After Action Report

In Portland, the Grizzlies took care of the Trail Blazers 111-94. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Grizzlies. Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Grizzlies ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. The Grizzlies rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Grizzlies · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
