After Action Report

In Miami, the Grizzlies ran roughshod over the Heat 116-90. Grizzlies' offense had its way with the Heat. Second-chance points piled up for the Grizzlies; the Grizzlies came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Grizzlies · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
