After Action Report
The Grizzlies buried the Trail Blazers 98-75. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Trail Blazers are in a full-on tailspin. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
