After Action Report
In Memphis, the Hornets shocked the Grizzlies 104-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat; Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
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.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
