After Action Report
The Grizzlies buried the Lakers 116-79. The Grizzlies got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Grizzlies' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Lakers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
