After Action Report

The Grizzlies blew the doors off the Warriors 115-85. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Grizzlies cashed in. The Grizzlies answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Grizzlies' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Warriors locker-room rift aren't helping. Warriors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Warriors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Grizzlies · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
