After Action Report
The Grizzlies handled the Cavaliers 108-98. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Grizzlies' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
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.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
