After Action Report
The Grizzlies ran roughshod over the Lakers 129-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Grizzlies cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Grizzlies stayed locked in; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Grizzlies per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
