After Action Report
In Memphis, the Grizzlies outlasted the Timberwolves 107-97. The Grizzlies won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Grizzlies' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
