Shooting Splendour and Comeback Victory
Barnes made a sharp turnaround from a previous shooting slump, converting his first three three-point attempts and establishing a new season high. He finished the evening with 7 for 12 from deep and 10 for 20 shooting overall. Fox was instrumental in the decisive moments, scoring 11 points in the fourth quarter to help San Antonio overturn a seven-point deficit. The result lifts the Spurs to a 9-2 home record this season.
Grizzlies’ Efforts and Individual Performances
Zach Edey controlled the interior in Wembanyama’s absence, with an efficient 8 for 12 shooting performance, 19 points, and 15 rebounds – 11 of them on the defensive glass. The Grizzlies, who outscored the Spurs 58-42 in the paint, also received significant contributions from Cam Spencer, who delivered a season-high 21 points, and Jaylen Wells, who added 20. Jaren Jackson Jr. was restricted to seven points and six rebounds on the night.
Edey figured in two physical incidents, including a loose ball foul in the first half after pulling Jeremy Sochan’s arm, and a reviewed common foul after an elbow to Luke Kornet’s face with 9:36 left in the game.
Looking Ahead
The Grizzlies, who have posted five wins in their past seven games even in Ja Morant’s absence, will next host the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday. San Antonio travel to Orlando on Wednesday as they look to extend their impressive home and post-injury form.
