The Grizzlies, on the other hand, are at 36-23 and are trying to maintain their hold on the West’s No. 2.
Despite the gap in the standings, quite a rivalry is brewing between these two teams.

Expect another thriller in this given the stakes and the fact that these teams will be playing it again in Los Angeles in a week.
