After Action Report
The Grizzlies squeaked past the Hornets 103-98. The Grizzlies won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Grizzlies came in with something to prove after a loss. Early returns: the Grizzlies per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Grizzlies · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
