After Action Report
The Grizzlies buried the Lakers 122-98. Grizzlies' scorers couldn't be contained. Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Grizzlies owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Grizzlies locker room is humming, and it showed. The Grizzlies rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
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 · 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.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
