After Action Report

The Grizzlies edged the Trail Blazers 104-98. Ugly basketball, but the Grizzlies did just enough. Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
