I was currently getting ready for tip off, doing some stretches with the team trainers. Lying down on a mat bringing my left knee up to my chest, then stretching it I did the same with my right leg.

Guarding Fox he was cautious to follow his every move not letting him out of his sight. Elijah got around a screen set for fox and was able to steal the ball passing to his team mate Dillion Brooks who had made his pass half court line and heading for the basket. Dillion got the ball, rose up to the air and slammed the ball into rim. Giving Grizzlies two point and Elijah an assist.
Back on offense Elijah had the ball now back to being guarded by Fox, he took advantage of the height difference and shot a three making it. His teammate celebrated the daring three.
"Sabonis is open" I hinted to my team, Adams quickly got on him as soon as the ball was passed to King's center blocking his layup attempt.
"OHH block by Adams the Memphis big man. Was quick to spot the open opponent big man"
