After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Grizzlies squeaked past the Clippers 99-95. Ugly basketball, but the Grizzlies did just enough. Grizzlies' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Grizzlies per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Clippers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
