Grizzlies’ Unexpected Struggles: Is Something Dark Brewing Beneath the Surface?

In Memphis, just a few feet separate the benches of the Rockets and the Grizzlies, yet the energy and vibe felt worlds apart on Wednesday night. The Rockets’ 124-109 win over Memphis wasn’t just a scoreboard story—it was a study in contrasts, especially when you zero in on the roles and body language of the starting point guards. Houston’s bench, driven by Ime Udoka and Ben Sullivan, stayed relentlessly engaged with Amen Thompson, guiding him through a season of adapting to fresh strategies, all while rallying around a “family-first” mentality after losing Fred VanVleet to a torn ACL.
