Game Analysis: Shooting Efficiency Makes the Difference
Memphis converted fewer opportunities into more production. The Grizzlies made 42 of 79 field-goal attempts, shooting 53.2%, while Toronto went 39-for-90, or 43.3%. Despite taking 11 fewer shots, Memphis finished with three more made baskets.
The gap extended beyond the arc. Memphis connected on 16 of 34 three-point attempts, good for 47.1%, compared with Toronto’s 13-for-38 performance at 34.2%. Those three additional makes supplied a nine-point scoring advantage.
Free throws added another clear difference. Memphis went 18-for-19 at the line, a 94.7% conversion rate, while Toronto finished 11-for-17 at 64.7%. The Grizzlies combined accurate perimeter shooting with just one missed free throw to make their scoring opportunities count.
Both teams recorded 27 assists, but Memphis paired its ball movement with better shooting and a 10-rebound advantage. Shead’s playmaking and Poeltl’s interior contributions gave Toronto productive individual performances, yet the Raptors could not match the visitors’ efficiency or fourth-quarter output.
