After Action Report

The Grizzlies survived the Nets 99-94. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Grizzlies. Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Grizzlies' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
