After Action Report

The Grizzlies pulled away from the Bobcats 107-88. The Grizzlies won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Grizzlies' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Bobcats' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
