After Action Report

The Grizzlies held off the Clippers 97-89. The Clippers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Grizzlies. Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Grizzlies answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Grizzlies rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. 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.
  • Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Clippers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
