After Action Report
The Grizzlies snuck past the Spurs 97-93. Ugly basketball, but the Grizzlies did just enough. Grizzlies' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Spurs couldn't shake the cold spell. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
