Part 5/9:
Once inside, the atmosphere was electric, filled with celebrity attendees. Yet, as the game commenced, the Grizzlies’ performance was nothing short of disastrous. The excitement quickly transformed into disappointment as the team struggled, yielding a disheartening point deficit against the Knicks.
Jacoby humorously noted Ja Morant's poor performance, stating Morant was “minus 41” by the game’s end, while the rest of the team seemed to contribute to the Knicks' scoring. The Grizzlies’ play resembled that of the Washington Generals, consistently turning the ball over and allowing the Knicks to seize control.
