After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Grizzlies 126-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell; Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Grizzlies locker-room rift aren't helping. The Grizzlies rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
