After Action Report
The Grizzlies ran roughshod over the Heat 129-96. The Grizzlies got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Grizzlies' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Grizzlies per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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.
