With a current record of 7-3, losses have ranged from overtime nail-biters to disappointing blowouts. A recurring concern has been the team's frequent turnovers, which have persisted across recent games. One highlight from a recent overtime thriller was Ty Jerome's 40-point performance, including a 9-0 run that kept the game in overtime. Despite Jerome's stellar play, Memphis could not secure the victory, primarily due to turnovers. The New Orleans Pelicans capitalized on these mistakes, converting 16 Grizzlies turnovers into 21 points.
