After Action Report
The Grizzlies demolished the Pistons 123-87. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Grizzlies cashed in. The Grizzlies came in with something to prove after a loss; Grizzlies' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
