After Action Report

The Lakers took care of the Grizzlies 106-93. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Lakers' 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. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Grizzlies · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
