After Action Report

In Chicago, the Grizzlies ran roughshod over the Bulls 117-90. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Grizzlies cashed in. The Grizzlies carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 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.
