14But again, though, the Grizzlies turning turnovers into immediate points.
06:1914 points off of nine Denver turnovers.
06:22And Denver is not a turnover-prone team.
06:25Murray trying to buy a call.
06:27And that will be a loose ball foul on Jalen Wells.
06:38Kyle Anderson.
06:40Never brings us a second foot down.
06:42The second step was so close to the first step
06:45that it looked like it was a travel.
06:48But it wasn't.
06:50Kyle was four around tonight.
06:51And Murray fouled by Mayshack.
06:57I understand the officials say I've got to make the call.
07:03All I want you to do is you've got to make the call
07:04when you have each other.
07:06That's all.
07:06Just got to make the call there also.
07:09Murray off the curl, backhanded layup.
07:14Yeah, the consistency has not been there tonight.
07:18Grizzlies certainly have an argument there.
07:19Grizzlies don't have available.
07:49shot blocking.
07:51And Murray is taking advantage.
07:53No shot blocking, no size on the interior.
07:57Wells, he's got a driving angle with a two-handed slam.
08:01But now Cam Johnson leaks out.
08:03Jerome, wow, great defensive play.
08:05And it's Grizzlies basketball.
08:08Grizzlies take the ball out.
08:08Let's go.
08:11David Adelman looking at his back bench.
08:15And the Grizzlies are able to put it in play.
08:17Both teams had a successful challenge in the first half.
08:26So they'll have an opportunity for one more.
08:28A Jerome three rimming in.
08:31That's a Jerome.
08:32Not only in the first half, but both in the first quarter.
08:34Yes.
08:35The Grizzlies had themselves within three.
08:37Jokic early offense.
08:44Trying to go back door.
08:45Missed Strother.
08:46Picked up by Mayshack.
08:48Another thing.
08:49Another thing.
08:49Good move here by Gigi.
08:50Gigi to the rim.
08:50Yes.
08:52And Gigi Jackson brings the Grizzlies within one.
08:57They are frustrating.
08:58Jokic also partner with the second defender or even the initial defender.
09:02They're not backing down.
09:04They continue to attack the basketball.
09:06Grizzlies going downhill.
09:08And Gigi Jackson.
09:09Nine on the night.
09:10It's a one-point game.
09:12In one.
09:13Let's get to cleaning the glass.
09:15Service master by Stratus.
09:17Well, we're nearing Valentine's Day.
09:19So it's only fitting Lawson Lovering factors into this.
09:23The offensive rebound.
09:24The extra pass.
09:26And Jemai Mayshack pays it off with a three.
09:29Grizzlies.
09:29That is the only second chance bucket they've had tonight.
09:32It was keyed by Lawson Lovering's offensive rebound.
09:35Cleaning the glass.
09:39Murray has all six for Denver here in the period.
09:42Jokic with six turnovers already.
09:44Yes.
09:45Backing down.
09:46And the Grizzlies digging and can't get it away.
09:49But they are whistled for a foul as we check in with Rob Fisher.
09:52Well, Coach Isolo during that last time out told the team he likes the activity that he's seen on both ends of the floor.
09:57Or something that Brevin talked about early in the game.
10:00Coach has mentioned a few times during timeouts.
10:02And he mentioned again in this time out.
10:03He said, we've got to keep getting back after makes and misses.
10:07We've got to get back defensively.
10:08Doing a great job of that right now.
10:09He said to stay aggressive on both ends.
10:11And stay active on both ends.
10:14And that's out of bounds.
10:18Kyle Anderson fortunate not to pick up a foul there.
10:21Yeah, but the thing is, because it is Kyle Anderson, all of the tricks.
10:26Jokic hasn't been able to get away with the tricks here in this game.
10:30The fake handoff to throw the ball through.
10:32Because Kyle understands nice find here to Brown on the interior.
10:35Grizzlies didn't talk that well now.
10:37But Kyle has limited Jokic here in this game.
10:40Yeah.
10:41Kyle going at Jokic.
10:49Pitches it out.
10:50A Gigi Jackson three.
10:51Bingo!
10:52And Gigi Jackson has tied the game at 68.
10:56So this team just, they just continue to fight.
10:59Forget what the mismatches are.
11:01What it's supposed to be.
11:02They don't back down.
11:04Jokic drives at Kyle.
11:06And Kyle Anderson picks up his fourth foul.
11:10One of the things that Tomas Isilow said to me before the game,
11:13I asked him about Kyle Anderson and what he means to this team.
11:16And he says, it took it one shoot around to figure out exactly what we wanted to do.
11:20It just speaks to his high basketball IQ.
11:23He's been that way his entire career.
11:25When you think about where Slomo, his game has been this way.
11:29It wasn't like he was jumping out of the gym when he was younger.
11:32He was taller.
11:33He had long arms.
11:34But he had to figure out a way to still be a force on the floor.
11:39And the way that he figured that out was, my skills will be elite.
11:43But I'm also going to be elite in my mind.
11:45And his mind game is what allowed him to continue to have the successes that he has had in his career.
11:52Jersey guy, Pac-12 guy.
11:54He's your guy, right?
11:55Come on, three and three.
11:56If you want to be a Jersey and Pac-12 guy, there's no way in the world you can't be my guy.
12:01Contavious Caldwell-Pope back in the game.
