After Action Report

The Grizzlies handled the Lakers 114-102. Grizzlies' scorers couldn't be contained. Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Grizzlies owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
