After Action Report

The Grizzlies snuck past the Clippers 117-115. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Grizzlies cashed in. The Grizzlies ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Clippers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Grizzlies · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