12:08Ty Jerome's three runs the rim and spins out.
12:11Olivier Maxens Prosper back in the game.
12:15So Mayshack and Gigi Jackson get a rest.
12:17Cam Johnson, his three is short.
12:19Strother's scying for the rebound, knocks it out of bounds.
12:26The other thing we need to talk about, partners, they have staggered Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen Jr.
12:33extremely well tied Jerome another three here.
12:35Halfway down, but those minutes are such that in the fourth quarter, you'll at least have the opportunity to have one of them on the floor in the winning time.
12:47Jokic backing down, working against Kyle.
12:50What a pass to Christian Brown.
12:52That was a gem.
12:55Seventh assist for Jokic.
12:57Jerome weaving his way into the lane, out of the double, finds Wells, who banks it in.
13:10Good job there.
13:11Jalen Wells moving without the basketball.
13:13Struthers went for a double team, cut directly to the front of the basket.
13:17Five gone by here in quarter number three.
13:20Murray has Wells on his hip.
13:22Leans in, doesn't get the role.
13:24Jokic, a flat-footed rebound and a put-back for Nikola Jokic.
13:34Nuggets by three.
13:37Jerome crossing over, driving contact.
13:39It's up, it's off.
13:41And free throw's coming for Ty Jerome.
13:43Meanwhile, Jokic now, that was his tenth rebound to go with 14 points.
13:48Thirteen consecutive double-double for Jokic against the Grizzlies.
13:53That is the longest double-double streak by any player against the Grizzlies franchise.
14:01He's so good.
14:02And the thing that, what makes him so good is, like all good passers, your eyes are always up.
14:08Whether you're handling the ball or you've terminated your dribble, your eyes are always looking.
14:14And for him, it's no different.
14:15He makes moves, making the move to go to score, but he sees where everyone is.
14:23Last foul was on Jamal Murray, his second.
14:27Jerome makes and makes again.
14:29One-point game again.
14:34When I was with Arvidas Sabonis in Portland, I always referred to Arvidas as the lighthouse.
14:39Because he could stand at the elbow and see everything.
14:41And just scan the entire floor.
14:43Jokic is very similar as Jamal Murray knocks down his first three of the game to give him 17.
14:49Well, it's been Jamal Murray quarter here.
14:52Him being able to put up nine in his third quarter.
14:57Tied Jerome.
14:59That's quite the skip pass.
15:02Wells.
15:02Hendricks backing down and a foul on Jokic before the shot.
15:09First foul on Jokic.
15:12Kyle Anderson got a breather allowing Hendricks to come in.
15:16They called the foul on the wrong player.
15:19They called the foul on Hendricks, though.
15:22Yeah, the official scorer is asking what he...
15:29Because he called 22.
15:33They're supposed to foul.
15:35They changed it to Jokic.
15:36Right.
15:46Cam Spencer back in.
15:49Tied Jerome done for the third quarter.
15:51Caldwell's post.
15:53Jokic is 11th rebound.
15:54So it's called well-pulled cross for Hendricks, Pippen, Cam Spencer.
15:58Brattner takes it to distance.
16:01And as that transition defense, you don't want to allow the Nuggets to easy run out once
16:05because they're always looking up the floor on every rebound or turnover.
16:10They are an opportunistic fast break team.
16:13Spencer's floater won't go.
16:16Brown the rebound.
16:18Rizzi's got it within one but could not get the lead back.
16:22Actually had it tied at 68, I believe.
16:25Jokic fouled by Hendricks.
16:29And Jokic two assists away from his 20th triple-double of the season.
16:35Earlier this season, he passed Oscar Robertson for second on the all-time list.
16:40Russell Westbrook the only one with more triple-doubles than that guy.
16:45Last foul on Hendricks is his fourth as Jokic shoots two.
16:50Four of five from the line tonight.
16:52Now this from auto owners.
16:56With the right coverage from auto owners, when the unexpected happens, you know you're covered.
17:01That's simple human sense.
17:02Jokic one of two.
17:13And the lead back to seven.
17:14Grizzlies working back from a 14-point deficit to tie the game here in the third quarter.
17:22Pippen tried to hit a floater.
17:25Jokic got by Hendricks and laid it in.
17:36And the Grizzlies take a timeout here.
17:38Four-fifty-six remaining in the third.
17:40And after the Grizzlies had tied the game, it has opened up to a nine-point lead for Denver.
17:49Grizzlies have tied it at 68.
17:51Since then, it has been all nuggets.
17:5513-4 run.
17:56And, well, the road to WrestleMania runs through FedEx Forum on Monday night.

18:13Memphis, Memphis, always a great pro-wrestling town.
18:19You know the building will be rocking.
18:24What's the date for that, Pete?
18:25That's Monday.
18:27Oh, I had to watch that on TV.
18:30Hendricks wheels into the lane.
18:32Faces up.
18:33Jokic boards.
18:35There's a good shot by Hendricks that time.
18:39Hardaway Jr. flashing back door.
18:41Jokic, Hardaway Jr. for two as we send it to Rob Fisher.
18:46Well, that makes it a 15-4 run, Pete.
18:48The offense has gone cold.
18:49And Taylor, or Tomas Isolo, telling the team during that timeout,
18:52he said everything offensively has just been one action.
