After Action Report

In Memphis, the Grizzlies snuck past the Pistons 101-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Grizzlies; the Grizzlies couldn't shake the cold spell. Early returns: the Grizzlies per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Grizzlies · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
