After Action Report

The Grizzlies pulled away from the Wizards 130-119. The Grizzlies got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Grizzlies owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Grizzlies couldn't shake the cold spell.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Grizzlies · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