18:55He said we're not moving the ball side to side at all.
18:57We're not being patient at all.
18:59We need to get back to moving the basketball a little bit better offensively.
19:0215-4 run.
19:03Ten straight now by Denver.
19:06And Tim Hardaway Jr.
19:08Yeah, the spacing has to be a little bit better.
19:10on the offensive end that will allow them to see some of these open plays.
19:16But there's so much crowd out on the floor.
19:19Hard to see on the spot.
19:21Offensive foul.
19:22Hendricks for an illegal screen.
19:24That's five on him.
19:25Gigi Jackson going to come in.
19:39But at the end of the day, partner, you're still asking wing players to do big man things.
19:43Yes, the wing guys use the dribble to come off screens.
19:47They're not accustomed to having to set screens.
19:49So the angle and the timing has been off for the bridge.
19:52And Murray short on that three.
19:58Gigi Jackson thought about it.
20:00Picked up by Bruce Brown.
20:01Under four remaining in the third.
20:02Pippen crossing over against Jamal Murray in the lane.
20:07Offensive foul.
20:08And they'll call an offensive foul on Scottie.
20:17Watch the left arm come out.
20:21Easy call.
20:22Lawson Lovering back into the game for the Grizzlies.
20:38Battling one-on-one with Jokic.
20:41Murray a topside three.
20:43Rimming goal.
20:45And Lovering is out of bounds.
20:48How's this your first ever NBA game and you get to guard Nikola Jokic?
20:52Welcome to the NBA.
20:54Yeah, we had a chance to talk to him on a bus yesterday.
20:56And we talked about this.
20:57Your first experience, huh, with Jokic?
20:59He's like, well, I'm going to go in and battle him.
21:02And that's exactly what he has done here tonight.
21:08The Wyoming native defending well there.
21:10Voicing a miss.
21:12Gigi Jackson with a rebound.
21:15The contract for Lovering is a 10-day call-up.
21:18Gigi Jackson drawing a foul.
21:22One of the things you want to see here is good one-on-one defense stays low, stays low, stays square, doesn't foul.
21:34We did good work on the initials.
21:36With the pump fakes with Jokic.
21:38Never went for a pump fave.
21:39Kept his hands active the entire time.
21:42Took the hit from Jokic.
21:43Step back to step, but then immediately right back into his chest.
21:48And as he stayed at the apartment, he was able to contest without fouling.
21:52That was a nice one-on-one defense.
21:53Christian Brown, his third foul.
21:55Gigi Jackson now with 13 points as you look at Lovering.
21:59Now, Ivan Lukic, who is Serbian, said he was going to teach Lovering some Serbian phrases that he could use on Jokic.
22:09I'm not sure if that actually happened, but that was the plan.
22:15Hopefully those phrases are ones that make him laugh.
22:23The last thing we wanted was something that forces him to be even more engaged.
22:27Yeah.
22:28Yeah.
22:28Don't anger the big fella.
22:31Murray curling into the lane.
22:33Fade away, squaring up, and knocking down another one.
22:3619 for Murray.
22:3811 in the quarter.
22:39Another offensive foul.
22:50Lovering.
22:56I'll tell you one thing, Coach, I want to see.
22:57When a team, your player, gets his arm grabbed on the move,
23:01the officials say that I wasn't in line to be able to see.
23:04Yeah.
23:05If you don't see it, don't call it.
23:08Murray feeling it.
23:09The Gigi Jackson, the rebound.
23:13Well, you had said it in the Pinnacle Effective Advice of the Game,
23:16as Spencer goes in his motion, sets up Gigi.
23:19Gigi, a little fake.
23:20Oh, it goes around Jokic.
23:22And scores for two.
23:27We'll revisit the Pinnacle Effective Advice of the Game in a little bit.
23:30Yeah, sorry about that move, dude.
23:31You made a great point.
23:32Yeah, that was a move by Gigi Jackson.
23:35And Jokic was stunned.
23:36And Jokic was stunned.
23:39Gigi, ball fake.
23:40And Jokic, ball fake.
23:42Gigi, ball fake.

24:06Wow.
24:08Told you, I'm coming for you, Petey.
24:10Just on reads.
24:11Give you a 9.8.
24:13I always like to have some more work to do.
24:16Good job here.
24:17Spencer with the knockaway.
24:19Stepped into the passing lane and forced a turnover.
24:2311 turnovers for Denver.
24:25Four for the Grizzlies.
24:27Mayshack, a three short.
24:30Grizzlies with Mayshack, Jackson, Cross for Spencer, and Lovering.
24:34Johnson, Jokic, Brown, Hardaway, and Brown.
24:43Bruce Brown, his three, nothing but twine.
24:52Only seven made threes for Denver, but they seem to be timely threes, and Cam Spencer struggling.
24:59The thing is, partner, he's too concerned where the defender is instead of going to score.
25:05So you're stopping your move to hit a defender to then start your move again.
25:09He comes around these screens.
25:10You're open coming around the screen.
25:12Take that one hard dribble into a pull-up jump shot.
25:17Hardaway screens.
25:19And it'll be a three-shot foul, I believe, for Jokic.
25:25Lovering.
25:28Jokic, one assist away from a triple-double, by the way, and he'll get three here.
25:34Lovering had done a good job.
