After Action Report

The Grizzlies survived the 76ers 109-105. Grizzlies torched the 76ers on the offensive end. Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Grizzlies · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
