After Action Report
The Grizzlies ran roughshod over the Pistons 111-85. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Grizzlies answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Grizzlies' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Grizzlies per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
