After Action Report
In a track meet, the Grizzlies demolished the Celtics 130-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Grizzlies cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Grizzlies stayed locked in; Grizzlies' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
