After Action Report
The Grizzlies outlasted the Rockets 119-102. The Grizzlies got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Grizzlies owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
