Round 1, Game 7
Final: Grizzlies 72, Clippers 82 - May 13, 2012

In a tight and physical Game 7, the Grizzlies were unable to keep pace down the stretch of an 82-72 home loss to the Clippers in Game 7 on Sunday. Rudy Gay and Marc Gasol both scored 19 points. Zach Randolph had a game-high 12 rebounds.

Key Stat of the Night

The Clippers’ defense held the Grizzlies to 25-of-77 (32.5 percent) shooting in the game, including 0-of-13 from long range. It was the only game in the series in which Memphis failed to convert at least 40 percent of its shot attempts.Los Angeles’ bench scored 41 points in the game, including 25 of the Clippers’ 27 fourth quarter points.

Key Run of the Night

Memphis led 56-55 heading into the fourth quarter, but Los Angeles seized control of the game with an 11-2 run to start the final period. A tip-in by Kenyon Martin at the 8:41 mark finished the run and gave the Clippers a 66-58 advantage.

 

[UTVolCountry]

Tough, hard fought series between Memphis and Los Angeles. The Grizzlies failed to take advantage of homecourt and close-out the Clippers Sunday afternoon. I believe Memphis would've only been the 8th team to ever overcome a 3-1 deficit.

They end the season 41-25 (4th in the Western Conference).

Memphis apparently forgot how to play basketball.