25:36Lovering had the last possession, keeping his hands away, active, but not getting it caught all the way in.
25:43But going back to the pinnacle effective advice of the game, you had said, watch your feet here, not on a beach somewhere, wherever you're going to go for all-star break.
25:54And I think the Grizzlies have done a really good job of that.
25:58This has not looked like a team that has lost 9 of 11, and it's the game before the all-star break.
26:04No, they have been present, and they have shown up.
26:07And the thing you want to do is force the other team, that is the better team at this juncture, to have to still beat you.
26:16You don't want them to walk in here and be a walkover.
26:20And the Grizzlies haven't done that tonight.
26:21I mean, you're talking about playing the fourth seed in the West, a team that's largely healthy.
26:29I know Aaron Gordon is out, but if Jokic is available, they're healthy.
26:34And the same for Jamal Murray.
26:37Final minute of the third quarter.
26:39Grizzlies had it tied at 68.
26:41Since then, it has been all Denver.
26:43Gigi Jackson stepping through a whistle, and score it for Gigi Jackson.
26:49Foul on Cam Johnson.
26:51And then Gigi Jackson, great job there.
26:55Shot clock running down.
26:57The handles there goes up underneath the defenders, so many offensive players does.
27:01And then the concentration to also finish the play.
27:06Gigi Jackson double figures now in 9 of 11.
27:10And he has 11 of his 18 here in the quarter.
27:14And they needed him to be big here in his third quarter because Jamal Murray was so big on the other side.
27:19And Gigi Jackson converts to a three-point play.
27:24I'm going to go big for the Grizzlies here, partner.
27:26If you get a stop on this possession here, and they score, can they get two stops and a score to go into the fourth?
27:33Jokic sitting on a triple-double with his next assist.
27:36Leans into Lovering, misses the three.
27:41Cross for the rebound.
27:45Nine, the difference between the two clocks.
27:47Meshack to the rim.
27:50Beautiful move.
27:51Second second.
27:52Can he get another stop?
27:53Here, good job by Lovering to not get a foul on that punt fake three.
27:57Two, the difference between the two clocks.
27:59No fouls to give either way.
28:00Gigi Jackson is tied to season I with 19.
28:09Cam Johnson, Jokic, deals.
28:11Hardaway is three.
28:13He's through, and there's your triple-double for Jokic.
28:1920th triple-double for Jokic on the season.
28:22Meshack to beat the Horn.
28:24And that will put a cap on the third quarter.
28:27Again, you do not fault the effort.
28:31No.
28:32That was a great execution play there to get Hardaway at that three.
28:36Jokic, his 100.
28:40There's 33rd double, 34th double-double, 20th triple-double.
28:45Nuggets lead it by 12.
28:47Heading to the full.
28:47Cent from the floor.
28:48More free throws, more rebounds, more assists, and more paint points.
28:51Jokic, his 183rd career triple-double, and 20th this season.
28:59And second in as many games against the Grizzlies.
29:05Hardaway had it knocked away.
29:07Meshack.
29:08He is a defensive wizard.
29:12Meshack, Jackson Wells, Spencer, and Lovering for the Grizzlies to start the fourth.
29:17Gigi will get two at the line and an opportunity to set a new season high in points.
29:31And note of all that, neither Ty Jerome nor Scottie Pippen are on the floor.
29:36Pippen would have about six minutes left in his limit, and Jerome about five.
29:41So, yeah, at least you have the option to go back to one of those guys, if needed, here, in this fourth quarter.
29:52Gigi Jackson making his eighth start of the season.
29:56He's been averaging 11 a game in starts.
29:59A season high 20 tonight in his starting role.
30:03And the thing with Gigi is it's an efficient night for him.
30:07Six of ten from the floor, three of five from the three-point line.
30:10This will be a seven free throw.
30:11It's five or six at this point.
30:13So, you like to see these tight games.
30:16And that's where we've been talking a lot more about the Gigi this season in terms of how efficient he has been.
30:23You know another number I like on Gigi Jackson's box score?
30:26Tell me, Barber.
30:26Zero turnovers.
30:28Go on with three rebounds, three assists.
30:31Strother around the Valanchunas screen.
30:33His floater is in.
30:34Nuggets start the fourth with Strother, Johnson, Hardaway, Brown, and Valanchunas.
30:42Spencer would love to get on track.
30:47Second consecutive night of cold shooting from him.
30:49He's also being defended by a very good one-on-one defender in Brown, a clock under five.
31:01Dan Johnson will get the easy one.
31:03And Gigi Jackson smacks his head as he commits his first turnover in the game.
31:08He lost his footing there, slipped.
31:11Just tried to get the ball to a teammate.
31:12Lovering screens for Cam.
31:22Driving into the lane.
31:23And that's got to be a Valanchunas foul.
31:26As he took Lovering down.
31:29The other thing, again, I mentioned it,
31:31when the Grizzlies were going through their struggles here in the third quarter.
31:35You see the easy call here is Valanchunas with the push down there.
31:39Took out two bowling pins.
31:41Just look at Lovering.
31:46Oh, wow.
31:47Where am I going?
31:49But the thing is, they have to continue to work on their spacing in these half-court sets.
31:54Too many times, again, too close to one another.
31:56Right.
