After Action Report
The Grizzlies survived the Rockets 113-109. Grizzlies' scorers couldn't be contained. The Grizzlies steamroller is in full effect right now; Grizzlies' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it

- Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
