The Memphis Grizzlies have suffered their first loss of the season, falling to the New Orleans Pelicans 135-134 in a hard-fought overtime battle.

Zach Edey faced significant challenges throughout the game, accumulating fouls that hampered his playing time and performance. He struggled with tough matchups against New Orleans' bigs, Derik Queen and Karlo Matkovic, who exploited his foul trouble and stretched the floor effectively.
On the Grizzlies' side, Ty Jerome delivered an exceptional offensive performance, scoring 40 points to force overtime. His late-game surge, aided by a tightened Grizzlies defense, kept Memphis in contention. However, hot three-point shooting, while a strength for Memphis, wasn't enough to secure the win.