31:56And then you basically bring two or three defenders into the picture.
32:00Wells against the shot clock for three.
32:02Knocks it down.
32:04Jalen Wells with 15 on the night.
32:06Jalen has shot the ball better here as of late.
32:12Also, for the Grizzlies, what is Grizzlies saying?
32:14You're going to the Rising Stars events.
32:18And into it, no.
32:19As Strother hits that.
32:21Cam Spencer will be there as well.
32:23Cedric Coward, so the Grizzlies sending three to that event.
32:26And you know if Zach Eady were available to play, he would have made it two.
32:35Spencer, a long two.
32:37That's the shot that hit, partner.
32:38Yep.
32:38I know it didn't go down, but that is the shot that is available against this Nuggets defense.
32:43Welles defending against Strother.
32:54Cam just one of eight from the floor tonight.
32:57And Ty Jerome's going to get some more run here along with Kyle Anderson, Spencer, and Lovering to the bench.
33:05This group on the floor here.
33:08The Grizzlies are going to challenge that last defensive foul on Jalen Wells.
33:13All right.
33:16We'll go back to Secaucus.
33:19They got more Denver Armuts left.
33:21Boy, I would love at least a piece.
33:22Next form in Landers Center with Junior Grizzlies Game Day Clinics.
33:25Kids ages 6 to 14 can level up their game and their game day fun with on-court instruction from Junior Grizzlies coaches.
33:33And great gear.
33:34After review, the first illegal contact was by Wells.
33:38As he goes top of the screen and makes illegal contact, body-to-body contact with Struthers.
33:44Therefore, the challenge is unsuccessful, and it will remain Denver ball.
33:47Thank you, Jason Goble.
33:49Kids, you can not only get that instruction, get great gear.
33:52You'll have access at Grizzlies and Hustle games as well.
33:55You can register for a clinic at grizzlies.com slash junior grizzlies.
33:58The next game day clinic is February the 20th.
34:01The Hustle will be hosting Stockton that day.
34:05So no more challenges for the Grizzlies, even if they've been successful.
34:09Struthers misses and kept in by Valanchunas.
34:12I'm going to say with Valanchunas, they say, yo, any of the balls that fall around the rim, easy pickings for them.
34:18And Wells is fouled before the shot.
34:22Foul on Julian Strother.
34:28Grizzlies have won only ten times all time in Denver.
34:33Ten.
34:34Is that the Memphis Grizzlies or is that Vancouver included?
34:37That's the whole thing.
34:39The whole getting caboodle.
34:40The whole thing.
34:42Wow.
34:43The whole caboodle of nothing but the caboodle.
34:45Ty Jerome skipped past Gigi.
34:49Caldwell Pope drives a running attempt off glass.
34:52Tipped by Kyle Anderson up and in.
34:56Probably one of the better offensive groups that the Grizzlies can put on the floor with the mixing and matching that they're going to have to do.
35:02So stops will be at a premium.
35:04But once they go the other way, they should have options on the offensive end.
35:12Strother on the deck.
35:13Slams on the brakes.
35:14Shot clock down to four.
35:16Hardaway Jr.
35:17Rises, fires, fills it up.
35:19Hardaway Jr.
35:20An 18-point night on seven shots.
35:23Six of seven from the floor.
35:25KCP.
35:26Great drop off to Wells for the dog.
35:28We've seen some athletic plays here this evening from Jalen Wells.
35:33A little bounce in his legs.
35:35Yeah, solid outing by Jalen tonight.
35:3817 points for him.
35:40Jalen averaging 12 on the year.
35:42Picked off by Valanchunas on the screen.
35:47A pick and pop, except Valanchunas still waiting on it.
35:52Kyle with a knock away.
35:59Four gone by here in the fourth.
36:01Jerome around the Kyle Anderson screen.
36:06Drew contact from Valanchunas and will get two at the line.
36:11Said offensively, the Grizzlies were going to have options on this end.
36:15The drive here by Kenny.
36:17Good job by Jalen Wells.
36:18Sees that Tim Hardaway Jr.
36:20Not focusing in on him at all.
36:23Timely backdoor cut.
36:25So Ty will go to the line where he is six of seven tonight.
36:29Averaging just under 19.8.
36:31Just under 20 points per game at 19.8.
36:37Valanchunas, his second foul.
36:39And for more on Jalen, let's go over to Rob Fisher.
36:41Well, as you mentioned, Pete, Jalen Wells is going to be heading to the Rising Stars competition this weekend at All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles.
36:48He said, honestly, just going out there and having fun is my goal.
36:51Going into my second year, I'm just excited to be able to be close to home for this game as well.
36:56I think it's a good time to just kind of celebrate your accomplishment throughout the first part of the season.
37:00Then it kind of helps you stay motivated for the rest of the season.
37:03It builds on the things that got you here and then being able to build upon that for the rest of the year.
37:08So while all of us will be resting, he's going to be getting ready and getting prepared for that second half of the season, guys.
37:13Yeah, it's great to see the recognition for all of his hard work.
37:20Valanchunas against Caldwell Pope.
37:24Valanchunas comes to nothing.
37:30Caldwell Pope for three.
37:32And all of a sudden, Grizzlies have rallied within eight.
37:35Talking about it, this is one of their better offensive units.
37:38Even put Hendrick on the floor.
