After Action Report
The Grizzlies held off the Rockets 102-96. Ugly basketball, but the Grizzlies did just enough. Grizzlies' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
