After Action Report

In Utah, the Grizzlies buried the Jazz 129-101. The Grizzlies got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Grizzlies came in with something to prove after a loss; Grizzlies' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Grizzlies · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