37:41And that offense coming to fruition right now.
37:44Grizzlies have made five more threes than the Nuggets.
37:49That's the first for KCP.
37:51His first score of the night.
37:54National paper player of the game.
37:55A season high.
37:5621 for him.
37:58And he leads the Grizzlies plus six tonight.
38:02Gigi has been fantastic again here tonight.
38:05And it's right from the outset of the game.
38:07He's made sure that he's in the right spot to be an outlet for a driver.
38:11When he gets the basketball, it is decisive whether I'm going to the basket or moving the basketball along.
38:16And because of that, it allows him, it's allowed him to be effective for this Grizzlies team on the offensive end.
38:23It's the reason why he's our international paper player of the game.
38:30Julian Strother tries that three off the front rim.
38:34And the rebound.
38:36Hendricks comes away with it.
38:37Kyle, a little floater off balance.
38:47I'm not sure who makes more awkward shots.
38:49Ty Jerome or Kyle Anderson?
38:52Which one looks more often?
38:54It's been affected.
39:00A whistle and a foul on Jalen Wells.
39:03You see here's a nice throwback here to Kyle.
39:08And even on that little floater, you see the eyes.
39:11So look to see, is there somebody open a cutting?
39:13No, I have the floater off glass.
39:17Jamal Murray on the floor.
39:20With Brown, Strother, Brown, and Valanchunas.
39:24Step back, Jamal Murray.
39:27Grizzlies force a miss.
39:29It's a two-possession game.
39:30Six and a half remaining.
39:31Pull up three.
39:32Jerome, it's through!
39:34Three-point game!
39:36I'll tell you, but it all started on this defensive end.
39:38Well, he said this is a great offensive group.
39:40They're going to have to contest defensively.
39:42And, boy, they are contesting extremely well.
39:46Jokic back to the scorers' table.
39:49Valanchunas fouled by Anderson, his fifth.
39:51And so, even on a night when things aren't going his way, Ty Jerome still with the guts to take a big-time shot and make a big-time shot.
40:09And aggressive, going to the rim and dealing five assists.
40:14Eight of nine from the free-throw line.
40:16Welles out, Prosper in.
40:20Jokic back in for Denver.
40:22Kristen Brown drives, and Kyle Anderson is fouled out.
40:26He's trying to get out of the way.
40:38And Kyle is done for the night.
40:44Eight points, three rebounds, and Lawson Lovering will come back in.
40:50It's a big loss because of what we talked about with Kyle, being able to do a lot of the nuanced things that you need on the floor down the stretch.
41:00But also, he was a really good defender for Jokic.
41:03And now, when I talked about not being tricked by Jokic, now Lovering will have to go on the floor and stand up to Jokic here for these last six minutes.
41:16And Ty Jerome is at 19 minutes.
41:18Pippen has not come back since he logged 14, so it'll be interesting to see how much longer Jerome stays out there.
41:28And if Pippen comes in to spell him, because we're at the midway point, six minutes remaining in regulation.
41:36Five-point game.
41:40Prosper off the bounce, in the lane, a little show-and-go, banks it in.
41:44And there's that cross-court pass.
41:45Remember I said they float the paint on any high screen and roll.
41:48Oh, the cross-court passes will be there.
41:50Nice pass, good finish, though, by Olmec.
41:54Christian Brown driving.
41:58Shot clock at 10.
41:59And Ty Jerome is holding.
42:04Grisly's over the limit.
42:06Jokic to the line.
42:09With Olmec to the basket here.
42:11Nice job of finishing through the contact.
42:17So Jokic, 7 of 10 from the line tonight.
42:23It hasn't been an overwhelming night for Jokic, but that just speaks to his greatness in that he doesn't have to be overwhelming or look overwhelming to have a stat line that reads 20, 13 rebounds, 10 assists, with another free throw coming here.
42:41How many times do you say that?
42:42I just felt like he just wasn't dominating the night.
42:45And then you look at his stats and you're like, oh, he was dominating.
42:48And he did that in 28 minutes.
42:53Special player.
42:54Yep.
42:54Might be one of the most effective and efficient players in league history.
42:58Olmec, a three.
43:03Bang-a-hole.
43:05Holy cow.
43:06Swing the ball to the weak side.
43:08You'll get what you want, whether it's a drive to the basket or a shot.
43:11It's nice to have a player of Olmec's ability to be the one you're swinging it to.
43:16We're in a clutch situation.
43:19It seems it always is thus with the Grizzlies.
43:22Another close game.
43:23Under five minutes.
43:25It's a one-point game.
43:26Murray driving, dishing out of the corner.
43:29Bruce Brown's three is through.
43:33Huge three-point make by Bruce Brown.
43:36That's why they brought him back, partner.
43:38They understand.
43:39He has a winning mentality.
43:42Nice.
43:42Lovering.
43:43Yes!
43:44How about the physical move there by Lovering, the shoulder into Jamal Murray to then get
43:51the finish.
43:54Lovering averaging seven and a half with the hustle.
43:57Two-point game.
44:05Murray around a Jokic screen.
44:07Shot clock down to three.
44:09Jokic, shot clock winding down.
44:10Shot clock violation!
44:14Great multiple efforts by the Grizzlies.
44:19You see here, they try to double-team.
