Sharing a winning formula for Grizzlies

The Grizzlies are off to a 5-11 start, but this could be a sign of things to come, Morant is still shelved, and the Grizzlies have yet to play with offseason acquisition Ty Jerome.

The Grizzlies offense was in its flow state against the Kings, led by Santi Aldama's 29-point performance. The Grizzlies produced 56 points in the paint and 22 second chance points while shooting above 50% from the floor. A true domination of Sacramento.

But the assists, limited turnovers (7), and free flowing offense were the story. The Grizzlies were led by Vince Williams Jr. and his 15 assists, cashing in with 6 to Aldama (17 points) and 4 to Zach Edey (9 points). But Williams wasn't the only one dishing out clean looks, Kentavious Caldwell Pope had 7 of his own with 0 turnovers, and Cam Spencer had 6 while also not turning the ball over.

After finishing with a career high 15 assists, Vince Williams had some jokes post-game-

One of the 42 assists was this beautiful pass by rookie Cedric Howard-

Now this performance is what the Grizzlies could be, last season their offense ranked 8th is assists per game and 7th in offensive efficiency. The Grizzlies are way better than their record and they are getting healthy.

Stacking performances like the one against Sacramento and getting healthy (Jerome, Morant, Jaren Jackson, and others) are essential for coach Iisalo and the Grizzlies success down the road.

Without their stars, it is essential for the Grizzlies to play this brand of team basketball, the one where the ball is always moving and they limit their turnovers. Limit the opposing teams' possessions and generate clean looks.

This win snapped a 5-game skid for even during this time there have been glimpses of what could be with this team. Zach Edey's impact is clear, Cedric Howard's ceiling is quite high, and now breaking the franchise record for assists.

The Grizzlies will continue to try and survive this stretch without their star and need to replicate the winning formula they produced against the Kings.
