The Grizzlies will sleep better after a big win

Grizzly Santi Aldama Before the match, he admitted that he had trouble sleeping because of the series of defeats. That’s how Santi Aldama ensured that he and the Grizzlies finally got out of this negative spiral. After five straight losses, the Memphis players had a golden opportunity to do so with a reception at Kraljevo.

One of the few teams in the league that shows even worse dynamics. And despite the absence of Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr., the Grizzlies have taken the bull by the horns.

Starting with Aldama, who rewarded his coach, who started him for the first time this year, with a career-high 29 points (11/18) in 28 minutes. The Spaniard wasn’t the only player at the party, at the heart of a night that ended with 137 points and 42 assists. A franchise record.

Jock Landale had 21 points off the bench, Cedric Coward 19 points, Zach Eddy was flawless with 16 points on 7/7 shooting, while Vince Williams Jr. served all these wonderful people with 15 assists. And there’s a career high.

Tuomas Iisalo proud of his players

The latter assures that he was aiming for the milestone of 20 assists. But considering his playing time (24 minutes), his performance is already a feat. “ My teammates made me shine », assures the one who did not shine in “achievement” (4 points on 2/7), but whom his coach describes as ” quarterback » evenings.

One more man can breathe after this success, Tuomas Iisalo. ” We’re working very hard to try to figure out what’s wrong, and everyone is pushed to their limits. It’s great to see a day where everything comes together perfectly and you play extremely well collectively. », greets the coach.

The technician is well aware of the difficulties in adjusting his offense due to injuries at key positions. ” These difficulties create a solution-oriented mindset, to try to find something that works and accelerate the development of other players », analyzed the coach who managed to get a good overview of this game.

On Saturday in Dallas, his team will try to build on the floor of the team behind them in the standings in the West. Then, after getting the Nuggets, the Grizzlies will travel to the Pelicans and Clippers, two other opponents within easy reach. Meanwhile, Santi Aldama should go back to sleep: “ I will sleep much better than I have lately. This one feels good. It feels good to come back to win. »
