Game Analysis

Three-point efficiency provided the clearest difference. Both teams attempted 38 shots from beyond the arc, but Memphis made 19 while Sacramento connected on 11. That gave the Grizzlies a 24-point advantage from three-point range on identical attempt totals.

Memphis also held a substantial overall shooting advantage, finishing 47-for-85 from the field for 55.3%. Sacramento went 35-for-86, shooting 40.7%. The Kings actually made one more free throw than Memphis, 24 to 23, but that small advantage could not offset the difference in field-goal production.

The Grizzlies supported that efficiency with a 45-33 rebounding edge and 30 assists to Sacramento’s 25. Spencer’s distribution and Boozer’s scoring and rebounding gave Memphis strong contributions in multiple areas, while Acuff’s 38 points were not enough to keep the Kings within reach after the third quarter.
