After Action Report

The Spurs survived the Grizzlies 118-116. Spurs torched the Grizzlies on the offensive end. The Spurs carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. The Spurs rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 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.
