After Action Report
The Grizzlies took care of the Rockets 117-107. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Grizzlies answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Grizzlies' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Grizzlies · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
