DAILY BREAKING: Grizzlies Dominate Hornets, Extend Winning Streak to Four Games wit….

Memphis, TN — The Memphis Grizzlies continue their red-hot streak, defeating the Charlotte Hornets 118-105 on Tuesday night to secure their fourth consecutive win. With a blend of dominant defense, precise shooting, and unrelenting energy, the Grizzlies are making their presence known as a formidable contender in the NBA this season.

Ja Morant Shines Once Again
Leading the charge for Memphis was their star point guard, Ja Morant, who delivered a spectacular performance with 32 points, 9 assists, and 7 rebounds. Morant’s ability to control the tempo of the game and consistently break down Charlotte’s defense kept the Hornets on their heels all night.
Ja was in his element,” said head coach Taylor Jenkins. “He’s the heartbeat of this team, and when he’s on, it elevates everyone else.”

Balanced Scoring Attack
While Morant was the standout, the Grizzlies’ victory was a collective effort. Forward Jaren Jackson Jr. contributed 21 points and 10 rebounds, showcasing his ability to dominate the paint on both ends of the floor. Meanwhile, Desmond Bane chipped in 18 points, including four three-pointers, to keep the Hornets’ defense stretched thin.
The Grizzlies’ bench also played a significant role, with Tyus Jones and Brandon Clarke combining for 24 points. The depth of Memphis’ roster continues to be a critical factor in their recent success.

Defensive Masterclass
On the defensive side, the Grizzlies were relentless, forcing 17 turnovers and holding the Hornets to just 42% shooting from the field. Dillon Brooks was instrumental in limiting Charlotte’s star forward, Gordon Hayward, who struggled to find his rhythm and ended the night with only 12 points.
Defense is where we win games,” said Jackson Jr. after the victory. “We take pride in making it tough for opponents, and tonight was no different.”

Hornets’ Struggles Continue
The Hornets, on the other hand, faced their third straight loss, dropping their record to 22-28. Despite a strong effort from guard LaMelo Ball, who tallied 26 points and 8 assists, the team couldn’t overcome their shooting woes and turnovers. P.J. Washington added 19 points, but the lack of consistent offensive production from the supporting cast proved costly.
“We’ve got to clean up our execution,” said Hornets head coach Steve Clifford. “Turnovers and missed opportunities are killing us, and it’s something we need to address immediately.”

What’s Next?
With this win, the Grizzlies improve to 32-16 and remain second in the Western Conference standings. They’ll look to extend their streak to five games as they prepare to face the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday.
The Hornets, now desperate for a turnaround, will travel to Miami to take on the Heat in their next matchup.

Fan and Analyst Reactions
The Grizzlies’ recent success has drawn praise from analysts and fans alike. “This team is legit,” said NBA analyst Kendrick Perkins. “They’ve got the talent, depth, and chemistry to make a deep playoff run.”
For Memphis, the path forward looks bright, but the team remains focused on the task at hand. As Ja Morant put it, “We’re just taking it one game at a time and trying to get better every day.”
