The Memphis Grizzlies (10 - 8) defeated the New Orleans Pelicans (4 - 14) 113 - 104 on Tuesday night. In a battle of one of the worst offenses against one of the worst defenses, the bad offense prevailed. Memphis shot 48 percent from the field in this game, while attempting just 10 three - pointers. The big differences in the game were the free - throw shooting and rebounding. The Grizzlies went 25 - for - 26 from the free - throw line, while the Pelicans made the same amount in 33 attempts. Memphis also outrebounded New Orleans 49 - 37, which is a good sign with their rebounding struggles this season. Memphis got a much needed win here against a struggling New Orleans team. What is even better about this result is that it may give their offense a much needed boost. Marc Gasol had a fantastic game on Tuesday, as he tallied 38 points, 13 rebounds, six assists and four blocks in the win. The bench was effective as well, as three players scored in double - figures. This is a team hitting its stride after a terrible start to the season and that's a scary sight for the rest of the Western Conference. The Grizzlies will look to build off this win when they take on the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday. The Pelicans defense let them down once again, as they allowed another 110 - plus point game. The loss now makes them 1 - 10 on the road this season and it's starting to look like a lost year for the playoff hopefuls. The Pelicans did get some nice performances in this game though. Anthony Davis set a season - high with nine blocks in the loss and also recorded a double - double. Tyreke Evans also made his season debut and played brilliantly, totaling 20 points, 10 assists and five rebounds in the defeat. Evans is a great talent and this team should be much better off with him in the lineup. It remains to be seen if he'll play in New Orleans next game, as it's the second half of a back - to - back against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday.
