After Action Report
In Memphis, the Suns shocked the Grizzlies 82-79. Ugly basketball, but the Suns did just enough. The Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Grizzlies owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Grizzlies · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
