basketball game to be able to walk out of here with the W.

Yeah, this was not a game.

It could clear the bench.

They only went nine deep.

The Grizzlies only had nine healthy players,

and then only eight after Jake La Ravia sprained an ankle after playing just one minute.

Grizzlies with six in double figures led by Gigi Jackson with

Julius Randall, a game high 24.

Knicks.

That was interesting.

So the Knicks escape with a win.

Sure.

Let's go with escape with a win in Memphis against the team that was missing.

I think it's entire like if you gave if you gave them if you filled out a sheet with their ideal rotation before

the season started including players who were like out for the year i don't think a single one of

those players was was healthy tonight maybe one um and so of course the nicks being the nix

made this game much closer than it had any right to be made it much more interesting than it had a right to be and actually as only the Knicks can gave us a lot more to talk about than they probably should have.

I'm going to start by congratulating Thomas Tibido on his 500th career win, as will surprise nobody.

And I will just say that it is fitting for a man who has said that he is only happy when he is miserable to get his 500th win on a night when he is

purely miserable given the performance that the Knicks put forth in Memphis. So,

congrats to Tibbs. And of course, you know, it's just as fitting that on a night he gets his

500 win, there's going to be some controversy, you know, and Tibbs is going to do it in the way that Tibbs only knows how to do it.
