The Grizzlies (47-32) shocked the league by firing coach Taylor Jenkins. They went on to lose four games in a row from March 27 to April 1. However, things have looked promising recently, as rivals losing and three consecutive road wins have seen them take the last spot for an automatic playoff place at the moment.
