Memphis Grizzlies currently on a franchise best 10-game winning streak

Earlier in the season, the Memphis Grizzlies had an outstanding stretch of games without their star player, Ja Morant of Dalzell, South Carolina. Well, it appears they are able to win with Morant too.

After the Grizzlies’ 116-108 upset win over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday, Memphis has now won a franchise best 10 straight games. Memphis actually set a franchise record with their ninth straight win on Sunday with a 127-119 win over the Los Angeles Lakers. Their previous record was eight straight games, which they achieved on four separate occasions according to the Associated Press.
