Two teams mirroring each other's recent history cross paths Tuesday night when the Golden State Warriors visit the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies, like every other team in the league, can only hope to duplicate even a small piece of the Warriors' dominant run the past five seasons. With five wins (including San Antonio and Utah) in their first 13 games, they appear headed in the right direction.

Hopes are high in Memphis due mainly to first-round selections Jaren Jackson Jr. and Ja Morant the last two seasons, much as Warriors' fortunes changed after they used lottery picks on Stephen Curry (2009) and Klay Thompson (2011).
