After Action Report
In Memphis, the Grizzlies outlasted the Trail Blazers 119-112. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Grizzlies looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; 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 · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
