MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES-NEW YORK KNICKS 115-112 OT

The Grizzlies’ season begins with a thrilling match, forced to play 5 minutes longer than expected after Cam Reddish’s triple at the end (22 points and 9/15 off the bench) brings the score even on 108. The Knicks do not give up also thanks to 15 points and 9 assists by Jalen Brunson, while to decide the challenge is the triple target of Tyus Jones at 47 seconds from the siren of the OT, while the attempt of Fournier to send the game to the 2nd overtime does not find the bottom of the net.
Also ahead by 19 points in the third quarter, the Grizzlies thus waste a huge margin and are then forced to win again thanks to the super performance of Ja Morant – author of 34 points with 11/24 shooting and 9 assists, while Santi Aldama adds 18 with 11 rebounds; six points more than John Konchar, both starters in a quintet to which coach Taylor Jenkins is trying to give the right physiognomy.
