After Action Report
The Grizzlies rolled past the Hornets 144-89. Grizzlies controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Grizzlies owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Grizzlies pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
