Alright, so, I wanted to look into that basketball game – the Memphis Grizzlies versus the Houston Rockets. I’m not a huge sports guy, but I figured, why not? Let’s dig into some stats.
First, I opened up my browser and started searching for info about these two teams. I typed in “Memphis Grizzlies vs Houston Rockets stats.” Just a simple search, nothing too fancy. Found a few sites that listed out all their past games, wins, losses, scores, all that good stuff. I skimmed through the results. It was a lot of numbers to take in, you know?
Then I started comparing the teams. One thing I noticed is that the Rockets seemed to be better defensively. They were ranked 12th, letting in about 112.8 points per game. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies were ranked 24th in rebounds, with about 42.6 per game. That’s what the internet said, at least.
I also found a page that showed the head-to-head record. The Grizzlies had won 41 games, and the Rockets won 51. The average points per game were pretty close, around 99.7 for the Grizzlies and 101.9 for the Rockets. Looked like the Rockets had a bit of an edge over time. This was interesting to me. I didn’t expect the numbers to be so close.
Next, I compared some of their top players for the 2024-25 season. I’m not familiar with basketball players, but I figured I’d see what the fuss was about. I just looked at their points mostly. Nothing too in-depth, I was just curious.
One thing I stumbled upon was a recent game on December 13th. The Rockets won that one, 128-108. A guy named Jalen Green scored 22 points for the Rockets, and six other players scored in double digits. Seemed like a solid win for them. It’s always cool to see a team effort like that.
I also read a bit about an upcoming game on October 21st. Then I found something about a game where the Grizzlies scored 155 points against the Raptors. Apparently, that was their highest-scoring game ever. That’s a lot of points! It was also the most points in any NBA game this season. Impressive. This made me realize how unpredictable these games can be.
I also noticed that a top player for the Grizzlies, Ja Morant, is injured. He’s “week-to-week” with a shoulder sprain. So they’re leaning more on Desmond Bane, who’s apparently a good shooter. It’s tough when a star player is out, but it gives others a chance to shine.
So, that’s basically what I did. I just browsed around, looked at some stats, and learned a bit about these two teams. It was kind of interesting, even for someone like me who doesn’t follow sports that much. I wasn’t expecting to get this absorbed, to be honest. But yeah, that’s my little adventure into the world of NBA stats. It was fun to dive in and see what I could find.
