After Action Report

In Memphis, the Celtics squeaked past the Grizzlies 98-96. The better team simply showed up tonight. Celtics' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Grizzlies.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
