After Action Report

The Grizzlies squeaked past the Rockets 110-109. Ugly basketball, but the Grizzlies did just enough. Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Grizzlies. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
