After Action Report

The Grizzlies buried the Jazz 103-76. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
