After Action Report

In Memphis, the Grizzlies shocked the Jazz 119-115. The Jazz had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Grizzlies stayed locked in; Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
