After Action Report
In Memphis, the Grizzlies blew the doors off the Spurs 139-96. The Spurs had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Grizzlies carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Grizzlies' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Spurs looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Grizzlies per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- 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.
