Another powerful show was organized by Jonas Valančiūnas, who was the most productive in the local team. Memphis basketball players were led forward by the tall man despite thigh pain that led to the midfielder being added to the list of injured and potentially disabled players a few hours before kickoff.
Utena, who added six straight double-doubles, scored 22 points (9/16 colonies, 0/1 triples, 4/5 penalties), 11 rebounds, 3 assists and an intercepted ball in 33 minutes played. It should be noted that in this match JV never committed an offense and did not lose a single ball.
Valančiūnas was best assisted in the attack by young Grizzlies player Ja Morantas. The defender, who was selected as the NBA’s best rookie of the year last season, scored 20 points but was knocked off the court near the end of the fourth quarter due to two consecutive technical fouls.
In this first game, the Clippers, who allowed opponents to score 72 points in the penalty area, this time were looking to prevent the hosts from heading for the basket and force them to attack more often from distance. This game plan worked flawlessly – Memphis snipers caught just 9 of 28 shots.
Los Angeles team head coach Tyronnas Lue had to be satisfied with the play of his students in attack. The players, who played basketball based on beautiful movements of the ball, made 34 assists, thus capturing the best result of the team this season.
He provided 34 assists, the season’s high, on his way to victory.

Under new NBA rules that went into effect this season, 10th place in the regular season will allow the club that took it to compete for a playoff spot in an additional mini-tournament.
