Notes

a The 1998–99 season was shortened to 50 games by a lockout, but in the shortened season the Grizzlies were on pace for a 13—69 record over a full season and thus a fourth successive sub-20-win season
b For comparison, in three consecutive seasons – 1996–97’s Vancouver Grizzlies and Boston Celtics; 1997–98’s Denver Nuggets and Toronto Raptors; and 1998–99’s Vancouver Grizzlies and Los Angeles Clippers – but in no others, two teams finished with winning percentages below .200.
