After Action Report

The Spurs outlasted the Grizzlies 109-97. The Spurs won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Spurs pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Grizzlies · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
