After Action Report

The Spurs survived the Grizzlies 106-102. Spurs' offense had its way with the Grizzlies. The Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Grizzlies looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Grizzlies rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Grizzlies · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
