After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Grizzlies 94-89. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Shots just aren't falling for the Celtics lately; Grizzlies' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Grizzlies locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Grizzlies utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