44:21He said you can get the ball swung.
44:22You'll get whatever you want on the weak side.
44:24And Olmec makes them pay on the other end.
44:27And then so many times you've been throwing it across.
44:30Well, now you get the big floating down the middle.
44:33Lovering.
44:33Nice physical finish inside of the nice find from Ty Jerome.
44:38For his first NBA basket.
44:39So Pippen in for Jerome.
44:48Kendricks drives the lane.
44:49Finger rolls it in.
44:51Tie game at 109.
44:54Look at this Grizzlies basketball team.
44:57How can you not be impressed with the efforts that we have seen?
45:00You've got to call this moving screen.
45:03Hardaway Jr. for three.
45:08The thing is, though, they let the screen go out front.
45:11So if you let the moving screen go, that means that the Grizzlies will be behind defensively.
45:15And it leads to Tim Hardaway Jr. wide open in the corner.
45:1821 for Hardaway Jr.
45:20Caldwell Pope can't answer with a three.
45:22For Hardaway Jr.'s 13th 20-point game of the season.
45:30Four of five from three.
45:39Jokic stumbling.
45:41Lovering.
45:42Got the knockaway.
45:43Offensive foul.
46:01Here's good defense.
46:02Lovering gets his hands up as Jokic tries to go through defensively.
46:07And then on this end, you see there, Scottie Pippen Jr. with the grab, up arm grab against
46:14Tim Hardaway Jr.
46:17When we talk about clutch situations, final five minutes margin within five.
46:21Denver 13-13 in clutch games.
46:24Jokic is the third leading scorer in clutch time, averaging five and a half points per clutch
46:30situation.
46:31The ball in his hands now.
46:33Murray, Bruce Brown another three, and Pippen a very easy foul call as he pushed Jokic out
46:44of the way.
46:44And Jokic go to the line where he is 8 of 12 tonight.
46:49Denver 13-13 in clutch games.
47:02For the Grizzlies, 11-20.
47:06This is the 17th time in the last 27 games the Grizzlies have been involved in a clutch game.
47:12They are 4-12 in the previous 16.
47:18And hopefully everyone understands why.
47:20A lot of those games, you're talking about you need guys that are finishers, which also
47:25need guys that at least know what you're trying to execute to get done.
47:30The Grizzlies team has been mixing and mixing and matching all season long.
47:34And when it's come down to these end-of-game situations, just don't come up with the plays
47:38necessary.
47:39And the hardest thing when you're mixing and matching lineups is half-court offense.
47:44Caldwell close.
47:45Yes.
47:52One thing about this Grizzlies group, all-star break did not start early.
47:58This is highly impressive when we're watching them get a confidence here.
48:03Jokic on the back down.
48:05A little up and under.
48:06Short.
48:07And rebounds his own miss.
48:09That's why he leads the league in second-chance points.
48:16The thing is, you never say quick too much with him, but quick to his misses all the time.
48:21Pippen's floater, yes.
48:23I was going to say, it was nice to be able to have one of those guys on the floor in winning
48:27time.
48:27Scottie Pippen.
48:28Scottie Pippen, Julian, nice floater there.
48:33The Grizzlies need to stop.
48:34A minute and a half remaining.
48:36We're going to talk through these screen situations.
48:38whether Jokic is setting or Jokic is getting the screen set for him.
48:45They switch.
48:45They actually don't.
48:47They don't.
48:47They don't.
48:47Lovering stays with him.
48:48Oh!
48:48Dubbed down.
48:49Ball popped three.
48:50Picked up by Pippen.
48:51Has prosper on the wings.
48:52Scottie to the rim.
48:53Off the glass.
48:54And in.
48:56One-point game.
48:57One-sixteen, one-fifteen.
48:5975 seconds remaining in regulation.
49:02Listen, Jokic going for a quadruple double here.
49:05And the turnovers, nine turnovers.
49:07The Grizzlies, 22 points off turnovers.
49:10And the Grizzlies have turned it over just six times as a team.
49:13Jokic is floater.
49:13He's short.
49:14Rebound.
49:15Jokic got it back.
49:16Jokic.
49:18Another second chance score for Jokic.
49:21Still at one possession game.
49:28118-115.
49:30Everybody here at Ball Arena on their feet.
49:34Defense!
49:35Defense!
49:36Defense!
49:39Defense!
49:39Pippen driving, floating.
49:41No!
49:44And a jump ball on a wedgie.
49:48J.J. Jackson running through it.
49:49Got a finger on that basketball, forcing it inside.
49:53But you see here, good defense again.
49:55A knockaway by Kenny.
49:56The push by Scottie Pippen, Jr.
49:58Nice job using the contact to create space for that lay-in.
50:05So now a jump ball with 44.2.
50:08Both teams have two timeouts remaining.
50:11No fouls to give either way.
50:13It's nice to have Lovering in the game so that he's there to jump in this situation.
50:19But Dender wins a tap.
50:25And you know it's going to be a two-man game between Murray and Jokic.
50:28The Grizzlies have to know where the help is going to come from.
50:36Jokic with the screen.
50:37Murray.
50:38Jokic with the three.
50:39No!
50:40Rebound Caldwell-Pope.
50:43Fractional difference.
50:44Shot clock.
50:44The game clock.
