After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Grizzlies blew the doors off the Spurs 142-118. The Spurs had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Grizzlies came in with something to prove after a loss; Grizzlies' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Spurs locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Grizzlies per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Grizzlies · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
