NBA professional basketball team season
The 2003–04 NBA season was the Grizzlies' ninth season in the National Basketball Association , and their third season in Memphis . It was also the final season playing their home games at the Pyramid Arena .[1] They moved into FedExForum the next season. During the offseason, the Grizzlies signed free agent James Posey . After two unsuccessful seasons ever since they moved to Memphis, the Grizzlies finally played around .500 holding a 9–8 record as they acquired Bonzi Wells from the Portland Trail Blazers in early December. However, the team struggled posting a 7-game losing streak at the end of the month. Despite this, the Grizzlies continued to play their best basketball posting an 8-game winning streak in January, and winning 13 of their 15 games in March, as they made the playoffs for the first time in their franchise history, finishing fourth in the Midwest Division with a 50–32 record.
Pau Gasol continued to lead the team in scoring, rebounds and blocks, and 70-year old head coach Hubie Brown was named Coach of The Year.[2] However, the Grizzlies lost in the first round of the playoffs , losing four games straight to the defending champion San Antonio Spurs .