50:46Caldwell-Pope.
50:47A three.
50:48No!
50:49And the rebound to Jamal Murray.
50:51He's got a foul.
50:53And Pippen does.
50:54You can see here.
51:05Kenny goes for the quick three there.
51:08Doesn't go.
51:08That means the Grizzlies have to play the foul game at this point.
51:12And Murray is four for four from the line tonight and 88% for the season.
51:23And Murray throughout the year has logged a ton of minutes.
51:27He is sixth in minutes per game at about 36 per.
51:30But he has made it a two-possession game with 11.7 remaining.
51:38Listen, they're pushing his Nuggets team to the brink.
51:41The team that was desperate for a win.
51:45Nuggets had lost their last two in this building, three of their last five.
51:51Well, Jokic, 183rd triple-double tonight.
51:55And big in the fourth quarter.
52:02Jokic with seven of his 26 in the period.
52:06Yeah, he has been dominant.
52:07And they knew once the game got down to this point that there was going to be a lot more of Jokic,
52:14a lot more of Jamal Murray.
52:15And even when you know what's coming, very hard to slow the two of them down
52:19because you get two great offensive players playing off of one another,
52:23but also two guys that aren't selfish players that are able to find others.
52:28And Jokic, even on nights where you feel as though he does not look himself,
52:33he is not as dominating.
52:34We talk about the nine turnovers that he's had in his game.
52:37He is still the most dominant person on the floor.
52:43Grizzlies 26 fast-break points tonight as you look at the line for Jokic.
52:49They made him work for all that he got here tonight.
53:08So this year for the Grizzlies, you will love, partner,
53:11to be able to find a great look from the three-point line.
53:16So Cam Spencer into the game.
53:27Another person there, because Jokic is guarding Scottie Pippen Jr.,
53:31see, once the ball comes in bounds, if he get it back to get a quick shot.
53:36Got deflected, Lovering, Pippen, and they call the foul out on the floor.
53:49Foul on Jokic.
53:53And Lovering will be going to the line for two free throws here.
53:57Boy, the play was there, though, partner.
53:59Got it in the get-back.
54:03Scottie Pippen Jr. was there.
54:05Good foul.
54:06Lovering only 38% with the hustle from the free throw line,
54:10but calmly buries the first.
54:14Get your defender back in the game.
54:16Cam Spencer out.
54:17Omax into the game.
54:19First thing for the Grizzlies, make sure you talk out who has who right now.
54:23Margin is four.
54:35And the rebound to the baseline, and Denver comes away with it.
54:39And the Grizzlies foul at 4.9.
54:41And Murray will go back to the free throw line
54:54and put, presumably, the final touches on this one.
54:57But, man, Brevin, you cannot emphasize how impressive this game was
55:02from a Memphis perspective.
55:05They're super undersized.
55:07They bring in Lovering.
55:08This is his first game, first NBA action.
55:09They had one practice that he went through with them.
55:13And the Denver Nuggets had to play their normal rotation
55:15to be able to win this game.
55:17And it took a massive effort from Murray in the third
55:21and Jokic here in the fourth
55:23for them to be able to pull this basketball game out.
55:26Murray had to play 33, Jokic 34.
55:37Grizzlies will take a timeout here.
55:38With 4.9 remaining Nuggets with a two-possession lead.
55:44Tonight's game produced by Scott Zachary, directed by Tom Hewitt.
55:47Brian Wright with the graphics.
55:49Joel Balmos ripping and clipping the replays.
55:51And, Brevin, you talked about Jalen Wells.
55:54He's gone through peaks and valleys with his shot.
55:57His shot right now is spot on.
55:597 of 9, 2 of 3 from 3.
56:01And he came in shooting 48% for free in the five games leading into tonight.
56:06I would say this for Jalen Wells is what we've been saying for Gigi Jackson
56:10in terms of the shots that he is getting on the offensive end
56:14are not forced shots anymore.
56:17They are shots that present themselves.
56:19And I say tonight we saw a level of athleticism from Jalen Wells
56:23getting to the basket, finishes around the basket.
56:25But the standstill threes have been there again.
56:29The great defense has been there again.
56:30And so, I think what we're seeing is Jalen Wells doing a little bit less
56:35than what he was doing to start the season,
56:38but getting more out of him and doing that.
56:42Here's another way to put this game in context.
56:45The six previous games in Denver,
56:47the Grizzlies lost by an average of 19 points per game.
56:50Oh, I remember we were here for all of them.
56:52Yes, we were.
56:53Yes, we were.
56:55Twice in those six, the Grizzlies were held to under 100 points.
56:59This is the first time in the last seven trips into this building
57:03that the Grizzlies have scored more than 109.
57:07We said it was a massive effort.
57:10You always like to finish games with victories.
57:14Not all the time does it work in that fashion.
57:17Piffin over Jamal Murray for three.
57:21And that will do it.
57:23Your final here in Denver.
57:25Nuggets get their 35th win of the season, 122-116.
57:30Grizzlies, a valiant effort tonight.
57:34They tie their season low with only six turnovers,
57:37put up 26 fast break points,
57:40get a season-high 21 from G.G. Jackson,
57:42but it's not enough.
57:44122-116.
57:45Denver wins it tonight over the Grizzlies.
57:48Back to wrap it up.
