After Action Report
The Grizzlies squeaked past the Bulls 102-97. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Grizzlies pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Grizzlies · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
